The "up/down" (click on the green and red arrows!) voting is preserved after archiving and is used by the Best of Conservapedia page to allow people to find the highest quality lulz from our many entries.[1]
Add new contributions to the top of this list, and copy the formatting carefully so the polls work properly. Each new entry gets an ID number one higher than the previous one.
Please check older entries to avoid duplication - especially if you see something that's been going on for hours - there's a good chance that someone else has seen it and added it already.
Do not remove items from the list unless you believe they are legally slanderous or otherwise likely to be "detrimental to RationalWiki". Comment out (<!-- WIGO-->) an item if you think it's really an issue. If you think an item is not worthwhile, just vote it down - "one man's boredom is another man's lulz".
Caveat: Due to conservative deceit, some page links from this page to Conservapedia may be broken. To help combat this, WIGO items from late September 2008 on have their links to CP automatically uploaded as images to RW. If a link is down, click the img link to see what it was. Also, anyone not wanting to go to CP can use this to see what everyone is talking about.

| 5 | No more than a few hours after receiving MOAR POWER (Check user), TK immediately starts to bully other administrators. Some great statements in the section already: TK starts off the section with "CP has an owner, it is his absolute right to have whatever viewpoint he wants" and later hints that, as an administrator, means total agreement with Andy or else demotion should follow. Bugler helps by adding that "[Andy] is rightly the arbiter of what constitutes truth." |
|
| 15 | Blocking oneself to follow policy of recreating using first name and last initial to avoid hypocrisy, ideology, or abuse, is actually just like asking for equality in tests. |
|
| 11 | Joaquin Martinez blocks Phil Rayment. Phil's reaction is the same as mine: "Huh!?" |
|
| 8 | It's spot the difference time!!! According to Ed Poor, closing gaps in elementary subjects in maths isn't good enough. Instead, you have to write articles on elementary subjects in maths. |
|
| 15 | So much wrongness in just two posts by Bugler: Foxtrot is now considered to be a sysop, Bugler is in charge of the Abuse Helpdesk, and abuse tickets are handled by means of "Stop complaining and get back to work, scum!" |
|
| 18 | Consider this: the very definition of "stupidity" is doing something twice, and expecting it to be different the second time. But, like the mouse taking a second bite at the electrified pellet, Andy welcomed TK back into the brotherhood of the banhammer. How many cheeks does this man have left to turn? |
[edit] End EZ edit section
|
| 4 | The Ed Poor method: start an article, then ask yourself to expand it. |
|
| 28 | Ken fell asleep on the period key. |
|
| 29 | Ed's obsession with censoring information he doesn't like meets CP's great consensus system (a.k.a. "I have the banhammer, so I decide what consensus is."): Ed: "I don't like this movie. Let's merge it into obscurity." - Others: "Mh... maybe? Maybe not?" - Ed: "Nobody merges it, so I shall reduce it to a stub without merging the information anywhere." Which prompts others do some damage control with the result that Ed's merge "suggestion" went through anyway. Tangential update: "Needs moar scarlet letter!" |
|
| 1 | Greed is bad. A pity that they didn't tell us that sooner. |
|
| 24 | Oh joy: Little by little, TK is working his way towards full power again. (And before anybody asks: Siteadmin = Can lock database) UPDATE: The stupid, it burns! Andy decides to drag in the wooden horse. |
|
| 26 | Conservapedia reaches new heights of idiocy, as Dean discusses "the Obama Caliphate". Just got harder to tell reality from parody... and now TK calls Tim a "liberal" for changing it. |
|
| -23 |
Ominous signs... America gets a black President, and Conservapedia gets an article on who succeeds him when he's |
|
| 10 | "Conservapedia: We rip off your balls and then wish you a nice day!" Case in point: ChrisC gets banned and then welcomed. |
