Why can I edit this site but not Conservapedia? I am a well-educated conservative after all. I like to promulgate a beneficial image of Conservatives to the masses of ideologically flawed, which means the "truth" or as close as possible to it.

Fair use rationale for Image:A Day of Nights Cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:A Day of Nights Cover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:A Day of Nights Cover.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:A Day of Night Cover.jpg. The copy called Image:A Day of Night Cover.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot (talk) 22:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Regarding your question: every article has a history link that shows each edit and reversion that has been made to the article. To see the result of any individual edit, just click on "prev" which shows the difference between the two versions. Unfortunately, there's no way to show it until the deed is done. So usually, best bet is to just start a section on the discussion page in question if you think your edit might be contested, cut and paste the section you think needs changing and then what you think it needs to be changed to. If you don't think the change would be controversial, you can always be BOLD and just make the change, just remember to source your content addition with reliable sources. Now, if someone doesn't agree with your change they can be bold right back, but then you have to go to the talk page to gain consensus if you want your change to remain. Hope that helps answer your question, and happy editing! Aunt Entropy (talk) 22:42, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
