Conservapedia:What is going on at CP?/June 2008

← Previous archive Next archive →

• Bugler doesn't get how burden of proof works
• This kind of taunting is not allowed, we respect person's own talk pages...except, you know, to warn of blocking, thas okay!
• Andy tells user Dotherightthing to change his username to his first name and last initial. What do you think the odds are that he won't deign to make the same request of new boytoy "Bugler?" ...unless he already did, and infant Bugle Richards had parents who already hated him.
• After removing liberal support, TrueValues was told by Argon to stop and by Henry to stop. After Andy did it, Argon expected for Andy to be treated the same way. TrueValues put it back, against Andy's wishes. Then Henry admits that truth is subjective. Ouch.
• RationalWiki hits the big time.... if Andy sticking his tongue out is considered the big time|
• Wheel war!
• Andy has a new best friend!
• Daphnea leaves a parthian shot. & Bungler bans for life (see also user:SusanG/Daphnea for a full Parthian.) CPAdmin1 disagrees with Bungler and unblocks.
• Roger Schlafly just missed achieving his life's dream as proclaimed on CP's main page. Funny, I thought gluttony was one of the seven deadly sins!
• Even Conservatives hate CP now. Just because things have a way of vanishing, have some screen shots
• Let's analyse LT's latest massacre: Saying he writes for children makes sense, that's true.... Not giving any alternative views is standard CP protocol... Demotion from novel to book to make him sound like Dr. Seuss, sure... No awards, he's too liberal, yes.... but... wait, why the change in modifier from "Only one" to "A." Did "A" become more conservative lately?
• LT craps all over other user's work, demanding sources. The original user obliges, providing sources for just about every sentence. LT reverts again, apparently just because he feels like it|
• Turn away from prayer, end up 400 million dollars in debt. Turn towards it, end up 9.1 trillion dollars in debt.
• PJR on Ed's talk: "These (part) sections were archived too. Leaving /part/ of a conversation here making it look like a claim wasn't answered could be considered deceitful, and we wouldn't want that, would we?"
  Ed: Actually, I would want that. Bugger off. UPDATE: Trouble in paradise, PJR completely pwns Uncle Ed
• CP in a nutshell.
  JDavidson: "Hi Ed, I was given a warning while the sysop who did the same thing I did got away without anything. Are you going to warn him, too?"
  Ed: *blocks*
  Wandering: "Why did you block him? He just pointed out that Kara wasn't warned despite having committed the same violation..."
  Ed: *blocks*
  

As a bonus, Ed says what we all already knew.

• Barack Obama was allegedly Born in the U.S.A.! But if he wasn't... omigod, he can't be President of Andy!!!
• Andy has "peer reviewed many papers" himself!. Fafuksake who for?!!!!
• Andy to wandals: "Bring it on!"
• Want to know how to spot an anti-Semite? Just look for the missing vowels.
• "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." Okay, maybe just villainy.
• This just in, Ed doesn't understand the concept of peer review either|
• Karajou posts a link degrading the public school system, but doesn't notice the glaring grammatical errorsin his post|
• Kowardjou continues his adult streak, reverting back his version of a page, locking it to ensure it stays that way and screaming MINE on the talk page
• Some anonymous people on the internet admit something may be true, therefore it is. Also, we won't say exactly where to read it, lest you find out we're putting words in his mouth.
• Why does this seem slightly ironic?
• Still taking a pounding from the Lenski Debacle, Andy has returned to his second favorite pastime: threateningusers and whitewashing anything that makes him look stupid
• Next time, Ken, at least attempt to ensure your links match your text; it's beyond obvious in this case
• Way to go Koward, that's exactly how an adult makes intelligent conversation|
• The kissing-up meter reaches level "brown", and will soon break when honorary Conservapedian and Conservative Award Nominee Phyllis Schlafly is presented with the Phyllis Schlafly Award for conservativism.
• The right to keep and bear arms, recently upheld by the Supreme Court, is a triumph of Justice Scalia's textualism in interpreting the law. If textualism suits you and your interests, it's just fine.
• This site is growing rapidly! Reality has such a liberal bias.
• In yet another segment of our NOVA series on assholes, we notice this particular specimen furtively thieving away archive links. Note the beautiful plumage on this one, and hideous amounts of deception oozing from his slime ducts as he hides the odoriferous waste of the rest of his tribe. Update: PJR says "No". He's too good for that place...
• The irony here is that the jerky one doesn't mean Andy: No, your edits were not a problem. It was the edits of those individuals who decided to use this talk page as an attack forum. hint: Our favorite bag o' bluster is referring to the Andy's cover up of his own venom on the Lenski incident talk page
• Kenji explains at length how Andy and Co. are guilty of all the things they like to accuse Liberals of. Karajou is too stupid to comprehend what he's saying, and censors it, then smites the filthy heretic. (Note the comment on the ban.)
• Paranoid much? Maybe it is because deep inside you think the "smear" is accurate.
• A good way to endear yourself to Andy is to block his future son-in-law as a "Purveyor of filth" for including a link to a Christian Porn Site.
• Poe's Law is universal, but nowhere else it is as strong as it is in Conservapedia.
• Question. Answer. Removed! Re-answer. Re-removed! "Was this removed by accident?" No. OH & btw Karajou, "You're a wuss!"

And yet again!

• Reproducing Lenski's experiment? Why waste time with it, it doesn't support evolution anyway, says PJR.
• As usual, the left hand doesn't know WTF the right hand is up to: Even while LT preaches that truth, respect and non-judgmental style should be used while editing, Ken keeps "improving" one of CP's most biased, disrespectful and judging entries.
• Dr. Lenski beware, Andrew Schlafly has only begun to fight! We must all stay tuned and he will get back to us as soon as he finishes that whole FBI thing.
• Conservative's new great effort: Atheism and deceit User:Conservative/Atheism and deceit after move Atheism and deceit - and no matter how much Deborah complains, it will remain locked. Precious. Ssssmine. My precious, nasty little gurl sharn't haz it.
• It's Learn Together's sad duty to decide who is a Christian and who isn't. And he apparently decided that Jack Chick is one of "those who in word and deed live the Christian message". Update: It's nice to be seen.
• Saying that Hitler called himself a Christian will get you banned for infinity - as well as the other 65,535 IPs in your range.
• Some of the links below won't work, because DeanS burned his own talk page in order to save it.