|
| 24 | Ed's writing class lasted a little over one week. In other words, it didn't happen. |
|
| 17 | TK: "Don't question the admins. img Unless you're me." img |
|
| 11 | Why is TK trying to img delete img the "donut" article? Answer: because CP's donut article was a "prop" in a mock edit war img staged in 2007 to satirize Conservapedia's ideological blocking policy. |
|
| 18 | Ed Poor slips in a Parthian shot against Fox... by turning his user page into a piece of revisionist history. img Fox didn't block himself & retire:, no, he was "blocked repeatedly for violating Conservapedia's mild and tolerant policies." Wow, Ed. Just wow. Update: Helpjazz tries, futiley, to get Ed to stop slandering the departed img. Update 2: guess where TK stands img on the issue? Update 3: We'll never know now, because CPAdmin1 has done a deep burn. |
|
| 3 | Ken has decided img that on CP, Creation Ministries International (2,500+ views) is now more popular than that bloke who once wanted to win some election (550,000+ views). Update: False alarm, Ken just still doesn't know img what the Preview button is there for. (Cue two dozen more edits...) |
|
| 12 | Per Bungler: img not only is Phil Rayment a lib'rul, he's a lonely lib'rul. And so are the other admins...? |
|
| 3 | A cult img of liberals were hating on Rick Santorum. |
|
| 35 | GLOVE SLAP: POOR BLOCKS RAYMENT ("TALK TALK TALK")! That would be Drudge's headline, for this. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED: SPECIAL ED'S BLOCK IS "INVALID." |
|
| 15 | "Fundamentalism" is only an anti-Christian pejorative term img. Not only that; shouldn't the "lie-for-all" media also use that term for Islam[1][2], right? |
|
| 21 | Leave it to Bohdan to ruin our fun. After Bungler launches in to a tirade about "liberal admins," Bohdan just has to call him out. Has Bungler gone too far? Only time will tell. Nota bene: Bohdan invoked MexMax as a tale of what could come to pass if the parodists go unchallenged. But MexMax is very different from Bungler. For one, MexMax was not a douche. He was just well-acted. More: LowKey calls Bugler's bluff img, and promptly receives a 3 month block, to which HenryS promptly unblocks him. |
|
| 16 | Foxtrot emulates img Ed Poor. Two editors down... AlanS takes it to the abuse desk, receiving a 2-hour block which is shortly undone. Danger: Andy now talks about maths, too, not a pretty img sight img... Update: As the talk page turns into a fittingly weird discussion (Foxtrot insists that removing wrong information is bad), Andy actually agrees to unblock one of the editors with some knowledge! Update: To make up for one of his blocks being reverted, Foxtrot finally blocks AlanS. |
|
| 7 | Ed starts liveblog #3, on a movie about race relations! I wonder what insights the Glorious Leader of the Moonie Church, speaking through Ed, can add to the problem of racism in America? |
|
| 18 | A Hitler for All Seasons!!! img Ken's apparently treating his front-page Hitler picture like a dress up doll. Today's the Harvest Festival costume! |
|
| -2 | Pretending to be a teenage boy so you can drive your daughter's depressed-and-suicidal rival towards hanging herself? Creating a sock to argue with Andy? Same thing! img You have been warned... |
|
| 13 | Crivvens! Ed displays sensitivity to Scottish popular culture img. Whit would P.C. Murdoch have tae say? |
|
| 44 | Ed reverts img NeilEG's only contribution and blocks him for inserting nonsense. Should be very amusing to Brits. Neil's edit was 100% accurate More: Ed reverts the edit img that tells him of his mistake. |
|
| 32 | Fox: "I'm packing img my bags and never coming back. I've had enough of your anti-semtism img". WARNING: Disable irony meter now! Ed: "Good riddance, ya poor little jewboy. img We don't memory hole talk pages img." |
|
| 10 | Armageddon must be at hand: Ken's removed img a Hitler pic. |
|
| 64 | Step right up folks! All your favorite Schlaflyisms in one place! img. Hear the "You're Clueless!", Gasp at the denigration of Obama, laugh at the hilarious typos, be shocked at the offensive anti-British sign off!! |
