• All-time classics worth preserving for eternity should be removed from this page and entered at Best of Conservapedia.

What is going on?

• Over-reliance on Mockery .... Number 12 methinks (The real comment on the left)
• This is definately an article that no online encyclopedia should be without. Update Leave it to the anally-obsessed Kenservative (makes you go hmm, don't it?) to choose a first reference that disagrees with his premise. Update 2: Off to AFD with you!
• Most of Wikipedia's article are useless trivia. But when conservapedia does it, it's just fine.
• TK has got to learn to read diffs. He's been removing a talk page comment saying it wasn't by Maestro but by an impostor who signed his name even though the edit is clearly by Maestro.
• According to TK, it's other people's job to find sources for the ridiculous statements he makes.
• RobS blocks a vandal, which is all well and good. Except that the block reason is "racist troll". The troll part is fair enough, but not a single edit by that user is actually racist. Between him, Kenservative and Poor Ed, does anyone over there actually know what racist means?
• The wheel - man's first attempt at defying God(?!).
• TK adds an image of Al Gore and two users are quick to reply [1] about it. TK reverts the edits (claiming a conflict) and then locks it from any further common sense. Trustworthy, indeed!
• The first rule of Conservative Deceit: You don't talk about Conservative Deceit. (Liberal Deceit is cool, though.)
• Did they release some sort of happy-gas on CP? TK and Jenkins are having WAY too much fun right now.
• Everyone remember Johnny Two Times from Goodfellas, the guy who said everything twice? Well, Conservapedia has its own version, only this one doesn't understand punctuation.
• Jenkins is back! And he's not pulling any punches. Of course, his critique of CP's google results and his mention of our lovely site were not allowed to remain for long. 9 minutes, in fact. How long before the hammer comes down for good?
• TK once again shows his incompetence in archiving the Talk:Main page, even after it was called to his attention in the past. Update: Maybe he really is incompetent.
• Chernobyl wasn't an environmental disaster - that's just more liberal hype! (Also, Ed Poor can't count)
• Oh no! Conservapedia's "Goat" article became too popular! Better nuke it! Now, as a sidenote, perhaps someone's been artificially inflating page views on like articles? Perhaps this site isn't actually growing rapidly?
• DeborahB inspires a new generation of cut-and-pasters!
• Acknowledged parodist, Conservateur, is blocked by TK, and by a STARTLING COINCIDENCE, it comes just after RW members take note of CP's very unusual leniency towards him, and even approval by Andy. Something to make you go hmmm...
• A Liberal makes a change to the Deceit article (my god! It's not protected?). Is there any chance Andy will let it stand? Note that the statement about who might practice deceit more, liberals or conservatives, now has a citation, although it is to CP's article on "liberal". Update: of course, TK had to "clarify" it, but the source for this egregious statement remains a Conservapedia article.
• And the lord giveth and taketh away. Wonder why, because JoshuaZ's last edit was Aug 5th. Perhaps it had something to do with inserting reason and rationality into CP articles?
• Once again, a "Breaking News" item goes completely against what the linked source actually says. Once again, the sysops make shit up and try to drag the discussion away from the issue at hand.
• A nice gentleman came along and expressed concern over a certain picture on a certain user page. He was then, of course, banned.
• A very liberal entry on Pat McHenry... deleted after three hours, 23 minutes it was posted. SysOps aren't working hard enough, Ms. Schlafly!
• I can't wait either [2]
• Thanks to TK's Manual of Style changes requiring title case for articles, CP contest participants can now get points for re-copying-and-pasting articles in title case that they copied in normal case for the previous contest. See Quorum call vs Quorum Call, Presidential signature vs Presidential Signature, etc. in the United States Senate Terms category.
• We're fairly sure that Conservateur is a parodist... right?
• X does not exist.^{[Citation Needed]} Removed liberal "citation needed" insert - not necessary to prove something does not exist.[3]
• User Conservative can spell the word 'quixotic' but not 'color.'
