• All-time classics worth preserving for eternity should be removed from this page and entered at Best of Conservapedia.
• Much of the insanity relates to users foolishly thinking they can add sane material, or, worse yet, argue with the powers that be. They are usually banned quickly, and often in fascinating ways. See Conservapedia:Banwatch for articles of this sort.

What is going on?

• Yet another edit war!
• A user brings up Andy's habit of changing the subject when he is getting his butt whipped in debate. [1] Maybe Andy will reply with some Schlafly Statistics! [2]
• C'mon Rob, tell us how you really feel. UPDATE: Rationalwiki, a site to be "erased from the memory of man, for all time". Damnatio Memoriae!!!
• Andy Schlafly deletes Ed Poor's bit of racist drivel, prompting Ed to fall into line, telling Andy to thank RationalWiki members for catching it.
• Conservative answers just a little bit late.
• Conservapedia isn't like Wikipedia and all their guilt by association, nosir!
• Resident bigot and SS-wannabe Ed Poor thinks homosexuals should be locked up in prison or an insane asylum. Update: Repentance, Senator Poor! So his comment should have been "If homosexual behavior is due to your being crazy (as in kleptomania), you should bear the guilt in an insane asylum. If it's due to your wilfull defiance of what is right, you should bear the guilt in a prison." So much better!
• TK finally loses it
• Pertinent facts about Leon Trotsky? It's a comic strip. (And a comic strip that specifically cites "rumor" as a source.) Seems that removing bullshit is liberal, but they won't be fooled.
• Conservapedia's math articles rise to great heights MORE: Their approach to mathematics just gets curiouser and curiouser. It's hard to tell whether this is just their normal rampant ignorance and stupidity, or actual wandalism/parody. I vote for the latter—it's way too eloquent.
• Keeping the stupidity level high, Andy ponders this little thought. We are talking about a minor skin infection right? Not the Black Death. Also, it's comforting to know that Conservapedia, which we know never deals in anything resembling gossip, has a front page article about a scabies infestation in a college dorm.
• Justice Scalia: liberal.
• More infinite wisdom by RobS: a scabies outbreak in a dormitory, and the solution is co-ed dorms. It makes no sense, except if you accuse liberals of it. Now it makes perfect sense!
• All liberals are close-minded and intolerant, but thankfully RobS finds evidence that Fred Phelps is a better man than the rest of the librulz.
• As if you needed evidence that Andy is a sheltered mama’s boy, here it is: He has never even heard of scabies.[3]
• A single edit impulses our favorite serial killer TK to reaffirm Conservapedia values, launch a terrifying threat and protect the page.
• What's the best article to make fun of Al Gore? How about orator Dan Quayle? NOT SO! It's the picture at the bottom of the page for professional bigot Fred Phelps.
• BREAKING NEWS!!!! You won't find this hidden in the liberal bias of Wikipedia!
• Another unreferenced cut and paste bit of plagiarism from Assfly.
• An oldie but a goody: check out the edit summary, Poor Ed hates the Jews, too. But we already knew that, didn't we?
• The irony makes the baby Jesus cry.
• Goddamn does Conservative get excited easily. But it never leads to anything. It is merely offered up whenever his fat is in the frying pan, to get out of whatever trouble he is in. Doesn't anyone at CP realize this? Update: The nightly lockdown ends, and both ends of the spectrum instantly come crashing down on Conservative.
• One might think this would be a lot bigger considering it's used as a litmus test for just about everything under the sun.
• Maybe it's fowl language? Honestly, maybe the guy was just a Top Gun fan. Then again, maybe BethanyS is with the "Name Police"?
• Whoever would have thought it, TK sees the light
• Wait...did TK just compare Andy to a young child? (Either Andy or Conservative at least - both use the article as their preaching platform)
• The truth? DanH can't handle the truth!
• Its official! In spite of the millions that died in the trenches during WWI, the buthchery of Rwanda and Kosovo, the rape of Nanjing and the whole Japanese invasion of China, WWII, the battle of Leningrad, the Crusades, etc. etc. etc. The American Civil War, was the worst war ever fought because a whole bunch of Americans died.(good old CP knows other nationalities don't matter.) Update TK slips in and fixes the problem, but doesnt leave an edit summary, hmmm, methinks he doesn't want others knowing he responds to RW criticism.