• Hey, Ultimahero, let me rearrange your castle for a while. UPDATE No! leave him alone!.
• Burgler accuses Tim of starting an auto da fe. Update: Yeah, I'm sure its Poor Ed's rights of expression those that are being denied.
• Ed is in action again: first by harassing PJR, then with some wonderful irony, finally giving a 1 day block for this. UPDATE: Pwnd.
• "No, Mommy, I don't know what is going on. I have been banging my head against the wall over and over, but it's still there. I still don't get it."
• Desperate for DeanS Step one: Get rid of those facts, we're better off believing a sysop if it means bringing him back! Step two: discredit the opposition. Step three: bully, threaten, and demand. Update: A fair-minded Christian voice in the wilderness.
• Yes, clearly this pillar of genius was worthy of block rights.
• Yeah, we're moving on up/ to the East Side!
• Bugler has turned into Assfly's guard dog, warns AaronP to stop saying Assfly called Lenski a lying cheat. Update: Now he's trying to turn the missing link into the new FBI. Update: ZTak: Please, mind your own business - Bugler: No, YOU mind your own business!
• Conservapedia went down, around 12:00 EST, 24th June 2008. Await developments. UDPATE CP is back up. A user asks why it was down for 5 hours and receives a full and frank explanation from Andy.
• Professor Lenski pwns Schlafly, BSE, JD; overuses the word "acolyte". Summary of reply to request: We will of course release the data and the raw materials to competent scientists, though if you had bothered to learn to read you would see it is all in the paper. Summary of pwnage: too wonderful to summarize. Read it yourself. Taking bets on how long it takes for "angry outbursts" to make the professor values list. (A temporary copy of Dr. Lenski's reply is here, since Conservapedia seems to be having trouble processing http: requests tonight in a timely fashion.) Update:Yep, talk about the attitude, dismiss the data, makes perfect sense logically. Less Delete any possible reference to RatWiki. Attaboy, Andy! You hear me talkin' fundie-pwning boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight! I'm gonna... Stay tuned!
• How will they fill the gaps by the sysops leaving? Simple, promote the worst sort to fill their shoes. Note: He still cannot Move, Protect nor Delete individual pages. Though he can lock the database.
• "A start" on more Lenski-bashing?
• According to cp:condom the condom (which doesn't need to be defined) is not as effective at birth control as fidelity. It would seem that you can't get pregnant if you don't screw around. And it prevents teen pregrancy. Update: In an ironic move, Ed protects the article.
• Learn together reverts the Philip Pullman article to a better version, containing wonderful prose like 'Critics brand his books subversively anti-religious. Defenders say it's all good fun.'
• Due process is for the weak.
• USA and Poland reject Theory of Evolution. United Nations in disarray.
• Now KevinM (who he?) accuses Andy of calling the Holy See liars. Update(s) Just read the whole thing, particularly: "I've already spent far too much time on this issue when more pressing issues need attention. But I looked again at this entry and found it to be 100% correct" from the infallible Pope Andy. Moer There's no stopping KevinM. DoubleMoer PJR is ice cold.
• That deceitful Dawkins allegedly managed to sneak into Expelled by using his real name "Clinton" - that alone was enough to fool everybody into letting in a guy with the last name "Dawkins" who also happened to look like Richard Dawkins.
• Welcome to "CP in a nutshell"!
  STATSMSN: Ken, you never addressed my arguments satisfactorily. This dialogue is becoming quite futile.
  ANDY: Die, alien scum!
  Hey, Andy? MYOB.
• Is PJR is planning to go out in a blaze of glory? This reply isn't going to win him many friends amongst the sysops. Good to see PJR standing up for the little people - finally a sysop has realised what their purpose is. How long until he gets slapped back into line, however? The counter starts.... now. Update: Andy is pwned by PJR! Update2: ...and the debate is ended with slappage.
• Ed Poor demonstrates just how clueless he is about other cultures
• Stand aside Sun Myung Moon Ban Ki-moon! SuperWikiConflictResolutionMan to the rescue.
• Andy cravenly begs Dan to stay... by rehashing the same old crap about Obama not being a Christian.
• Oh noes, Crocite is gone! Now who will post up all those blog entries news headlines??
• That's all fine and well, Croco. However, when exactly same methods (using biased sources, portraying the statements and actions of single persons as representative for the entire topic, etc.) are used to portray atheism as evil, that's cool?
• Completely lacking any of the intellectual tools needed to participate in a debate, let alone ever win one, Conservative takes the George Aiken response to getting pwned by StatsMsn: declare victory and leave. Update: But what do you do when the debate continues? Easy: Misrepresent results, pretend you're not interested, fling out thinly veiled insults and rely on Andy to take care of things while your opponent does pretty much the opposite of last wordism.
• Instead of writing articles about unimportant crap like the Hoover Dam, CP sysops like Conservative write about the truly pressing issues like homosexual bathhouses and disease! Update: You're welcome, Bugler.
• Upon leaving the polling station, some voters have reported being set upon by a besuited goon. Just another day of wonderful Conservapedian justice. Incidentally: StatsFan has been blocked under the 90/10 rule four times now -- he's breaking the 90/10:4/1 rule! Get 'im, boys! UPDATE: WERD.
• Andy's New Rule: "You're perfectly welcome to talk with me as long as you repeat what I say . . . My new rule is in effect below this line ..."
• Moar! MOAR POWER!Cue maniacal laughter.
• You know the next Great Purge is coming when more folks sign this and this instead of this.
• Beware, Conservative has (hopefully) moved on from mindless forum/blog spamming/trolling and now approaches Viral Marketing (Image backup since Ken has a habit of deleting his link lists every couple of hours). Update: Woosh! Down the memory hole.
• Since Lenski hasn't responded in 48 hours, Andy declares this a refusal to release the data and will now contact the editor-in-chief of the journal PNAS because the journal must have violated its own policies. Update: Andy's own dubious "scientific facts" are called into question. Andy decides he doesn't like all the talk pollution. But wait, there's more: Assfly cranks the irony generator to 11.
• Karajou pwned by PJR. Nice one, Philip!
• Muslims are worse than extremist Christians. Any examples to the contrary are simply exceptions to the rule!
• A nice, convenient list of people who will soon be blocked.
• Oh no, it looks like whatever Ken has is indeed contagious|
• Learn Together explains why sysops hand out the day/week long blocks like fricken candy: Those are just the warnings!
