<big>'''Hi, {{BASEPAGENAME}}, welcome to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism|WikiProject Conservatism]]!'''</big>

We are a growing community of editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles related to [[conservatism]]. Here's how you can get involved:

* Many important discussions take place on the project's [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Conservatism|main discussion page]]; it is highly recommended that you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism|action=watch}} watchlist it].
* Check the [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism|Recent changes]] for vandalism and violations of the [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view policy]].
* Add the project banner {{tl|WikiProject Conservatism}} to [[conservatism]]-related articles, and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Conservatism/Help#Assessment|assess]] them as well.
* Join fellow members in editing our project-wide [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism/Collab|article collaboration]] (the current one is {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism/Collab/Current}}).
* Cleanup some of the articles [http://toolserver.org/~svick/CleanupListing/CleanupListingByCat.php?project=Conservatism listed for cleanup].
* Check out the [[WP:WikiProject Conservatism/to do|to do list]] and complete some of the tasks.

If you have any questions, feel free to [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Conservatism|ask on the talk page]], and we will be happy to help you.

<small>By [[user:Lionelt|Lionelt]]<br><br></small>
Welcome to the inaugural issue of ''The Right Stuff'', the newsletter of [[WP:RIGHT|WikiProject Conservatism]]. The Project has developed at a breakneck speed since it was created on February 12, 2011 with the edit summary, "Let's roll!" With over 50 members the need for a project newsletter is enormous. With over 3000 articles to watch, an active talk page and numerous critical discussions spread over various noticeboards, it has become increasingly difficult to manage the information overload. The goal of ''The Right Stuff'' is to help you keep up with the changing landscape. 

''The Right Stuff'' is a newsletter consisting of original reporting. Writers will use a [[byline]] to "sign" their contributions. Just as with ''[[WP:Wikipedia Signpost/About|The Signpost]]'', "guidelines such as '[[WP:OWN|no ownership of articles]]', and particularly '[[WP:OR|no original research]]', will not necessarily apply."

WikiProject Conservatism has a bright future ahead: this newsletter will allow us tell the story. All that's left to say is: "Let's roll!"

<div style="font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">
<small>By [[user:Lionelt|Lionelt]]<br><br></small>
A new style guide to help standardize editing was rolled out. It focuses on concepts, people and organizations from a conservatism perspective. The guide features detailed article layouts for several types of articles. You can help improve it [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism/Style guide|here]]. The Project's Article Collaboration currently has two nominations, but they don't appear to be generating much interest. You can get involved with the Collaboration [[WP:RIGHT/C|here]]. 

I am pleased to report that we have two new members: [[user:Rjensen|Rjensen]] and [[user:Soonersfan168|Soonersfan168]]. Rjensen is a professional historian and has access to [[JSTOR]]. Soonersfan168 says he is a "young conservative who desires to improve Wikipedia!" Unfortunately we will be seeing less of [[user:Geofferybard|Geofferybard]], as he has announced his semi-retirement. We wish him well. Be sure to stop by their talk pages and drop off some [[WP:Wikilove|Wikilove]].

On August 3rd [[Peter Oborne]], a British journalist, became the Project's 3,000th tagged article. It is a tribute to the membership that we have come this far this quickly. The latest Featured Article is [[Richard Nixon]]. Our congratulations to [[user:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] for a job well done.  The article with the most page views was [[Rick Perry]] with 887,389 views, not surprising considering he announced he was running for president on August 11th. Follwing Perry were [[Michele Bachmann]] and [[Tea Party movement]]. The Project was ranked 75th based on total edits, which is up from 105th in July. The article with the most edits was [[Republican Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2012]] with 374 edits. An RFC regarding candidate inclusion criteria generated much interest on the talk page.

''The Right Stuff'' caught up with [[user:Dank|Dank]], the recently elected Lead Coordinator of  [[WP:MILHIST|WikiProject Military History]]. MILHIST is considered by many to be one of the most successful projects in the English Wikipedia. 