• Conservative inserts his own pet article into the Dawkins article. Is this the odor of deceit being smelt, waiting for the article to be protected later on, so his edits can go unchallenged as they are in Theory of Evolution? (Before: [4], [5], during the edit warring)
• Nothing terribly shocking or exciting here, just more evidence that Conservapedia editors write like sixth graders. I'm grading papers right now, and my worst D minuses are better than this.
• Andy's ongoing insanity about Richard Dawkins continues, generally making him look like a total idiot. But is he doing this for a reason, however insane? Maybe it's so he can extend his bogus criticism to all evolutionary scientists. Meanwhile, dishonest toady Poor Ed tries to save his Master by introducing new lies.
• "Wikipedia decline roughly coincides with the exposure by Conservapedia of its bias". What's next? Richard Dawkins did 9/11?
• Say Ed, why don't you just come out and say you hate black people?
• More evidence that TK is taking over CP? We report, you decide. It's interesting to note that Andy is becoming more and more a boogeyman that's invoked rather than an administrator who's taken seriously.
• Men are more masculine (manly), and women are more feminine. No kidding. In other news, Ed Poor is a sexist. Addendum Women have breasts for spiritual reasons?
• Wow it's like lightning!
• Fred Phelps - confirmed liberal. Why? Oh, he once supported Al Gore, 20 years ago.
• TK - knows that the Bible is factual!
• Aziraphale, you poor dear thing. You were such a cheerful editor, but you made one wrong move, and your efforts show for nothing. Will TK Godspeed to your rescue?! Update: Yes.
• TK, always polite, bunts into BethanyS talk page and answers a question for her. Then blocks the liar. Family-friendly encyclopedia my ass.
• Yeaaaahhh..."probably". Trusworthy just got a whole lot better!
• I about fell out of my chair on this one.... Wow
• So apparently correlation is causation - Wikipedia has been declining for 6 months, and Conservapedia has been "popular" for six months! Coincidence? Probably... yes.
• This has to be a new record in pointless editing. Kenservative creates an article on a magazine, then moves it two minutes later, citing "new name of journal". I know things move fast in publishing, but not that fast! For extra credit, Kenny boy is really bad at writing references.
• Jesus.
• Now I know Rob Smith isn't a real historian. He admits to using Little Green F*cktards as a source.
• The Liberals have taken over the Nobel Prize!
• TK, theologist and astronomer
• TerryH from CP, a.k.a. Temlakos on CreationWiki, spreads his hatred of us!
• It's comforting to know that some things never change. TK is being his usual, pleasant self.
• Philip Rayment makes it so hard to tell parody from what is (apparently) Biblical truth. Seriously, Phil?
• TK spots parody. Check it out.
• Remember, kids, page counts don't matter.
• ...and the universe collapsed on itself
• Oh, I'm sorry for this simple misunderBANNED!
• The night of long knives will commence soon, and Schultz is wagging his tail in anticipation.
• Nice knowin' ya, OurMike! Update OM survives for now, but one of Andy's loyal lapdogs anticipates his orders. Good boy!
• TK is a very, very special fellow. Indeed.
• Hold on to your socks! CP has disabled new account creation ([6], [7]) Well, that at least might explain why a March account was suddenly activated again... and, it makes it all the more apparent that CP is now, officially, Andrew Schlafly's private little blog, which must be walled off & insulated from opposing views so the strange viewpoints housed within may "prosper."
• Look at the pretty stars! And the pretty 3D letters! Pretty! And the pretty massacre on the talk page!
• Ed a liberal? Andy thinks he is, because he had to remove the liberal placement bias which was introduced by Ed.
• Ed poor says liberals are "pro-black," whatever that means. Does that mean that since conservatives have the opposite beliefs of liberals, that they are, by definition, "anti-black?" Whatever that means.
• Robert's complex question seems to be the new touchy subject. Ask about it, and you'll be banned over and over again.
• Deceit from Campeche?
• Crocoite makes sure the important news gets heard. 0H N0ES!!