• "911, what's your emergency?" "I run a conservative encyclopedia, and I'm reporting a vulgar vandal." "How vulgar?" "He put the word 'penis' into an article." "Is that all?" "He also put a link to 4chan.org into an article." "OK, we'll send a squad car out right away. Thank you for calling."
• Conservapedia's average IQ takes a hit as DanH quits in protest over the attempts to portray Obama as less than fully Christian.
• DinsdaleP: Instead of assuming what Lenski thinks, why not give him time to respond himself? Andy: Okay, I checked my watch, and it's time to STFU! Update: Thou shalt not point out that I painted myself into a corner - or else!
• "The only way this can be settled is if we have access to the genetic sequences of the bacteria colonies so that we can apply CSI techniques and determine if these "potentiated genotypes" originated through blind chance or intelligence"[1]
• Bugler tells PJR that he's not the ombudsman and shouldn't try to be!
• Apparently, PJR does not know Yiddish.
• DanH is really not thrilled about CP's apparent position on the Obama-Muslim issue.
• Congratulations, sysops Joaquín Martínez and Learn together. You finally managed to make Tom snap after weeks of endless sysop power abuse and refusal to discuss editorial direction - with predictable results. Update: Aziraphale gets gunned down for not cheering on the sysops. Uh, okay: Henry engages in damage control and reasons that if people can't complain, they can't be banned for complaining. Update: In the meantime, JM pretends that nothing ever happened.
• Fearless sysop Bohdan asks under fire editor TomMoore to do his dirty work for him. Tom may be brave but he's not stupid. Bohdan is, however, happy to sign the Moreclopedic Pleez Petition, and even suggested Tom pester CPAdmin1 to get their signature.
• Further evidence that the Assfly is a mega-self-contradictory goon.
• PJR, as he is wont to do, says the right thing.
• Ed Poor shows us his level of maturity
• Schlafly shows us the meaning of the word diligence. "I skimmed the paper, and the learned nothing from the pretty pictures. Therefore, clearly I need to skim more data." Also I don't need no biology, bitch. I'm an ENGINEER! Update Andy cops some straight talking from PJR. Update the third: Quoth Assfly "that's totally and absolutely not my transparently obvious motivation for doing this. And I'll block and revert anyone who says otherwise."
• Deborah shows us an easy way to improve our 90/10 stats. (Image backup, just in case a sysop goes on a deletion spree)
• PJR heroically pre-empts the corruption of innocent minds by filthy articles (Screenshot here, 'cause it'll vanish with time).
• Who would've thought you had to follow Wikipedia's guidelines while on Conservapedia? And why is the sysop who thinks so misapplying it? And what is stopping him from deleting its equivalent? (Old, but related: You also have to obey another Wikipedia guideline that doesn't exist on CP.)
• Can you sense a pattern? Update - or not?
• Andy looks for people to sign his letter to Lenski. Six hours later he has three: Himself, some guy named after a largely defensive weapon of gun whose user page is still a redlink, and TomMoore, a known pain in the ass. Update: Up to 20; down to 6
• Ymmotrojam isn't too happy with the "the truth shall set you free" quote because it equates Andy's views with Jesus. How long until he realizes that that's most likely exactly what Andy wanted to say?
• There no need to fear! Signed, the Trusworthy Encyclopedia.
• Conservapedia user Jack Smith dares to suggest that the burden of proof is on the Creationist. Circular reasoning soon follows. UPDATE: And the battle continues! Jack smith, shackled by the bonds of logic and the steel ball of sanity, continues to struggle to survive the onslaught from the divine warriors, defying all known laws of reality with the aid of their god! UPDATE 2: these just might be JackSmith's last words.
• How to edit an article, Joaquín Martínez style: Revert anything that happened since your last edit and continue from there. Rinse, repeat. Oh, and keep ignoring the other editors. Update: A reply! JM claims that Tom didn't "give explanations or wait for a reply"(!!!) More: Learn Together solves the conflict by only allowing JM to edit. Update: Tom is not allowed to ask Andy for input Oh, my: JM and Tom exchange blows... (scroll down to the first horizontal line) once, before JM realizes that he lost and resorts to silly taunts and threats. Full Circle: Tom asks if there are any other objections... and JM replies by silently protecting the article again. Update: Learn Together to the rescue: JM is "a man of the arts" and shouldn't be pestered by lowly editors like you, Tom!
• Sign up now to ensure Andy starts really bothering Prof. Lenski!
• DLerner, is blocked by Karajou for daring to question the quality of Andy's epistle essay
• Finally a bit of balance to Andy's bullshit article about marriage, TomMoore strikes back with Essay:Marry Someone You Love
• Mistake or being a dick? With TerryH, it has become impossible to tell, but either way, one day magically became one month. Update: TerryH confirms that it was dickery: "No accident"
• Wasn't it <sorry> Hitler </sorry> and Stalin who compiled lists of their enemies? Or was it the Mikado "I've got a little list... and you'll surely not be missed ..."?
• No, no, Koward! When he said "Irresponsible liars should not be given admin powers", he didn't mean you, although that's a natural assumptions. Blocking him and Jimmy both for "speaking truth to power" does make the connection pretty good, though.
• The Red Queen's justice: sentence first, then trial!
• So far, the list is surprisingly honest. Update: liberals are infertile sluts.
• Oh. My. God. The whole user talk page reeks of abuse by TerryH, including little bits like HenryS gleefully wanting to toss around blocks. Discussion, Conservapedia style. Update TerryH goes spare threatens everyone with blocks if they all don't grovel to him and blocks Aggrieved for two weeks for "Contempt of the administration".
• Did anyone else notice this gem - "Since many liberal men get bossed around by their feminist liberal wives, it appears likely many liberal men may be eating creamy peanut butter even though they prefer crunchy peanut butter deep down." - !??!?!?!
• No such thing as bad publicity: Andy proudly advertises that even the military makes fun of him.
• Hi, Bohdan? Uh, since when? December 2006 called; they want you back there. Update: the entire population of CP is ruining it. (And how, exactly, does one "ruin" a pile of shit?)
