Talk:The American Conservative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patrick, Taki - do not shut down! I love TAC, it's like conservative crack!!
- Why is it that at Wikipedia, the people who are the most aggressive about deleting other people's contributions, are typically the most ignorant about the subject in question? And that includes at least one administrator, who shall for obvious reasons remain nameless.
- What is the point of devoting weeks, months, and in some cases, years to studying a topic, and then spending anywhere from 20 minutes to three hours writing, rewriting, and formatting passages for a page, only to find the next time one visits that page, that some moron who knows absolutely nothing about the subject (and who does not even claim any expertise), has deleted all of your passages, and made a smug, self-satisfied remark, to boot?
- Wikipedia's creator sees a conflict between expertise and democracy; he claims to choose democracy. But Wikipedia is no democracy, either. Wikipedia rules like "NPOV" apply only to certain groups (heterosexual, white, conservative men) but not at all to others (e.g., racist blacks). And as noted, know-nothing administrators also like to throw their weight around.
- So, why bother? It's what I do. Eventually, I'll get banned, but that's the way the world works. Every playground has its bullies. But you can either surrender, or you can at least get some licks in, before they knock you down.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.23.177.216 (talk • contribs).

- Rather than the preceding vagueness, could you specify what problem you're referring to? The only edit I notice you've made to this article is this one, citing two blogs. We don't normally cite blogs here, and I don't see any reason to treat the first as particularly credible or the second as particularly notable.—Nat Krause(Talk!) 23:14, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

- Why should it still be mentioned? (TAC shutting down.) The year is almost up. TAC does not look like it is closing down. It is still going. While it probably does (or did) have money problems, it does not look like it is going anywhere anytime soon.18:35, 9 December 2006 (UTC)~PHX-WIKI
Again, why are we still including this? It seems to me the year is over, and there are no signs that it is shutting down. If there are still signs, show some new (credible) sources! ~ PHX-WIKI