• Tragedy in Cleveland. Time to put on our exploitation caps. UPDATE: Someone's on the right track But jump for joy, TK's here to explain it all. UPDATE: Thank you for contributing. You'll be banned any minute.
• RobS really needs to work on determining causation, especially since his conclusions don't account for the fundraiser at the time and, aren't really supported by the source
• Oh noes, Wikipedia is dying declining! There are only 7000 new users and 1500 new articles ...per day.
• Conservapedia reaches the epitome of hypocrisy. In following project guidelines an admin at WP locks the Richard Dawkins article after an extensive edit war ([8][9][10][11][12]) that he was not involved in asking its participants to take it to the talk page. Two such discussions take place [13][14] and the article is unlocked at the end of a mere three days which after the course of much discussion now has properly sourced criticism in its latest revision . So much for allegedly trying to censor a quote, and even if it was it is very superficial when compared to the permanently locked pages on CP which have received no edit warring or vandalism
• Is that deceit I smell coming from Kenservative? Last time I checked when you are QUOTING someone you are to use their exact words. But I guess Kenservative is known for embellishing a few quotes here and there.
• Oh, THAT explains it! So much for the other theories about why Conservative's been making so many articles on homosexuality recently. Also, Cons, once you read this, some links would be mighty convenient to back up those claims. Update: 10:00 PM, EST: Still no details forthcoming. Update: OH NOES. But, obviously, it will happen tomorrow right? Right?
• RobS gets philosophical, and concedes, for once, his intellectual shortcoming(s). Also, wha?
• Looking back at the numerous Ed Poor entries this week, it seems like he's trying to break some sort of idiocy record.
• Goat has been unprotected at Conservapedia since its deletion and "re-creation" today, to hide the surprisingly large page views the article was garnering... It was later deleted and recreated several times in the same day. Goats are apparently just too popular for CP to handle!
• Maybe its because of the language barrier, but can this be right? (Nope, that's not gossip, not at all!)
• Ed deserves no sympathy... although he does try really hard to keep his racism in check. And, remember, if Jesus were alive today, he'd spend his entire life making gay people feel badly about themselves, apparently. Ed's version of Jesus is one hateful fellow.
• Poor Ed. We give him a hard time, but he tries. He really does try. But for all his trying, he doesn't really seem to understand how condescending this edit summary sounds.
• Hey Rob, basic rule of thumb... When calling someone "incompetent," make sure you spell it correctly otherwise you just look stupid
• TK gives his own version of a Logical Response to a Question ..... Someone's been Chugging the Red Bull Again. (Bonus points for the completely out of place and nonsensical Wizard of Oz reference though)
• Two more editors discover that resistance really is futile: Jenkins in the "Bill Clinton and the Gay Bomb" discussion, and Ajkgordon in the discussion about Dawkins' credentials. Both discussions (should you somehow have missed them) are worth a look, if just to lose your faith in mankind.
• There have never been gay people in the military... not until Clinton became president anyway! UPDATE: Someone at CP has a cortex. Sadly, Rob had his surgically removed.
• Wow...When Karajou calls you stupid, well...there really aren't any words for it.
• You want the goat? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE GOAT!
• This. Is. The. Most. Fracking. Crazy. Thing. I. Have. Ever. Seen. Gay Bomb is crazy enough as it is, but to suggest that there's a government cover-up of it? RobS, you are one for the ages.
• Cage match! And this time, no killer robots! Just Dawkins v. Schlafly! Update: It gets even better!
• 69 kids got polio from the vaccine? Better de-vaccinate the billion people that have been spared the horrors of polio because of the vaccine!
• From the way these two act so closely, you'd think they'd support homosexuality. Buttseckz plz?
• Another professional cut-paste job by Andy (scroll to "Liberty Interest").
• Conservapedia is going to drop da bomb on 'em! "See also: Homophobia and Homosexual Agenda" - whu? Update: Finally! Rob conservapedifies the article and makes crucial connections. He can't possibly be serious, though, can he?
• Is this guy insane, or just a parodist? Either way, he's quickly embraced (Make my day!) by the village people... then meets the banhammer for being a parodist (and is subsequently unblocked), proving Poe's Law true once again.