• According to TerryH, giving the "enemy combatants" held at Guantanamo Bay any sorts of rights will inevitably lead to a new terror attack. (2-for-1 "Lulz": The mere fact that you are held at Guantanamo Bay is evidence of your guilt - there are no innocents.) Update: Terry goes on and claims that every single released Guantanamo Bay prisoner "has turned up doing exactly the same thing again—killing Americans." Somebody doubts this and gets a nice "Prove me wrong with citations, apologize, or be banhammered!" letter in return. Later: DanH chimes in. Why do I get the impression that he's restraining himself 'cause Terry's a fellow sysop. update: Jimmy says what everyone's been thinking.
• Ever-vigilant, Andy reverts the anti-Christian edits done to the Faith article, which had been inserted by...Tom Major of Creationwiki!?
• Ken demonstrates what constitutes a good source on CP. Presumably a hero of Ken's.
• Learn Together is working hard to portray Obama as a bad man that nobody should vote for: First, let's move up the drug issue, even if two sysops agreed to move it down! And good news simply has no place in the Obama article.
• Now boys and girls, what does this tell us? Right, conservatives don't understand logic. Or reality. Or charity. Which is weird as conservatives love charity. Perhaps it's the tax write-off?
• Andy's written a letter to Prof. Lenski contesting his E.Coli experimental data. Philip points out that he might not be the best person to write such a letter, not being a scientist. Andy, however, doesn't afraid of anything and thinks he's a pretty cool guy. We're sure Prof. Lenski will jump right on this. Update: Andy pulls a Kenny and issues his challenge on the main page. Update: The professor has responded. More update: "Lenski's reply did not provide the data as requested."
• The Sixties were a decade of evil and horror. Also there might have been a civil rights movement and a moon landing at some point, possibly.
• Aziraphale returns and tries to help by pointing out the implications of a quote... only to end up getting randomly insulted by Ken while Ed watches. Update: Best. Reply. EVER. Moer lulz: Sir, ah say, sir! Az bitch slaps Kenny with his duelling debating glove and demands satisfaction! And our hero bottles it!!!111!!!11ONE1!!
• Ed decides to one-up Andy's attempt at breaking the Irony Meter (see below, the last wordism entry) and makes "a plea for scientific objectivity"
• What makes a good parable? Good Samaritans and prodigal sons? Shite, says Andy. A homeless guy and dog poop, that's the ticket!
• CPAdmin1 plays with fire. Good Luck, Tim.
• Andy hates last wordism so much that he's putting his foot down on a conversation. Some might call this "having the last word."
• Obama's "57 states" misstatement couldn't have been a mere unintentional verbal gaffe of the sort made by everyone every day. No it was a coded remark showing he is actually a Muslim. Of course, we all know he just likes beans.
• Assfly is pwned once again. But you know, it's just "talk pollution".
• HenryS protects "Barack Obama" over edit warring... and ha ha then asks for ha ha consensus ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! That was funny.
• Andy finds another award with evil, liberal bias.
• CP's mainpage talk page burns down yet again. And yet again, it is "restored" completely without edit history.
• Learn Together knows that it's really the Arabs with the persecution complex Update: To drive the point home, he comes up with an argument that basically grinds down to "I don't care about 15% more violence - those Arabs in our country are still better off than they would be in their home countries, so it's all good. Yay, America!" Update: After realizing his patriotic rhethoric failed, the Lt. tries again, this time with faulty math and a block to make sure he's convinced. Update: CPAdmin1 at least improves the situation by shortening the block (still curious what made him deserve the now 2-day block, but hey, better than permanent). In the meantime, LT goes wild and gives a 1-week block for this (admittedly bold) edit. More update: JamesM is perma-banned again.
• Andy, how can we take you seriously when you're still bringing up nonsense that was explained to you eight years ago? Open your mind! Oh, and who were the Creationists that exposed Piltdown Man as a fraud, hm?
• Hold the presses! Conservative has some great stuff for us soon. Let's hope it's as good as falling face-first over challenging Austin Cline. Update: Now you see it, now you don't! And what Ken didn't see is that he is editing on the user page of user "Conservative-Research-American-Atheists-organization"
• Just like anybody who did anything bad is (by definition) not a conservative, anybody who "causes wars while claiming to be Christian" may not be called a Christian on CP.
• What do you get with six weeks of editing? Sysop Lite powers, apparently.
• "(Obama) is not immune from criticism based on his race". What kind of criticism would that be, Andy?
• Andy shows us how to deal with adversity like a grown up. You're an inspiration to us all, Andy.
• Is Terry suggesting what it seems he's suggesting? Yup, today's younguns' music is evil, in my days we used to...
• Crocoite/DeanS: If you remove my image, I'll block you. Those crazy, evil liberal editors start protesting, but that will show 'em. Oh noes, ideological blocking accusation! UPDATE: Do I hear three days? More update: CPAdmin1 joins the crowd of people that are against the image. Time to ban CPAdmin1!
• TerryH shows the love. Are YOU happy there, Terry? We worry.
• All 5-year blocks are equal. Except that Aschlafly's 5-year blocks are more equal than others
• The elusive CPWebmaster makes his monthly edit, telling AliceBG to love CP or leave it. As we know, there are no other options.
• AliceBG attempts to gently teach PJR the facts of life.
• More evidence that Andy can't read. And people trust him to teach their kids? Update Thank you, Alice. I can respond, now that you've explained it to me.
• The history lectures haven't even started and they already suck:[2]. Also Andy's use of the term comes out as unintentionally honest.
• Andy's "10 Ways Liberals Create Atheists" essay includes the assertion that denying Hell is one of those ways. Hello, Tom, how's it going, you dirty liberal atheist-creator?
• Ever the team player, Ken expands his Summa Homosexualita to include Homosexuality and MRSA. Who's going to break it to him that CP's already got one?
• That'll go down well in the Colonies. (Look at the Edit Summary)
• Uncle Ed gets told to go to college to learn about communism!
• Andy, if you're going to lie like a rug, it's best not to do it when the refutation is at the top of the same page. Moer That explains everything: Andy can't read!
• DeanS inserts this picture into the Obama article and slaps down the editor who repeatedly tried to remove it. I guess we can also insert such (De)Motivators into the articles for people like Bush and McCain now, right? Yeah, right.
• Terry quietly suggests that an editor might like to rethink an edit on the grounds that it calls into question Andy's academic career (although that's not how he puts it).
• Andy's logic: "Suffering in Hell for all eternity is simply punishment. Just like prison. So saying that infinite suffering in Hell is over the top is like opposing any and all forms of punishment."
• Are we seriously expected to believe that Conservative, the guy who obsesses over link spamming and Search Engine Manipulation, doesn't know what a Google Bomb is?
