Uncyclopedia on Conservapedia[edit source]
Apparently, the new article of "Uncyclopedia" AND its talk page are fully locked. I think this deserves a mention on the page. Along with the fact that it seems as if all the articles there are locked. Rfts 05:43, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- Dude, nearly EVERY ARTICLE on that whore of a website is locked.--CannabisUser94 23:45, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Conservapedia on Uncyclopedia[edit source]
Conservapedia has an article which completely dumps on our high and righteous Uncyclopedia. They discredit our facts, deny our humor, and claim us to be a liberal-biased and anti-christian site because of our parodies on creationism. They have spread their lies about us for far too long! If it is a WAR that Conservapedia wants, it is a WAR they shall recieve! They shall pay for their downright treachery!

Seriously, NICE JOB =[edit source]
This is probably the single funniest UNCYC article I've ever read. Whoever wrote that bit about bacon needs his own webcomic. I was going to put some crap about "using a patented process of weasel words and creative editing Conservapedia represents the truth by defining the truth" perhaps spread out over many sentences and featuring bunk citations like CP does, but every time I tried to figure something out, it just made the page weaker. Seriously, best article ever. 132.198.84.83 19:29, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
This article is hilarious, and mostly because it is true. I got banned for 'liberal edits' when editing in truths about homosexuality. Ah Conservatives, so ridiculous...
Hello[edit source]
That website SUCKS! WOW! It's less trustworthy that uncyclopedia, because THEY don't tell you right out that they're lying to you!

I had the grim misfortune of running across the idiots at conservapedia, and I have to say, this article is brillient. An outragously long username, created for the single purpose of testing just how long usernames can get before the poor creator getting banned by an overzealous admin, much to the dismay and anguish of the account creator 13:07, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Wiki under alien attack[edit source]
The main page of Conservapedia has a rotating image of the United States flag and the Conservapedia logo. I think it looks a bit silly. I don’t know what Americans think. If the British flag were used that way I’d think they were insulting my country. Anyway I thought it looks a bit like an alien spaceship so I put that in the text.Proxima Centauri 08:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Alien ship? A very strange one at that. 124.181.205.171 08:10, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know, something like that doesn't really fit with the page's theme of taking their ridiculous beliefs and amplifying it tenfold. Besides, not everyone visits the site on a regular basis and would pick up on that, and to many it might just seem like randomness. I know I can only stay on the site for a few minutes before I start to feel sick to my stomach. I see what you're trying to do and all, but for this article, it just doesn't fit. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 14:43, Apr 13

Quote[edit source]
Why did you remove the quote I put on top of the page? 75.169.211.66 06:31, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
- My guess is that it sucked. Let me go look. Oh yeah, it did. Most articles try to keep quotes to a minimum, and just adding a quote to a page isn't necessarily an improvement. There are plenty of ways for you to improve an article other than just adding quotes. Might I suggest the mighty HTBFANJS as your summer reading assignment? sirsysrq @ 16:00 Aug 14
LOL[edit source]
i was banned from conservapedia (fucking right wing propaganda site).
Likewise. Within two minutes, mark you. AND I avoided the use of phrases like "biased", "cargo cult" or "painfully stupid".
- How not to be blocked:
- 1. Have an IP in amerika (other IPs are terrorists)
- 2. Make your first posts lengthy, otherwise you're not making useful contributions
- 3. don't make a first post, new users can't be trusted
- 4. just be stupid and not funny
- 4. make articles that already exist under another name (i.e. AIDS / Gay Disease / Disease and homosexuality / the gay plague)
- 5. complain about reverts, make sure to mention things like Jesus --Teelbal
- Have another ISP, or head over to the public library computers, but a few trained admins. can track down your location or region. Be very careful if you don't even troll in Conservapedia, just to post your POVs and any real pieces of evidence to be verifiably sourced. Conservapedia is the most biased thing out there since FOX News. + PotatoSmut 19:06, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
I NEED HELP PLEASE[edit source]
As you know, Ive been banned from conservafuckingpedia before I could write an article. Can someone help me by adding the sexual harrassment charges of clarence thomas to their so-called "truthful" version, meaning a big chunk of fucking lies.???? clarence thomas page?
nevermind i can change it myself, if you were going to help me, then thank you =)