|
| 9 | Dean joins Conservative img in Godwin 101. |
|
| 18 | Just another day at the office: Proving Andy wrong and mentioning his brother; A fairly run of the mill revert and block follows... |
|
| 21 | Liberals are obsessed with Homosexuality! so are conservatives img! Oh no they're not img! Oh yes they are img! Oh no they're not img! ... |
|
| 14 | Uh-oh... Eight months after stripping TK of his rights, Andy (who clearly has the attention span of a gnat) starts giving 'em back. |
|
| 25 | That's how it always is with the Sith: One master img, one apprentice img. Feel img the img power img of the Dark Side! |
|
| 73 | Bigger. img BIGGER! img BIGGER!!!! imgBIGGER!!!!!!11!!1 img Oh, God, yes---BIGGER!!1!11!!11 img |
|
| 11 | Oh, I get it Ed. Silo had sex with a female, so he's ex img-gay. No doubt the result of penguin reparative therapy. |
|
| 9 | Now img it's EDitor in chief Poor! |
|
| 13 | Conservapedia: Ideological blocking img? This, this, this, this, and this one is especially valid, since the user was unblocked all three times. This will be fun to watch. Irony: After making the article, this block too, which is 80/20 and not 90/10. More: Ed unblocks Dinsdale... coincidence? |
|
| 18 | Only biased liberals img think that it's bigoted & wrong to bomb abortion clinics. |
|
| 4 | More logic from Conservapedia: If someone says "n****r" img on the radio and the censors jump on them, they are politically-correct moonbats bent on the destruction of American culture. But if someone says "f***" img on the radio and the censors don't jump, they are politically-correct moonbats, etc. |
|
| 37 | Andy finally replies to Phil's glove slap img... by referring to his "inappropriate bolding," img and making the same damn arguments for the 18th time. Phil may be learning that you can't argue with a brick wall. Update: TK insists, Phil is a liberal. img Maybe Phil could've won this fight if it were just him against Andy - but throw in Bungler, and TK in Super-Mecha-Brown-Nosing Mode, and it's a hopeless fight. Update #2: TK accuses Phil of "lib'rul deceit," in almost as many words, while calling Andy a "trusted friend" with whom he has only healthy disagreements (forget that whole SDG thing). |
|
| 55 | I know your name can't be "Lisa" because, um...well...never mind. Banned. So img much img stupid, img so img little img time. (Note: (account creation disabled) blocks the user's IP, so she can't recreate anyway) |
|
| 7 | Remember how Ed claimed to consider himself a Muslim? img He's still working on it. img |
|
| 40 | MOAR ED: Classic needless information removal. img And the ignorance shall set you free! |
|
| 17 | Liveblog #2: My Girl! Get your popcorn...UPDATE: She hemorrhaging img. |
|
| 11 | Distort D'Newsa's scientific method: Find a couple of "scientists" who think God is on the other end of the proverbial telephone, make a lot of noise about how science has admitted there's a God img, watch your cheerleading squad go berserk! |
|
| -6 | Bugler about to out himself img...? "Entryism" indeed! We watch with baited breath... |
|
| 50 | Phil rushes towards a constitutional crisis img by yelling at Andy. Who's excited? Tomorrow we get to see whether Andy's need to be debilitatingly douchey trumps his need for productive editors. Barkeep - $5,000 on "yes." Update: Andy made over 100 edits - including three reverts of Phil's comments - since this moronic comment img which made Phil to ask for an apology. But the great leader didn't answer to one of Phil's pleas for more than three days - and counting... |
|
| 25 | Operation Bugler Über Alles proceeds apace: Calling Bugler a cancer on Conservapedia gets you a three-month forced sabbatical and a snarky edit to your user page. img Seriously, if Bugler is a parodist bent on destroying CP by setting editor against editor, he could scarcely be doing a better job of it. Update: Foxtrot regrets his snark, img and blocks himself for an hour, which is totally on par with the three-month block he gave Ferno for using Bugler's own words against him. Totally fair. |
|