'''Q: Tell us a little about yourself.'''<br>
'''A''': I'm Dan, a Wikipedian since 2007, from North Carolina. I started out with an interest in history, robotics, style guidelines, and copyediting.  These days, I'm the lead coordinator for the Military History Project and a reviewer of Featured Article Candidates.  I've been an administrator and maintained [[WP:Update]], a summary of policy changes, since 2008.

'''Q: What is your experience with WikiProjects?'''<br>
'''A''': I guess I'm most familiar with [[WP:MILHIST]] and [[WP:SHIPS]], and I'm trying to get up to speed at  [[WP:AVIATION]].  I've probably talked with members of most of the wikiprojects at one time or another.

'''Q: What makes a WikiProject successful?'''<br>
'''A''': A lot of occasional contributors who think of the project as fun rather than work, a fair number of people willing to write or review articles, a small core of like-minded people who are dedicated to building and maintaining the project, and access to at least a few people who are familiar with reviewing standards and with Wikipedia policies and guidelines.

'''Q: Do you have any tips for increasing membership?'''<br>
'''A''': Aim for a consistent, helpful and professional image.  Let people know what the project is doing and what they could be doing, but don't push.

If you've got a core group interested in building a wikiproject, it helps if they do more listening than talking at first ... find out what people are trying to do, and offer them help with whatever it is.  Some wikiprojects build membership by helping people get articles through the review processes.

By [[user:Lionelt|Lionelt]]<br><br>
The arbitration request submitted by [[user:Steven Zhang|Steven Zhang]] moved into its second month. The case, which evaluates user conduct, arose from contentious discussions regarding the naming of the [[Pro-life]] and [[Pro-choice]] articles, and a related issue pertaining to the inclusion of "death" in the lede of [[Abortion]]. A number of members are involved. On the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abortion/Evidence|Evidence]] page [[user:ArtifexMayhem|ArtifexMahem]] posted a table indicating that [[user:DMSBel|DMSBel]] made the most edits to the Abortion article. DMSBel has announced their semi-retirement. Fact finding regarding individual editor behavior has begun in earnest on the[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abortion/Workshop|Workshop]] page.
<p>
Last month it was [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_76#Dispute_resolution_noticeboard_-_Stage_2|decided]] that due to the success of the new [[WP:DRN|Dispute Resolution Noticeboard]] the [[WP:CNB|Content Noticeboard]] would be shut down. [[WP:WQA|Wikiquette Assistance]] will remain active. The DRN is primarily intended to resolve content disputes.

Was your article deleted in spite of your best efforts to save it? You should consider having a copy [[WP:REFUND|restored]] to the [[WP:RIGHT/I|Incubator]] where project members can help improve it. Upon meeting content criteria, articles are graduated to mainspace. The Incubator is also ideal for collaborating on new article drafts. [[wp:WikiProject Conservatism/Incubator/Star Parker|Star Parker]] is the first addition to the incubator. The article was deleted per WP:POLITICIAN. 
[[file:Wiki-commons.png|95px|right]]<p>
WikiProject Conservatism is expanding. We now have a [[commons:commons:WikiProject Conservatism|satellite on Commons]]. Any help in categorizing images or in getting the fledgling project off the ground is appreciated.<p>
We have a few new members who joined the project in September. Please give a hearty welcome to [[user:Conservative Philosopher|Conservative Philosopher]], [[user:Screwball23|Screwball23]] and [[user:Regushee|Regushee]] by showing them some [[WP:Wikilove|Wikilove]]. Screwball23 has been on WikiPedia for five years and has made major improvements to [[Linda McMahon]]. Regushee is not one for idle chit chat: an amazing 93% of their edits are in article space.

