Wilkins has a good introductory video to the concept of biodiversity—why isn't that post in your basic concepts list, John?

In the process of maintaining the Basic Concepts in Science list I often have to make a judgement call about whether or not something is a basic enough post. For example I have a slew of rather good but to my mind very technical posts by Carl Brannen at Mass which are labelled "Elementary Science…

way off-topic, but look at my article on Gravitation on Conservapedia quickly, before it's demolished by superior scholarship.
On the topic of conservapedia - I went to the page which lists wikipedia's supposed biases.
This one was number 6.
Wikipedia often uses foreign spelling of words, even though most English speaking users are American. Look up "Most Favored Nation" on Wikipedia and it automatically converts the spelling to the British spelling "Most Favoured Nation", even there there are far more American than British users. Look up "Division of labor" on Wikipedia and it automatically converts to the British spelling.
Huh? Most english speaking people are american? Does anyone notice the obvious irony in this statement? lol
Ed Brayton is bellyaching about Conservapedia being "vadalized" or the equivalent of t.p.'d. by the mean insensitive atheist evolutionist liberals.
We ought to be ashamed of ourselves.
*tries not to giggle*
BTW, the biodiversity video is a good introduction to the topic. But I seriously doubt that it would get many fundamentally religious people to be interested in it. Afterall, it is ALL the will of god, even if all the animal species on the planet disappeared, there is always the god excuse.
I have decided that according to my subjective opinion, (which I am encouraged to believe is as valid as anyone elses and will subsequently also allow me to worship my left toenail as the reincarnation of Elvis Presley), that the new name for Conservapedia shall henceforth be -
'The Conservative American Guide to Xenophobic Wingnuttery.'
*Ahem* To get back on topic, the reason it's not a Basics is because once we allow video, I'm going to be lost amongst links and as I have to read/see them all, I'll never get any work done...
Wait a minute. I don't get work done now...
What's up with that fogging of a tree (with pesticides?) to get the bugs to drop out.
Sounds like truth in advertising, beepbeep. As it is now, I think it would be awfully embarrassing to any conservatives from any other country.
the rest of the biodiversity site - www.TheWildClassroom.com - is ambitious. It'll be interesting to see once they get everything up and running properly.
