Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please remember to observe our core policies. --John (talk) 00:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Here's the text:

Conservapedia is conservatism to the extreme, claiming wikipedia to be bias, when they themselves are completely bias against liberals. They often give false and inaccurate information about democratic presidents, while glorifying republican presidents without any regards to all the problems we as a nation have experienced because of them, such as in Bush's "war on terror." They claim abortion to be wrong and evil, but never mention the hardships on the mother herself, even if she is in her teen years. They claim to be more patriotic, but never explain why peace can't be patriotic. It is an over all poorly organized site, and copies wikipedia's exact format of their website. They are the Americans we should not be proud to be. Conservapedia also believes evolution to be lacking in support, because it threatens their religion, when they themselves are making it a threat. Evolution is a theory, which means it is proposed and not a blatant statement as they take it to be. Further more, evolution never goes against a religion, not simply because it is not religion, but because it is an amazing processed theory that people can still learn about, while holding their faith. They also discriminate against homosexuality. If they believe that american citizens should have free rights, shouldn't that be considered a right? Did religion ever tell one person they must be with the other, or else it is wrong? These are decisions by choice, how they as individuals feel, and they should have the right to feel these feelings, because they are just like any other American citizen. Conservapedia often has incorrect spelling, grammar, and is not on up to date events and often focus over and over on abortion and war. If we as a nation can't concentrate on things happening now, in this time and place, something is not right. Peace is Patriotic.

All of these may be true... but it's not encyclopedic (even if you think it should be). Were this to remain in the article, the folks over at Conservapedia might actually have an argument for them ;-) We're better than that, I would hope.

And here is the welcome:

All the policies and wiki crap are covered at simplified ruleset, which probably does the best job of explaining things, IMO. Best of luck! :-) Xavexgoem (talk) 00:26, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