On October 7, WikiProject Conservatism was [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism|nominated for deletion]] by member [[user:Binksternet|Binksternet]]. He based his rationale on what he described as an undefinable scope, stating that the project is "at its root undesirable". Of the 40 participants in the discussion, some agreed that the scope was problematic; however, they felt it did not justify deletion of the project. A number of participants suggested moving the project to "WikiProject American conservatism". The overwhelming sentiment was expressed by [[user:Guerillero|Guerillero]] who wrote: "A project is a group of people. This particular group does great work in their topic area[,] why prevent them from doing this[?]" In the end there was negligible opposition to the project and the result of the discussion was "Keep". The proceedings of the deletion discussion  were picked up by ''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2011-10-17/News and notes|The Signpost]]'', calling the unfolding drama "the first MfD of its kind". ''The Signpost'' observed that attempting to delete an active project was unprecedented. The story itself became a source of controversy which played out at the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2011-10-17/News and notes#Wikiproject Conservatism MfD|Discuss This Story]] section, and also at the {{Plainlink|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJorgenev&action=historysubmit&diff=456469755&oldid=456159509|name=author's talk page}}. 

Two days after the project was nominated, the [[P:RIGHT|Conservatism Portal]] was also [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Conservatism|nominated for deletion]] as "too US-biased". There was no support for deletion amongst the 10 participants, with one suggestion to rename the portal.
[[File:BurkeReflections.jpg|right|50px]]
In other news, a [[s:Portal:Conservatism|new portal]] focusing on conservatism has been created at WikiSource. Wikisource is an online library of free content publications with 254,051 accessible texts. One highlight of the portal's content is ''[[s:Reflections on the Revolution in France|Reflections on the Revolution in France]]'' by [[Edmund Burke]].

October saw a 6.4% increase in new members, bringing the total membership to 58. Seven of the eight new members joined after October 12; the deletion discussions may have played a role in the membership spike. [[User:Mwhite148|Mwhite148]] is a member of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|UK Conservative Party]]. Stating that he is not a conservative, [[user:Kleinzach|Kleinzach]] noted his "lifetime interest in British, European and international politics."

Timeline of conservatism, a Top-importance list, was [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of conservatism|nominated for deletion]] on October 3. The nominator stated that since conservatism in an "ambiguous concept", the timeline suffers from original research. There were a number of "Delete", as well as "Keep" votes. The closing administrator reasoned that consensus dictated that the list be renamed. The current title is [[Timeline of modern American conservatism]].

On January 21, [[The Conservatism Portal]] was promoted to [[WP:Featured Portal|Featured Portal (FP)]] due largely to the contributions of Lionelt. This is the first Featured content produced by WikiProject Conservatism. The road to Featured class was rocky. An earlier nomination for FP failed, and in October the portal was "Kept" after being nominated for deletion.

Member [[user:Eisfbnore|Eisfbnore]] significantly contributed to the successful [[WP:Good Article|Good Article]] nomination of  Norwegian journalist and newspaper editor [[Nils Vogt (journalist)|Nils Vogt]] in December. Eisfbnore also created the article. In January another Project article was promoted to [[WP:Featured Article|Featured Article]]. [[Luís Alves de Lima e Silva, Duke of Caxias]], a president of Brazil, attained Featured class with significant effort by [[user:Lecen|Lecen]]. The [[WP:RIGHT/I|Article Incubator]] saw its first graduation in November. A collaboration spearheaded by [[user:Mzk1|Mzk1]] and [[user:Trackerseal|Trackerseal]] successfully developed [[Star Parker]] to pass the notability guideline.

Another [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Conservatism#Scope (Part II): Endorsements|discussion]] addressing the project scope began in December. Nine alternatives were presented in the contentious, sometimes heated discussion. Support was divided between keeping the exitsing scope, or adopting a scope with more specificity. Some opponents of the specific scope were concerned that it was too limiting and would adversely affect project size. About twenty editors participated in the discussion.

Inclusion of the article [[Ku Klux Klan]] (KKK) was [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Conservatism/Archive 5#Ku Klux Klan|debated]]. Supporters for inclusion cited sources describing the KKK as "conservative." The article was excluded with more than 10 editors participating.