• "Our article about environmental alarmism cites somebody who speaks of environmental alarmists, and a simple Google search would confirm that we really didn't coin this term, but let's just say we did."
• It's the return of the "Liberal [noun]" articles! Go, go, go, "Liberal fluff"! UPDATE with conservative fluff!![3] UPDATE AGAIN: Alas, there is no conservative fluff, only liberal deceit|
• The suspiciously always helpful Deborah provides a useful link in support of creationism. Muslim creationism.
• PJR tells a user that he needs to do more research and not be so fixed in his views. Pot, kettle, black.
• By the law of averages, every once in a thousand times even Kajagoogoo's got to do something right. He blocks Alfred 123 because he's apologising for a racist.
• Ed outsources his thinking, apparently saving 2 cents in the process.
• Half the CP leadership filled the hall? Where did they hold it, a closet? Also noteworthy in that diff: Someone used Conservapedia for schoolwork! Break out the champagne, the impossible has happened and someone finally managed to get coherent information enough to do a project!
• Brother Jim gets 2 hours for taking exception to a bit of Mormon querying. (Who's gonna tell the croc?):UPDATE Andy deletes the debate.
• Ladies and gentlemen, you can now be blocked for having a history of blocks. Perhaps Tom should draw attention to his "history of unblocks"?
• In a rare moment of honesty, Conservative admits that his Atheism Quotes article is intended to be a quote mine, all for the greater glory of Ken's ego page hits for CP. (screenshot evidence for when Ken drops it all down the memory hole)
• The nice thing about people like Andy is that they never really become boring. Whenever we get used to their madness, they upgrade. Like this incident, where Andy heavily implies that the media is about as authoritative as your classmates, gets called out about it... and then goes into overdrive!
• Was JM asleep at the wheel for almost one year or does he actually endorse man-boy love as something to thank Greek culture for? 17 edits in a row between August 28 and June 4, and this line was left intact the entire time!
• PJR tells us interesting tidbits about Liberal Sysops, CP and Time Magazine. (He pretty much blows the doors wide open on Conservapedia's biases and perspectives) Update: pwned by Jareddr.
• Andy removes liberal bias - should we tell him that it was added by Rob Smith?
• Karajou removes a valid comparison of the War on Drugs to 1920s prohibition. Edits are re-instated and reverted again. After being added a third time, they're removed again and also he locks the article. After repeatedly being asked for reasons he says "Because I said so". After being advised it's reasonable to request reasons starts to threaten the editor and complains that he has to give reasons and says the edits need to be fully referenced. However, as the article is blocked the editor points out that said edits cannot be made. Update: another editor has a go at Karajou (in a creative way) which gets reverted.
• CP tries to state that Atheism causes suicide, but the article used as evidence merely claims an association, so amended. Update: facts are "awkward and confusing".
• CP's persecution complex flares up again.
• What foul parodist could have added this claim to a perfectly reasonable article? Not I, said the walrus. Update: And on the talk page, the typical "Andy Logic vs. Sources" scenario unfolds... with an all-sysop cast for a change.
• Even though Ted Kennedy had brain surgery the tumor is still inoperable. Update: Let's hope that this correction survives...
• It was inevitable, Mister Anderson Moore: He just returned and already rediscovered why CP is a very "special" wiki project.
• Is it humorous if you need to tell people in advance?
• Schlafly is not only an expert on Constitutional Law, All Things Medical, American Politics, Australian Politics, British Politics, New Zealand Politics, Education, Liberal-Spotting, Hollywood, Academia, The Bible, Tasteful Mockery, Senatorial Misconduct and Proper Spelling For Women's Names.... He knows everything there is to know about Ireland too, Bitches!
• CP's Resident "Lawyer" seems to have discovered a flawless new method for providing proof. No doubts he's a hit in the courtroom "Your honor, look at these results, my client is innocent"
• Oh snap, somebody defends his edit with good points! Quick, let's threaten him until he shuts up!
• CP has an anti-Christian (and anti-Irish Protestant) bias!
• Words just can't express the stupid.
• Doctors say ectopic pregnancies are usually fatal.... But Andy found one example where it wasn't. This proves that doctors don't know a thing.... only lawyers have true medical insight. But those lawyers don't always know their rules of plurality. Bonus: Pwned with Liberal Logic.
• Ed, you're charging more than it's worth.
• Sigh. What a mess. Aren't there disambiguation pages to prevent this sort of thing? Update: Picture pretty, picture stays. More Updates:Picture goneAgain JM puts his foot down. Will it remain? Bonus Terry drops the C-bomb! Will Andy charge for copyright?
• Uh oh, how will someone take this?
• One error fixed, only about 54618324 more to go.
• Ed Poor to TomMoore: "You aren't allowed to just delete stuff from your talk page, you must archive it! Sure, several sysops don't do it or openly say that they reserve the right to not archive stuff, but you must. PS: Writing plan now or die." UPDATE: Tom is foolish enough to think that Ed might be interested in justice. Update again: Tom realizes that Ed sneakily made his Writing Plan a CP rule some time ago and quits. Congrats, Ed, your mission was a complete success. :/ (Image backup, just in case) Surprise update: Learn Together says that Ed Poor takes his words back and "hopes that no offense is taken". Uhh... right. Wandering immediately asks the obvious question why Ed couldn't even be arsed to do this himself (which is a damn good question when you consider that Ed had been active at the time of LT's statement...). The reply sorta makes sense, but it still looks as if Ed can't be arsed to apologize for bullying (and note how LT's message contains no actual admission of bullying... it all just "turned out differently in retrospect than he had first envisioned when he wrote it"). Conclusion(?): Tom's back!
• "I have seen evidence of my crazy assertion, but I refuse to show it to you" Finally managed to get a response And... uh oh, dissent?
• Ed demands a writing plan. Why? For demonstrating that facts have a liberal bias and using them requires an apology - or else!
• Ken protects the Atheism Quotes article, for no stated reason as usual. Could it be because someone was trying to add quotes by actual atheists?
• The sundial needs to be wound again. Canceling a debate two weeks in advance is now "pulling out at the 11th hour" - and said "press release" about an event from 1994 of course needs a dedicated article on CP.
