Keep up to date with all the insanity at extremist Christian conservative blog Conservapedia right here. This page is for rolling reports of the strange, contradictory or humorous activity at Conservapedia. 

Archives:

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.

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.

Brevity is the soul of wit. If it can't be said in two lines, then it's probably not that noteworthy, really.

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.

Tim calls outimg three suspected parodists! Two we know, and... who? UPDATE: Then again, maybe he won'timg

31

Jesus Andy! Again with the "2+2=4" nonsenseimg

13

Yet another 90/10 blockimg for a user with one contributionimg. Update: Ed Poor doesn't opposeimg FernoKlump's 90/10 initiative any longerimg - he justimg ignores itimg...

14

Gay marriage is bad because "every marriage should benefit society."img (Oh, crap, the word 'every' doesn't appear in the Newsweek article) Textbook example: we have yet to see how exactly Mr. and Mrs. Schlafly's marriage benefitted society...

15

(Dis)Honest Ed redefines edit warimg as reverting an unexplained removal onceimg. Disagreeing with Ed Moon is now a blockable offense.

21

A new user asks a question.img Buglerimg and Edimg answer politely. Shame RodWeathers never receivedimg the memo.

8

Thisimg from the man who created red links for BDSM and Swinging.

31

If this is my prizeimg, keep it. Please. How much more tacky can these get?

16

"Conservative" continues editingimg a discredited disease. But gays are bad, so the "truth" must be kept current!

54

American History Homework Twelve Answers - Student 25img says "Russia" when he means the entire USSR, says that the Vietnam and Korean wars were "the two wars that caused immense casualties between 145 and 1980", is impressed by Jackie Robinson "because baseball is shown everywhere so he received a lot bad criticism and hate", says Lyndon Johnson was known "for his ability to shove everyone out of his way", and claims that the "Warren court was anti-God they made a lot of bad and unmoral decisions". What grade does this startling oversimplification of American politics and butchering of English grammar earn Student 25? "Perfect answers! Superb. May use this as a model! 70/70. Congratulations!" Yeah, I'm sure this is preparing kids really well for the AP tests. Especially since, among fourteen papersimg, everybody got either 70/70 or 100/100 except for one 69/70 and one 99/100.

30

Can you suck up the teacher too much?img No, you can't!img

16

Apparently feeling pressured to look like he's not protecting a parodist, Special Ed blocks Buglerimg for a whole two hours! That'll teach him! Unfortunately, Bugler forgot he was supposed to be playing dead and starts blocking peopleimg after only a little more than half that time. Oopsie!

32

So a new user comes inimg and makes a flurry of Cognitive Science changes to articles. The result? Permabanimg for "inserting gibberish or nonsense" and a deletionimg of otherwise good edits, and an assertion he is a vandal/parodist?!img. Vey to go Ed! UPDATE Ken undoesimg Ed's "whimsical" block.

18

Cripes, Ed! We tell you about your failures all the freakin' timeimg, and you haven't shown any improvement yet.

End EZ edit section

26

My Jesus is about hellfireimg, not that liberal "forgiveness" crap!

14

No conflict of interestimg there, nosir! Maybe Ken's upset since nobody seems to really care about his rants over there lately. Extra Lulz "Now that everyone's stated what name they'd like on the award, I'll go have it made under the name I want insteadimg." Embarrassingly Stupid Ken favours historical figures over contemporaryimg while discussing an award where he pushed for the exact opposite.

19

Asking a court to boot a corrupt governor from office is demanding judicial activismimg. But it is, of course, perfectly all right to ask a court to boot the President-elect because Conservapedia doesn't like his birth certificate!img

33

Sarah Palin's church was torched. The culprits have not been identified yet (there is not even proof that the fire was started deliberately, and for all anyone knows she could have done it herself to snag some sympathy [1]), but God has apparently told Conservapedia that the atheists did it!img

7

Accusing someone of drug useimg, perfectly okay. In fact, "keep up the good work"img! Asking for an apologyimg = a block for insulting behaviourimg. I guess calling someone an idiot was a compliment then?