• RobS's quirky mental problem (the one that makes it impossible for him to stay on topic, and forces him to bring completely irrelevant information into any discussion) strikes again, this time bringing domestic abuse among homosexuals (and Hillary's poll numbers) into a discussion on whether there is a relation between violence in schools and lack of prayer. Update: He is now bringing up Wicca in a discussion of migration of birds.
• Well, well, well, look what we got here. Seems that Andy does not mind when others copy from Wikipedia unless it is against his ideology. Wikipedia article.
• Proof that Maestro is a liberal.
• The CP soap opera continues, as TK calls Ed a "crank" and removes his criticism of the Global Warming article. Apparently even criticizing articles that other sysops had a hand in writing falls under TK's 11th Commandment.
• Almost having run out of targets, Ed decides to challenge his fellow sysops by calling the "Global Warming" article a mess and suggesting its deletion. Good: The thing's been locked since June, and look at the muppets that have been editing it over the past couple of months.
• Can someone explain the burka picture near the bottom of Ken's user page. It seems to be a bad attempt at a joke saying that Darwin was an atheist, but the picture clearly shows three Muslims... Is this just another show of ignorance on his part, or is it blatant racism (implying that Islam is not a true religion)...? Update we did it, after being up for over a month the image and offensive caption are finally gone. Unfortunately Ken's sense of humor has not improved, and he continues to resort to ridiculing opponents with false claims rather than actually trying to understand the merits of their arguments [4] (the original quotation still remains here)
• Thank heaven for small victories. See the WIGO entry three below this one.
• The content is a little dry, but this entry by Poor Ed is a masterpiece of slow reaction times. Also, directing a message to someone who was unjustly blocked months ago? Seriously, if you want a conversation, you're welcome to come here.
• Breaking news: Wikipedia blocks Ed "The Saint" Poor! And to show how "breaking" those news are: By the time Andy writes a sob story about it, the block has already been lifted. Update: Being the saintly soul he is, Ed is quite forgiving on WP and assumes good faith, while talking out the other side of his mouth on CP. You're an inspiration to us all, Ed! Update 2: Ed whines about the blocking sysop not apologizing, and Andy promptly echoes it. Maybe a bad time to mention that "silly demands for apologies" are liberal style...
• Apparently, when you block, devalue, and ignore all criticism, you can create for yourself a happy little world where your idiotic ramblings are "unassailable." There is a point where ignorance becomes more than willful blindness, and subsumes with self-aggrandizement, to become sheer stupidity. That point is referred to, in theoretical physics, as the Ken DeMyer point.
• Because only Christians are altruistic. Not Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, or atheists. Only Christians.
• Finally someone stands up for common sense and decency. Wonder how long until they get blocked
• Selective reading for great justice. Potentially tripping over semantics is now lying, even after clarification to show that it wasn't meant to be an attack. Update: WHAT - THE - *bleep*
• Aschlafly leaps like a starving weasel on the one sentence in a two page long article that vaguely supports his viewpoint safe in the knowledge that none of his cronies will actually read the text behind the paywall. In reality the article is a testament to man's ability to radically alter his environment.
• Don't remind Conservative of the "loving God" thing... it gets awkward.
• Okay, this one has me stumped. Update - even after being "desatirized," it still makes Conservapedians and YECs look like the morons they are.
• The Kosovo conflict was an easy war. "Says Who?" you might ask. Aslfilyfy, that's who. Also, does anyone know what the hell an "easy war" is?
• Wait, What?!? Update: TK drastically improves CP (and lowers the Lulz ratio) by deleting the article.
• Return of the "concise" (read: "factually wrong") headlines: "France ready to join NATO" - and don't bother us with facts, yo!
• Potential soon-to-be-sysop Tash vandalized RationalWiki! The IP has been confirmed to be Tash's. Do we care? No, not really... it just makes the whole, "only liberals practice deceit" thing ring a little more hollow. I wonder if Rob is going to fiddle this troll, or call the FBI?