Andrew Schlafley loves penis. The world deserves to know.
In fact, don't comment about Margaret Sanger's past on promoting her racist views and eugenics to weed out retarded babies from being born, they will ban you over it and dub it "Liberal Vandalism". They already discussed Sanger was a racist, then did a spin on her and stated she actually helped blacks in the 1930's, had a 2nd (Jewish) husband to both spoke out against the Nazis, and was testing out her birth control program in mostly Catholic land of Puerto Rico.+PotatoSmut 19:08, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
Conservepeida branded a "hate site"[edit source]
Well...if it isn't the evil Liberal Democrat socialist-communist atheists from wikipedia are at it again. They called our site a "hate site" in the same realm we don't fit in, like the neo-Nazi and white supremacists' web sites. We the non-stereotypical but typical right-wing Conservative Republicans don't like racism, sexism, classism and we actually don't hate gay people but it's no secret we often don't like homosexuality. Conservatives are made up of all races, genders, classes and even the "Log Cabin" Republicans are openly gay but anti-gay rights agenda conservatives. What about Colin Powell? Ann Coulter? Condoleezza Rice? She's black and female although we admire her huge contributions to the Conservative movement! Liberals obsess over the race, gender and whatever differences of people the same way a Klan member or race-baiter does to cause an argument and point the finger at us like "WE'RE THE BIGOTS". To oppose affirmative action guidelines that demand ONE minority applicant regardless of the applicant's job qualifications, to question the importance of stay-at-home moms to raise their own children and to promote Americanization of newcomers who arrived LEGALLY not undocumented as the breach of immigration law...is not "hate speech". Indeed most of us don't like abortion (but supports a women's right to get the pill in privacy of her home), don't believe in the theory of human evolution (but we like intelligent design on a spiritual force may been involved) and finally, not into the idea of global warming (but the world's climate changes over eons including modern times) doesn't make us hateful uneducated morons. Btw, we're not all religious nuts either. Conservatives are more devoted to our religious beliefs, but we don't wish for a theocracy. Like if I'm not for divorce, never eat pork or against the utterance of profanity, that's fine. But I'm totally aware most people accept divorce, will consume pork and may use the word "hell"...therefore I won't push for legal prohibition of divorce, pork products and ones' speech. + "NeoCon"

Acurate![edit source]
Wow, parody? Spoof? No, Uncyclopeida makes the shit site look like what it is. MORE 'communist and socialist and liberal' than Wikipedia (which it is attempting to not be like at all). Seriously go TRY to help build Conservapedia... they will delete your pages and block you, and the deleted page says it was deleted becuase of "Mockery of the site"... ok how is Final Fantasy mocking Conservapedia?! On top of that, most of their pages are protected so tight, it is easier to sneak a 50mi x 50mi case of Bibles into China! And, Conservapedia excersises policies not unlike what a 'christian' Hitler would do. They need to be taken of the internet, they are 'worse' by their definition than the 'evil' wikipedia satan. BULLSHIT people! Conservapedia is BULLSHIT! and Bullshit needs to be put in a trashcan and dumped before it stinks up the world. my opinion, of course. 69.229.248.60 17:46, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Why we chose to be god-hating sodomites[edit source]
according to Conservapedia, conservatives base their ideas on reason. luckily for us liberals, they can help us learn why we're doomed to burn in hell.http://www.conservapedia.com/Mystery:Why_Do_Non-Conservatives_Exist%3F

Wouldn't it be the funniest if this article just basically said that Conservapedia was exactly what it purports to be?
Go On.. Vandalise It[edit source]
why doesnt everyone all vandalise it all at the exact same time, they wont know whats going on, just go nuts, they cant ban hundresds of people at once.

Christian Conservative[edit source]
I am a Christian Conservative, and I LOVE Uncyclopedia! Those people at Conservapedia are right when they say that Wikipedia is incorrect. However, they are all wrong when they say that Uncyclopedia has a Liberal Bias. In fact, Uncyclopedia makes fun of liberals about as much as they do conservatives. --74.76.17.193 20:57, March 10, 2010 (UTC)
No they are not right when they say Wikipedia is incorrect. I didnt except less from a Christian Conservative.
Joining Conservapedia[edit source]
Anybody know how to join? they seem to have taken that off there website. I wants to mess up their stuff using an onion router.--Nobby Nobbs 01:13, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
I tryed to join but my IP had already been blocked even though I had NEVER been on the site before. I live in Scotland though so maybe they just automatically block all non- Americans. Anyone else have this problem? Captain redneck 11:41, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
Yes, it said something like "You have been banned. Reason: User from United Kingdom: Athiest troll capital". Lmao.86.152.52.137 15:43, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
Conservapedia lacks even misinfo[edit source]
I looked through the site, and about 84% of their main articles would be considered stubs on other wikis, which is kinda pathetic.
PLEASE READ[edit source]
I don't want to alarm anybody, but I think this article may be slightly biased against Conservapedia! --Dean42bean 01:50, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Something You Can Add (Stupid Conservapedia Bans)[edit source]
I'm highly religious (Judaic), but I think Conservapedia is a load of BS. However, I went on there and politely asked why they were so biased. I got perma-banned for being a "godless liberal clone". I'm religious and even I got banned!
You should add a section about Conservapedia's tendency to do stupid bans.