• Oh Andy, you scamp! You're accused of dishonest debating, and how do you respond? By tossing around accusations of deceit, which you back up with even worse deceit! Oh, what hijinks will you get up to next?
• Conservative is obsessed with sexually transmitted diseases and teh gays !!! Or, (for conciseness), here.
• "Clarifying" apparently means that anything connected to Dawkins is bad and has no redeeming features.
• To celebrate their Faith entry having some Google rank, Andy reverts almost two months of work.
• This one you can understand, but this one will need an explanation.
• The trick paid cash, get in there and do your job boitch!
• TK uploads and posts an image of the anti-government protests in Burma. Strangely, though, said protest seems to be taking place in the midst of an anti-WTO riot in Seattle, Washington, USA... at least RobS is able to sniff out the deceit disinfo of it. TK somehow blames liberal deceit.
• Another small victory for RationalWiki and lib'ruls! Andy removes some of the most egregious parts of the Dawkins article, but says he's just "trimming" it. Deceitful? Nah.
• Homosexuality is apparently a choice, just like... racism. Poor Ed... no sense of irony. But on the plus side, Ed has finally shown his true feelings towards us "Negro's"
• Why do new people join CP? To contribute to the New Leading Site About {{subject of the week}}? Nope. Just to cry over Wikipedia deleting his project due to Notability rules. Update: OMG, Andy doesn't jump on it!
• The Professor has spoken!
• Wow, TK is a little touchy about this subject is isn't he? Maybe he just cares deeply.... Nope, he's just a Jackass
• Copy the article... and the pictures! And don't give the website, just put USGS! I love this contest!
• This little statement is, in short, everything that is wrong with America. After all, why talk reasonably about politics when you can just call someone a name and ignore them? On a side note, RSchlafly adds a comment to the discussion, so should you call him a liberal too, SSchultz? Update - Edit war and protected. Bannings will probably soon follow.
• Just because he votes like a conservative, doesn't mean that Pete Domenici is really a conservative.
• Andy, who is teaching a course on American Government, doesn't understand how the legislature reconciles disparate bills, but then claims they were never disparate in the first place.
• According to family-friendly Conservapedia, gays get a lot of hot action. Maybe I'll switch teams....
• My goodness gracious sakes! Someone has noticed the CP sysops' "burn the evidence" style of archiving the main talk page. I assume that, (and most other uncomfortable things), will be whitewashed before the next burning archiving. Edit: Blocked and deleted less than an hour later!
• We'll have none of that here!
• I wonder how much more Andy can bugger the truth before Richard Dawkins is in a position to sue his ass off.
• Rush Limbaugh is ALWAYS RIGHT...... If he attacked soldiers, they deserved it. Update: Look, I think it's trying to say something. Go on, TK. What is it about the fake soldiers you want emphasized?
• Oh noes! Did TK's CAPS LOCK BUTTON GET STUCK?
• Obviously, retroactive application doesn't exist in the netherrealm that is TK's Brain Update: Looks like someone is paying attention, even if not actually learning anything.
• TK made a funny. I thought that this had something to do with the Little Mermaid, but then I quickly figured it out. TK, it's "aerial". Update: TK apparently doesn't know how to use a dictionary. Has this gone past funny into the realm of tragic?
• Wow! How is Professor Andy ever going to get out of this one? I'm betting on: Block, Delete, Whitewash. Curiously, none of the goons have done so yet. Looks like Andy'll have to soil his own hands. Update TK tries entrapment instead, but someone sees through the ploy. Better luck next time.
• Check out some of Learn Together's "quality" entries, the reworking of this section was so well done you could hardly notice the difference, and he gave himself 8 points in the team contest for this! Methinks this page is rampant with deceit
• Not satisfied with the New Ordeal, RobS coins a new term for an old event that generates a total of seven Google hits - five of them being Conservapedia, and that only because it spams Google with three domain names (Conservapedia, Conservepedia, Conservpedia).
• TK has a problem
• Over-reliance on Mockery .... Number 12 methinks (The real comment on the left)
• This is definitely 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! Update 3: Looks like TK has decided Gay Bowel Syndrome is going to stay! Hooray TK!
• 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 [15] 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 [16]
• 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.[17]
• 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 [18] (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?