• Ah, Andy never disappoints. It seems "clear[ing] out liberal fluff" now involves removing the plaintiffs and reasons for the decision in a legal case, and replacing them with easily-debunked lies. How did Andy pass the bar again, and did it involve kneepads? Bonus Snark It's the mark of a good manager to ride roughshod over contributions agreed by your own editors and sysops. Well done! Update: Jimmy is not amused... Update: "legal reasoning is not as important as the outcome" - wait, what? How did this guy even get into law school, let alone pass the bar? MORE MORE MORE: Even when he's been beaten senseless on every point, the Assfly has many tricks. Ah, an old favorite: accuse an editor of ignorance and repeat the same shit over and over again
• Kenservative gets all excited over "a potential link between atheism and suicide", based on a Reverend's sermon from over 100 years ago. Lol!
• THANK YOU, PHILIP. Signed, the guy who brought this up multiple times more than one year ago.
• Andrew Schlafly, Esquire, on the First Amendment's establishment clause.
• Ed Poor's interpretation of a family-friendly encyclopedia.
• Facts = Liberal bias. Andy removes liberal bias from the "Opposition to classroom prayer" article.
• Breaking News! CP makes the amazing discovery that controversy sells!
• It's not every day we say this, but well done Karajou for being a man and admitting mistakes
• Examples of Bias in Conservapedia regarding Examples of Bias in Wikipedia. Related: Jinx may want to look at Conservaphobia and Gunaphobia (or maybe even Homophobia) before pushing the official definition of "phobia" as the only interpretation...
• Sometimes, these things practically write themselves: Phyllis Schlafly thinks that it's more important to prevent the ACLU from winning cases than to worry about who will be the next President.
• First rule of CP: You can't win. Case in point: Tom Moore has to endure bullying by Karajou, Ed Poor, a potentially fake RobS and now Learn Together before LT finally blocks him because Tom dared to imply that Kara may have learned a lesson.
• Prepare for many lulz. And to kick things off, he instantly displays the good old CP sysop charm again. Update: The lulz has already ended.
• Brainwishing - we live in hope Ed's wish comes true and he's given a brain.
• Proof positive. If you hit the bottle, God (in the form of LearnTogether) sez you ain't a Christian no more.
• Conservative is turning senile. Someone, please remind him also to continue being nuts in 5-6 days.
• When it comes right down to it, cowards always blink first. Lesson learned.
• Well Ken, we know for a fact your parents didn't name you Conservative FREE LULZ: Extra points for the pwnage all around|
• Andy: We don't delete accounts. Except for, you know, regularly:[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
• Statistics, Conservapedia-style: 1600 voters on the IMDB website gave Expelled an 8.5 out of 10 rating (once you remove the 2261 votes that ranked it a "1")
• Conservative's a LIAR! He claims to be happy about deleting his Cline crap.
• Need to cite a fact? Make up your own reference.
• Conservapedia bunker video passes 8000 views!!! non-alcoholic beer for everyone!!! Congratulations Andy, about 3.635 million more hits and you'll be as popular as the skateboarding dog!
• The only reason to do this is ideology.
• Your challenge is accepted! Your challenge is refused!
• Ed has no concept of irony whatsoever. (Maybe not, but that made me laugh! :-)
• Naturally, that's what it means. And only that. Naturally, Ed's an idiot.
• PJR smacks down Karajou. UPDATE: (In response to this) Karajou sees evidence and demands more before he'll believe it (complete with deadline, moved goalposts and block threat - that's what you get for trying to help!) Update: Tom commits suicide-by-sysop. Update: In the meantime, Ed silently changes the headline to make it look as if the entire "Kool-Aid/Flavor-Aid" discussion was off-topic and then condemns historical revisionism in an apparent attempt to win today's Irony Award.
• Crocoite/DeanS/Whatever is promoted, while the Assfly makes yet another legal threat.
• Dear PJR: I am so glad we could work together on the atheism and Austin Cline thing. We totally did this together and we are both awesome. I was not obviously wrong and being laughed at, and there is no chance that I was overruled because I was being a huge tool. We sure are swell. Love, Conservative.
• That ***** Conservative deletes much lulz. He then re-instates it. What did he permadelete? Update: PJR and Deborah apparently also asked him to delete the Main Page talk page... and his spamming project page... and his PZ Myers shout-out... and Template:Mainpageleft... and Template:Mainpageright... (He even deleted/restored his own user & talk pages) And it seems that he scrubbed several of his "That coward! Fight me!" shout-outs in the process, as well as the protests about them... UPDATE: PJR really isn't amused about Ken screwing up like this in his name.
• Question:What is MOER than "infinite"? Why "infinite", of course! Well, to be quite technical, infinity is more than infinity, but it's also exactly the same, and less. all in a highly simplistic sense, of course.
• Conservative answers a question with a question - the same question.
• Liking Canada is a blockable offense. Apparently it's a good way to please the boss too.
• God loves everyone _{unless they're not Christian}
• "There should be more tolerance for edits made in good faDELETED! The very definition of "tolerance". With bonus tolerance thrown in.
• Really, Fernoklump, is it too much to ask for you to just buckle down and grovel at the feet of the Almighty? Err.. yes! Update: Never mind, apparently it's not too much to ask when someone threatens you like a dockside bully.
• Conservative makes up a new kind of news, and even Deborah objects. Bonus points for Deborah's Freudian slip. Update: The rebellion is stopped swiftly - you are not allowed to point out that Conservative makes the CP "community" look like idiots. Also, it took Kendoll his usual six edits to add the paragraph "challenging" poor pwned PZ Myers.
• In regards to people noting that Conservative uses "In regards to" way too often, it has to be noted that in respect to these complaints, Conservative is certainly listening. Note: How long before he realizes that the phrases aren't synonomous?Godspeed!
• Conservative is not a coward. In fact, he's so much of a non-coward that he can just block anyone who suggests otherwise.More: that's Fighting Talk where I come from. Still Moer but on Conservapedia it's blocking talk! And Then Some Not wanting to get left out, the Koward lives up to his name in a fit of irony. You can smell the urine running down his pantsleg from here!
• Teh Evolution! Also, nice irony with a propagandizing church.
• Conservapedia finally has a blocking policy with highlights like "Don't ask why you were blocked, just be sure to not do what you did or didn't do again."
• Ed fails at math. And he can't stand being called out. Quote: "given your username's implied claim to have some statistics expertise, I've blocked your account" - you all knew about this new user name policy, right?
• Orders are orders and must be obeyed without question. Ja mein Führer! (clicks heels & salutes)
• This just in! God can't read minds!
