Essay talk:The Conservapedia RationalWiki War

This should be in either the conservapedia or the essay namespace... ħuman 14:17, 23 November 2008 (EST)

This was chucked out of WikiIndex, so PC brought it here. JazzMan 17:16, 23 November 2008 (EST)

I initially thought maybe it should go on RWW, in that it's sortof 'about RationalWiki', but actually most of it is just criticisms of Conservapedia, so should probably go in CP namespace. Could possibly be merged into one of the existing articles about CP? weaseLOId~ 17:54, 23 November 2008 (EST)

How about the cp namespace (or essay....) with a note at the top saying where it came from and why? Essay might make sense, as I suspect it's a one-author piece, and we might prefer to "store it unedited"? I suspect at the CP namespace I'd be arguing for its deletion as useless and repetitive... ħuman 18:30, 23 November 2008 (EST)

As would I. And I agree that it should be moved to the essayspace. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 23:52, 23 November 2008 (EST)

Many authors wrote it. Gulik wrote a great deal and so did I. Proxima Centauri 03:01, 24 November 2008 (EST)

It's a good summation. We should do something constructive with it.--Tom Moore^{fiat justitia ruat coelum} 03:58, 24 November 2008 (EST)

I'm happy with improvements. On Wikiindex this was meant to be something that's not too long so users won't get bored before they finish reading. It's still linked there so I hope Wikiindex users will come here and read it. The Conservapedia article is protected to prevent Conservapedians removing the links. If Conservapedians start edit warring again after protection expires I'm quite happpy to protect it again. I feel I compromised enough when I deleted this article on Wikiindex. I'm not compromising further willingly.

Perhaps we can have a longer article or essay with a different title and keep this one fairly short. If you change the name again I will have to go back to Wikiindex and change the links there. If you can think up a new title that's worth the extra work I don't mind. Proxima Centauri 04:09, 24 November 2008 (EST)

This article is obviously pretty accurate, the only problem is that it's really "Why RW doesn't like CP". Ok, it talks a bit about blocks and stuff, but most of it is about what's wrong with CP. I don't really think it should be in essay. Personally I think it should be in the CP space editable by everybody. Or perhaps in RWW. I know it's mostly about CP, but an explanation of why RW has such a downer on CP might be appropriate in RWW. --Bob^{bing up} 05:37, 24 November 2008 (EST)

What's the status of the authorship, now that this is an essay? weaseLOId~ 19:50, 24 November 2008 (EST)

How do we win the war? --"ConservapediaUndergroundResistor^{is Fall Sideways} 14:12, 9 January 2009 (EST)