| 47 | The Australian Revolution explodes! Philip reverts teh Assfly on the Obama nonsense img... and the Assfly counterattacks img. But the Australians are tough people. img Go Philip, go!!!!1Update: That information is unfounded, but founded... got it? img Update 2: Phil meets TK in holy battle on Andy's talk page. img Moar Has Ed's personal protection of Bungler ever been MORE FREAKIN' OBVIOUS img? |
|
| 19 | Kick off two img articles img simultaneously, place the image in the wrong one, get blocked for three months - welcome to Conservapedia. Rarity! Foxtrot acts as if he didn't do the blocking img and rectifies this injustice. |
|
| 8 | Perfick, just perfick img. |
|
| 19 | Up is down. Suddenly CP is opposing img tax cuts. Too bad they weren't so cautious earlier. |
|
| 2 | It had to happen - after "Do as I say, not as I do" comes "Actually, don't do as I say, either": DeanS gives instructions, a user follows img them... and is reverted img and blocked. |
|
| 25 | The Conservapedia Day Awards roll out... and Ken thinks it's all about him and whatever he did yesterday. Update Ed, you already won the Biggest Idiot award, you can stop campaigning img now. |
|
| 14 | Conservative loves Richard Dawkins so much, he put the same Dawkins quote in two img places img on the home page: "What’s to prevent us from saying Hitler wasn’t right? I mean, that is a genuinely difficult question." He thinks Dawkins is saying that Hitler was right. Obviously he never bothered to read the rest of the quote: "But whatever [defines morality], it’s not the Bible. If it was, we’d be stoning people for breaking the Sabbath." If we point out the mistake, d'you think K e n D o l l will issue a retraction? MOAR: Conservative decides he's giving the Dawkins article a little too much publicity, and decides to dewikify img one of the links to it. |
|
| 14 | What do those abused women know, it could just be a syndrome img for all we know. Oh, that img explains it... |
|
| 29 | It's a fine line between parody and serious nutjob: While Andy implicitly approved img of this essay, Fox says img it's parody. This one might be fun... OH YES! It's deleted - and undeleted! And Fox is blox'd by, of course, the serial anti-Semite himself, Uncy Ed! Fox rox: Bam, bitch! img |
|
| 29 | If Unca Ed dislikes your subject img, you'd best not write about her. Update: AlanS wasn't img too happy img with Ed nuking his contribs (twice) img - with predictable consequences. Injury, meet Insult: The protest posts vanish img into the memoryhole. img Update: Jpatt (the guy who wrote the other half of the article) is also img slightly pissed off. Updater Gee, Ed, your casual attitude img would be a lot more convincing if you hadn't already blocked a guy for suggesting the same damn thing. - Not that that prevents Ed from vaping half the article img again... |
|
| 17 | Andy's contributions to the great non-event which was Conservapedia Day: five reverts and one thank you. |
|
| 41 |
Displaying his stunning insight in to people of other cultures, Andy blocks a user with a relatively common Indian name telling him to come back with his real first name and last initial. After all, all those Indian guys on the end of the phone are called Dave and Bob.... |
|
| 5 | Say what? Uncle Ed offers TK a nice, hot cup of STFU! img |
|
| 0 | Yeah, ask a legal question from a Schlafly img that might actually know what the hell he's talking about. |
|
| 12 | Oh my img. In a blistering stream of consciousness, TK reclaims the right to ad hom for American conservatism! Worse yet, DeanS suggests img that TK use his new insights to expand CP's ad hom article! |
|
| 14 | I'm sure this img has something to do with homosexuality. Right? Update: Ahh, now it does. img |
|
| 35 | Well what do you know - "Major developments" did happen in relation to Conservapedia's evolution article, as I.D. leader William Dembski actually shows some intelligence and removes his former recommendation for it. Happy Conservapedia Day, Ken! Update: Ken clarifies that Uncommon Descent only featured the CP articles because he asked Dembski nicely and that the new guy in charge is apparently trying to avoid linking to his idiotic rants. |