• Psst...it's a code word for racism. Extra translation credit It means Andy's threatening you. That means you're right. UPDATE: racism removed
• Rogers (sic) asks a question. When he doesn't get an answer, his friend Hammerstein asks the same question. When he doesn't get an answer, their pal Gilbert asks it a third time. It's only a matter of time before Sullivan shows up and we all break into song. Update Too many difficult questions. Pour on petrol, stand back, light a match and.... problem solved. This also (hopefully) marks the apparent end of Conservative's "grassroots" campaign. Update: Nope, it's back, and Gilbert's question still stands.
• Someone dies a senseless death. Schlafly makes political capital. Because dying while protecting your kid brother from armed assailants is a Hollywood value. UPDATE: While Andy basically blames the victim, Dan blames the actor's brother and TerryH blames... multiculturalism? Update: Dan stops channeling Andy and takes back his words.
• Because Sean Penn played a nitwit a quarter of a century ago, he must be a nitwit, right?
• Oh noes! Homeschoolers aren't allowed to enter an essay contest sponsored by Subway. Apparently, Subway believes that if you want to win $5000 of play equipment for your school and a Scholastic Gift Bastket (sic) for your home, you can't have that equipment shipped to a private address.
• Well, I guess some of us will be slitting our wrists soon. Question: how is someone a mass murderer when they only kill themself?
• The apocalypse is upon us!!
• Domestic violence is now an industry.
• Liberal Venom..... Really Andy? Have you ever looked at some of the Conservative comments on YouTube?|
• Trouble brewing in paradise the asylum? PJR calls Andy AGAIN. And again. And again.
• Andy creates his own reality, and then censors that too.
• Andy continues his crusade to make every conversation, and I mean every one, about school prayer.
• Opps.
• The article was subsequently re-categorized under "Ask your mother" UPDATE:

And in one swell foop, the Pregnancy article was reduced to the intellectual level of "How is babby formed?"*Flat-out lies aside, I was doing okay until I got to the last two sentences. Ed, you owe me a new irony meter.

• Q: How do you tell if someone from Tennessee is dumb? A: They went to school!
• LearnTogether's response to a(n) editor contributor's censorship on CP: "So what, I don't care. Go edit some articles."
• Once again, Andy repeats that the only reason for the Howard government in Australia falling was its endorsement of gun control, nine years and three elections beforehand. Clearly, there were no other issues outstanding that year.
• Global Warming, Ed Removes Political bias! [12] [13] [14]
• Conservapedia: We care about your foreskin. Not to mention the legions^[sic] in your genital region. UPDATE DanH clues in, 24 hours later.Way to go, Dan...
• Austin Cline when he is presented with material from the Conservapedia atheism article. Ken's gone off his meds again. And his quest for indiscriminate attention from more popular sites continues.
• If you profess faith in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and the FSM has the attributes of God, that belief will become belief in God except with long noodly appendages.[15]
• "Look! Up in the sky!" "It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "It's a new Conservative Value!" (Wait... to Andy, personal experience is an "obstacle" to truth?)
• Hold on a second, Crocoite DeanS! Wasn't your boss just rooting for Hillary?
• "Teacher! Teacher! I done did my homewerks!". "Oh, whos a verrrry good boy?! Here, have a cookie".
• DanH thinks girly bits are yucky. A classic closet case?
• Doing this can lead to this if you don't do this.
• Suddenly, (and eight+ years later), conservatives, begin to understand.
• I hate to break it to you, Andy, but TL;DR is not the response of a fine educator.
• Apparently, all CP sysops hold degrees in encyclopedia sciences. If such a thing exists. (Even Karajou admits it doesn't. And now the major question: Do you believe PJR, who claims that every editor may decide what is encyclopedic, or Karajou, who has a banhammer and views contrary to PJR's?) UPDATE No one decides what is encyclopedic. UPDATE 2 - an example of an Encyclopedia Scientist at work.
• According to Andy, Conservatives don't rely on polling data. Nope, not even a little.
• Goat is protected after the myriad of vandalism, much like Freedom777's "prone to vandalism" protections. Paranoia knows no bounds!
• What do you do when you get owned so hard that your ears ring? Delete the evidence.
• One for the theory geeks. CP tries an entry about Foucault and gets it oh, so wrong.
• An old edit, but seeing as Ted is making the news, you'd think their article should have correct information (and include a references tag so you can actually see the PBS article (which has the wrong year of Ted's graduation)). Had Andy done a little more research on his own Alma Mater he'd get it right.
• Lyin' Ed Moon has an odd idea of notable, as he deletes an article on the story involved in one of the most significant events of this century.
• Oh noes! Facts! A new user proposes some imperfect but specific examples to explore Andy's Hollywood breast cancer mystery, which are, if nothing else, better than figures pulled out of his ass. It's early to say, but it looks like it might not help his case. Only one thing to do: Bring in The Cleaner, revert and banninate! Anything to save Andy from having to defend his retarded notions. UPDATE- the bait is thrown out again, and for some inexplicable reason this time, the fish find it tasty.
• Andy, your estimates might be off by a few orders of magnitude.
• Breaking: Aziraphale throws down! How much will Andy dismiss? All of it, like usual? (Image backup, just in case) Update: If Andy's reply doesn't creep you out, nothing will.
• Andy apparently tries his hand at editing blindfolded, with mixed results. Whoops, didn't see that before. Silly me.
• Parable: a short story illustrating a lesson. Conservative Parable: any random-ass story Andy decides to tell (lesson unnecessary as long as the story casts conservatives as victims optional).
• How long will it last, I wonder? Update: DLerner here, I removed it. Vandalism vandalised, the irony.
• Manson Family Values, no, you didn't misread.
• The master provides his audience with an encore, and at least one member of the audience shows his appreciation by pwning him.
• Well, Eddie, I guess your memory is a good source. And for God's sake, racism is a sin! Update: Danny thinks so... and Eddie concedes? Yep, "per DanH".
• Karajou's elegant prose captures a unique sense of "spluttering indignation". Truly we are in the presence of a master. Bravo!
• Is Aziraphale packing his bags?
• Mr Schlafly continues rewriting the past. Note: if you find yourself taking this spin seriously you should consider reading up on the events at Wikipedia. Of course, rigorously referenced fact can never compare to Andy's natural clairvoyance.