Liberal Vandalism bans[edit source]
The most common way to get BANT on the Conservapedia site is to add some "Liberal vandalism" like the differences of racial and ethnic groups. WTF??? To explain poverty gaps of minorities in America is not liberal vandalism, nor it is "racist" and these neo-cons go around saying they don't believe in Affirmative Action, but one individuals' own merit is the key to success. Well yeah, dude...if they feel race should never be an issue in hiring for employment in the government or federal/state-funded public service jobs (i.e. the DMV), they can be just like the liberal Democrats and they too preserved white privilege.+ 207.200.116.71 13:55, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
We know. Since this is the most valid talk page section to paste it, i'm going to show you a piece of vandalism by an awesome parodist on Conservapedia. This material was found on the page "Moronic vandalism by the 'Tolerant'" (Tolerance is evil and must be wiped from the earth!)
" * RodWeathers, a vandal posing as a conservative, wrote an essay threatening to undermine and damage Conservapedia. The best quote* follow(s):
....But what if a mischievous user, instead of linking images of Hitler and inserting silly insults, poisoned Conservapedia's articles? What if such a user inserted illusory facts into articles, quoted books never written by men never born, and cited fantastical statistics from studies never conducted? Imagine the glee such a person would feel at seeing Conservapedia's administrators using those very same statistics to refute sane individuals making reasonable arguments. "
I think that pretty much sums conservapedia up. 79.65.102.158 16:34, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps create 'logic traps', identify argument plotholes (One of the ten commandments - Thou Shalt Not Kill - and anti-gun control; the Bible has nothing against lesbians, S-M, foot-fetishists, dominatrices etc, only agin gays), 'ghastly puns' (see joke books aimed at 10-15 year olds for examples) etc.
Is Conservapedia fit for young persons?[edit source]
The main page has reference to homosexuality #and# abortion.
The wiki spreads alarm and despondency.
Even its server tends to give up on it.
I`ve just got blocked[edit source]
I decided to create an account, but got blocked after a minute. It took me an hour to realised that someone else had been using my IP address a year ago trolling this website. This is the funny is part: how long they were blocked for:
"Start of block: 00:50, 2 April 2009
Expiry of block: infinite
Intended blockee: 122.57.0.0/16 "
God, this site is so funny. They have no clue what censorship is. They believe that it is anything that liberal try to cover up. They are forgetting that they are censoring as well. 122.57.196.3 06:26, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
- They permabanned an IP range? Fail. --Andorin Kato 06:28, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
- One day there won`t be anymore IP address... ever... that will be able to create an account. However, that might be what they want. I`m suprised no one has hacked into the site yet. Locking all the admins out of the site would be funny. Someone needs to trash the place. 222.155.170.249 04:27, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

"Probably the most condemning argument which can be made against Nirvana is that their music fails to be morally uplifting." So true... 125.239.228.108 05:07, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
- I disagree. In "Something in the way" it says It's okay to eat fish because they don't have any feelings which has a distinct moral which has a direct correlation to Genesis 9:3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.. In comparison however the new testament starts with the book of Matthew and the genealogy of Christ, which obviously is morally unsound, as it says in Timothy 1:4 "Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies". If it says it in the Bible, and the Bible is the inspired word of God, then it's directly from the mouth of God and must be right. So where it goes on and on with all the begatting in the Bible - which is of course the inspired word of God - it directly contravenes the Bible - which is the word of God.

This article should stay, but why do we continue to host links via the template to their site?[edit source]
I would suggest removing the entirety of external links to Conservapedia, as it has degraded from (formerly) a right-wing source of talking points to (currently) a fundamentalist-extremist propaganda machine that self-fulfills a positive feedback loop. Seriously. Please read the articles they have on what are neutral and generally factual topics. Only then can you prepare yourself - and I'm REALLY not fucking kidding about this - the absolutely injecting-industrial-made-brain-killing-viewpoints they have on literally every topic. The positive feedback loop on this type of extremism is normalized because it's something we've become used to in our daily lives. But there is nothing normal or more importantly useful about this crap.
The reason I am suggesting this policy is that every article we link is so extremist that it's indistinguishable from satire (See Poe's Law)
But we KNOW it's legitimate extremism and NOT satire because the original creator was & is a legitimate conservative and still retains active control over the site.
For god-sakes(not that there is one)jk pls zucc me daddie-mommie jesus, look at their article on January 6. That site is a continuous producer of poison for the world we live in, let alone for the people who just want to laugh after a hard day at work. I think we owe it to people like that to mock Conservapedia without exposing them to it (without appropriate warning/context)
Sorry for the serious rant on a comedy site we all love to contribute to, but after seeing a few of their articles out of simple curiosity & open-mindedness to their alternate views, it was immediately brazenly clear that they (the ones on the site in question) have abandoned any semblance of reason & caution and instead opted for dangerous and further polarizing/angering viewpoints. And speaking more generally, every attempt by the people they hate to calm things down makes them want to burn things up 2 times more. That thus means that the the people who represent them can only survive by echoing their senti-mints