2

Ken to Jessica:img "It's hard to resist the sweet reasonableness of a tender hearted Conservapedian of the female persuasion. :)" Awww, shucks! Ken's pretending to be straight! Update: Ken broke the link. Updated.

58

Oh, boy! The new stupidityimg is out! UPDATE: Schlafly Statistics still to comeimg? UPDATER Bullshit statistics are GO!img

32

Bugler: "You are an idiot"img (and 61 other insults towards 4 sysops and a (formerly) respected editor) -- verbal warning for personal remarksimg BRichtigen: Do (people) think that 'you are an idiot'?img -- 1 day block for personal remarksimg HelpJazz: "Do you see any incongruity here??"img -- 1 WEEK block for personal remarksimg, Later unblockedimg, probably because we drew attention to it. Conclusion: To avoid being blocked for personal remarks, make sure the remarks are really nasty. The nicer you are, the less Ed wants you to contribute to the project.

Leadership, thy name is (not) Aschlafly. See also Trying to persuade a corpse

5

Your meritocracy in action.

41

Kotomi dons the blue beret Update: Ed Poor knows that it is not about him (but proves otherwise)Smack! Kotomi ups the ante. Update: Bugler replies: "I'm insulted that you call me a fascist, even if the things I say would make Mussolini proud."

12

Muslims are on Conservapedia's side against the Evil Evolutionists. Perhaps the election of Barack ("Bin Laden") Obama isn't such an unmitigated disaster after all!

15

Apparently mentioning criticism of how the Catholic church handles legal problems is now blasphemy. Been too long since we've had a good inquisition.

8

Poor Ed finally gets fed up with reverting Tolkiendil's scholarship and permabans him for "inserting nonsense." That's a harsher sentence than the five years they gave to J "The One Ring represents true conservative principles" Bagnor.

78

BUMP! Ed will regret this, as HelpJazz takes aim, and hits a bulls-eye! Update Special Ed never fails to disappoint. Actually, he's really disappointing, threatening everyone for tattling on poor Bugler. At least Phil got a laugh out of it. WHITEWASHED! Best moments: Ed reverts and Blocks BRichtigen... for using the exact same words that Bugler got away with scott free.

52

Sweetness: Here's some random, nigh incomprehensible thoughts on Christmas. What do you think? Rod: Recreate your account with your real name. TK welcomed him after he was blocked. DanielGH: Ok. I did as you asked. Andy: 90/10. Revert.

61

Epistemology, Assfly style:img ...more people agree that autumn foliage is beautiful than agree that 2+2=4. If you agree the latter is absolute, so is the former. More American voters agree that Obama will make a good president than agree that Dubya was a good president or agree that McCain would have made a good president. What does that mean, Andy?

9

“To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.” [2]img That’s what our hero TK wrote. Careful Teacake. If teh Assfly thinks you mean him he just might turn round and sting you. On second thoughts don’t worry. Assfly never sees anything worse than what teh flatterers tell him.

44

If you wish hard enough, maybe it will come trueimg!

15

TK: If you don't like my cartoonimg being added to liberal-bashing articles, too badimg. It's Dramatic Ironyimg, dammit, and th-th-th-that's all, folks. PS, TK doesn't understand Dramatic Irony at all

81

TK detects a sock and shows his reading skills: 05:12, 11 December 2008 TK (Talk | contribs) blocked JPEngozi (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of 5 years (account creation disabled) ‎ (Abusing multiple accounts: Aschlafly blocked StoryOfTheEye 5 years, this is sock of that user.) Well done: 23:04, 10 December 2008 Aschlafly (Talk | contribs) blocked StoryOfTheEye (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of 5 years (autoblock disabled) ‎ (Recreate your account with your real first name and last initial)

75

Lowkey throws a grenadeimg at Aschlafly, when is block gonna happen? Update Andy showsimg leadership. Developing Ed makes a subtle grabimg for power? More Andy identifies the real problemimg - people spelling hell with a small 'h'. And in the meantime, even senior sysop CPAdmin1/Tim is about to go the wayimg of the 90/10 Dodo.