• Hypocrisy overload. Andy has discovered a new cardinal sin at CP: refusing to admit you're wrong (even if you're only asking a simple question). Andy, who has never admitted he was wrong about anything, takes this very seriously. Update: PWNED! Looks like Andy might have to eat one helping of his words or another. Update2: Why eat words when you can just move the goalpost instead.
• Bias? Or parody? Only time will tell.
• OK, this is tooo funny. Andy "I'm going to dismiss your points because of minor grammar and spelling issues" Schlafly posts a nominee to the Godspeeds and then proceeds to edit it two separate times without managing to catch two major mistakes. Many more kids should major in English. UPDATE: You're welcome, the bill will arrive within 3 Postal Business Days
• You know, Byron, Andy said that no one associated with CP may be nominated for an initial award. Idiot. Update: However, asking whether the mother of the site founder who links to CP from her organization's page is in any way associated with CP makes you a conspiracy theorist!
• Apparently, this is the best thing Phyllis Schlafly could growl.
• Indeed. Nor for any other reason, it seems.
• Panda95 developes an intriguing new hobby.
• Compassionate conservatism is alive and well at CP.
• Blinded by bias: A user called "Jesus4eva" inserts this gem into the Dawkins article... and the initial reaction of a sysop is simply "{{fact}}"
• Lezzbeyens - dose fat ladymen sittin' in dere Lazy Boys eatin' Twinkies should be playin' hopscotch wit de kidz! (snigger snigger mine is biggern yors). Ken's schoolboy imaginings of the world around him become ever more childish and bizarre (see Conservative's response to Beautyistruth).
• HermanH points out that Schlafly's pronouncement of the "media bullying" of Hillary (that she is being unfairly excluded even though she would be leading if Michigan and Florida's delegates were counted) is, in fact, demonstrably wrong. But it's okay, Schlafly "saw an analysis a few days ago", so we can take his entirely trusworthy word on the matter. And of course, no thanks to Herman for catching the front page's ten thousandth factual error. Gratitude is not a conservapedian value.
• Remember the #1 way Conservapedia differs from Wikipedia: at WP you lose the rights to your submissions, but not at CP! What's this? Someone wants to remove his work from CP? Work he still allegedly holds the copyright of? No dice! It belongs to CP now. UPDATE Looks like it wasn't even his material to begin with and is likely from well known and respected scholars, just to see how CP would react to it. Surprise Surprise:Pay no attention to that rant behind the curtain.
• WTF is ken on about? UPDATE Oh so that's it!
• LChriosa after several reasonable entries (by CP standards) looks around and finds that CP's a "hate site" and decides to remove his contribs. Unfortunately the guard dog catches him at it.
• Ah, yes. It isn't chance we live on a privilidged planet. Any chance of getting a spell checker Ken?
• Apparently we'll have to look at the atheism article for the rest of the year now.
• Given the current state of the Conservapedia Atheism article... this statement from Ken seems a little strange|
• More patented Schlafly circular reasoning: Evolution is bunk because randomness cannot create beauty.Examples in nature do not count because they cannot be random. Why not? Because, duh, randomness cannot create beauty.
• Ken takes control
• Ken has a proposal for Dan, but Dan is abstaining 'til marriage.
• Question. answer Translation: I'm gonna ignore this for several days, hope you forget about it and claim victory|
• Yeah, that's a scientific study Update: Conservative gives us his absolutely 250% fully coherent thoughts on the matter.
• Intellectual honesty, CP style: "We will stick to the claims we like, even when the same source published an updated statement that goes against our claim."
• Though he crucifies other people for small mistakes and it is petty to pick on Andy for his typos , this error is pretty funny. Especially since he is chiding some poor schmuck while he is at it. Most would call it a Freudian slip, but he doesn't believe in them.
• Psst, Andy... Just so you know, The Simpsons did not replace these shows It premiered before about half of them... join the Late eighties would you?|
• All the best former gay porn stars writers write on pajamas media blogs UPDATE: Look at that... seems like Matt Sanchez and Andy have something in common - and it has nothing to do with gay porn, _{as far as we know}.
• The door to future self-congratulations opens a crack, as Andy improves the criteria for winning a Ronny award by only excluding CP contributors in the initial round.
• Proof positive that anything can have liberal-evolutionist bias (which CP aims to purge): Andy Young-Earthifies the "Painting" article. Pre-Update(?)JM throws Fox under the bus for the original information.
• Really Andy? "Most of students?" and you have the nerve to call yourself an educator?|
• TerryH, who has at times seemed like one of the saner ones, joins his friends in Loonyville, stating that Fox News is not the mainstream media because MSM has its own definition he pulled out of his ass. UPDATE: A soon to be blocked user breaks it down for TerryH WANT MORE? Terry decides he likes the ass version too much to let it go
• Homeschooling in action: TV is 250% evil!
• While both are technically correct are two entries really necessary?
• Ken has an imaginary friend! Apparently Ken also enjoys talking to himself...knowing full well that Hoji can't respond.
• A change of pace for Conservapedia? Suddenly having a largely defensive weapon of gun is not a good thing any more.
• TerryH doesn't understand fiction.
• But, doesn't that make Jesus guilty of "last wordism"? Update: No, it doesn't - it makes God guilty of it. (Although you could argue that's the same - Trinity and all...)
• Andy reveals another disadvantage of homeschooling.
• Andy thinks that the democratic primary is an example of "liberals complaining about other liberals" [16]Perhaps we should cut it out and just let candidates buy the primaries. Perhaps Andy could have won his ill fated congressional campaign then
• Andy: Wikipedia is satan and you should never use it
  Delilah: Yes. Now let's abuse it for SEO
  Delilah: They've deleted it as an abuse of their resources
  Andy: Liberal scoundrels![17]
• "Dear Andy, your 'Endogen' article is too abstruse/obtuse to be useful so please rewrite it. Signed, Ed Poor"
• As a professional lawyer, you'd think Andy would understand burden of proof, perhaps?
• Smallest conspiracy ever?
• Is Deborah really so slow that she welcomes new user Kevinmyarse without a qualm?
• Andy leans down from his cloud and smites FernoKlump for his highly inappropriate signature. Yes, it's just awful, Andy.
• Never mind the Oscars - it's time for the Andys.
• Bullying = You caught me copy-pasting from Wikipedia. Update: JM's having a really bad day: How many people does he have to block before they realize that nobody is allowed to remove the non-painting from the "Painting" article?