[[File:Rick Santorum by Gage Skidmore.jpg|80px|left]]

Articles about the GOP presidential candidate and staunch traditional marriage supporter have seen an explosion of discussion. On January 8 an RFC was opened [[Talk:Campaign for "santorum" neologism#RfC|(here)]] to determine if Dan Savage's website link should be included in [[Campaign for "santorum" neologism]]. The next day the [[Rick Santorum]] article itself was the subject of an RFC [[talk:Rick Santorum#BLP and inclusion/exclusion of the neologism|(here)]] to determine if including the Savage neologism was a violation of the [[WP:BLP|BLP policy]]. Soon after a third was opened [[Talk:Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality#Proposed merger of Campaign for "santorum" neologism into Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality|(here)]] at [[Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality]]. This RFC proposes merging the [[Campaign for "santorum" neologism|neologism article]] into the [[Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality|controversy article]].

The Abortion case [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abortion/Proposed decision|closed]] in November after 15 weeks of contentious arbitration. The remedies include semi-protection of all abortion articles (numbering 1,500), sanctions for some editors including members of this Project, and a provision for a discussion to determine the names of what are colloquially known as the [[pro-life]] and [[pro-choice]] articles. The Committee endorsed the "1 revert rule" for abortion articles.

== IBM System/34 performance ==
A question has been asked at [[WP:RD/C#processing power vs clock speed|the Wikipedia Computing reference desk]] about the processing power of the [[IBM System/34]] in comparison to later microprocessors. On 1 August 2005, you made [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=IBM_System/34&diff=20012608&oldid=19727376 an edit] which said "In today's PC-based world, think of the S/34 as having the processor equivalent of two 10 MHz 386s", modifying a claim by an earlier anonymous editor.

After a ''series of unfortunate events'' largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin {{u|Andrevan}} was the subject of an [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests#Advanced_permissions_of_Andrevan|Arbitration case]] for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including {{u|Winkelvi}} and the notorious {{u|MONGO}}. 

Editors who faced Enforcement action include {{u|SPECIFICO}} (no action), {{u|Factchecker atyourservice}} (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), {{u|Netoholic}} (no action) and {{u|Anythingyouwant}} (indef topic ban ARBAPDS). [[WT:WikiProject Conservatism|(Discuss this story)]]</div>

''[[Breitbart News]]'', in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The [https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium-breitbart-declares-war-on-wikipedia-in-facebook-s-fight-against-fake-news-1.5991915 article in ''Haaretz''] describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. ''Breitbart's'' targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to ''Haaretz''. There is no love lost between ''Breitbart'' and Wikipedia where editors at the [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard|Reliable Sources Noticeboard]] have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to ''The Daily Mail''.

WikiProject Conservatism was a [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive985#Vote_stacking_concern|topic of discussion]] at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the [[WP:Canvassing]] guideline. 

At one point the discussion segued to feedback about ''The Right Stuff.'' Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red." 

Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion.
''Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.''

Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a [[Wikipedia:Community_health_initiative_on_English_Wikipedia/Research_about_Administrators%27_Noticeboard_Incidents|recent survey]] . The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a "[[Wikipedia:BOOMERANG|boomerang effect]]" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an [[Wikipedia:Community_health_initiative_on_English_Wikipedia/Research_about_Administrators%27_Noticeboard_Incidents/Quantitative_data_analysis|analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I]]. Some notable takeaways:

* 53% avoided making a report due to fearing it would not be handled appropriately
* "Otherwise 'popular' users often avoid heavy sanctions for issues that would get new editors banned."
* "Discussions need to be clerked to keep them from raising more problems than they solve."

In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at [[Wikipedia_talk:Wikipedia_Signpost/2018-04-26/In_focus|''The Signpost'']] and [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive298#AN_/_ANI_boards_under_criticism|also at AN/I]]. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion. You can express your thoughts and ideas [[Wikipedia_talk:Community_health_initiative_on_English_Wikipedia/Improved_tools_and_workflows_to_report_harassment|here]].

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Jill Vitale|the article's talk page]].
