Wikipedia Article on "Conservapedia"

Outraged at the flagrant liberal bias of Wikipedia, conservatives have created an alternative on-line encyclopedia named "Conservapedia," which more accurately reflects the infallibility of evangelical Christianity and American industry.

As conclusive proof of Wikipedia's liberal bias, the Conservapedia site claims that:

1) Wikipedia allows the use of B.C.E. and C.E. instead of mandating the BC and AD dating system. This is clearly an attempt to deceive people into thinking that Jesus did not personally create the time-line.

2) Wikipedia's abortion entry reads like a pamphlet from the abortion industry.

3) And finally, Wikipedia is six times more liberal than the American public.

The full list is here.

However, as the Wikipedia entry notes, "Critics such as libertarian conservative writer Andrew Sullivan, conservative blogger Jon Swift, science writer Carl Zimmer and others, have criticized and mocked the Conservapedia website for factual inaccuracy, extremism, hypocrisy, bias, and ignoring the scientific consensus on subjects such as the Big Bang and evolution in favor of biblical exegesis. Widely disseminated examples of Conservapedia articles that contradict the scientific consensus include the claims that all kangaroos descend from a single pair that were taken aboard Noah's Ark, that "Einstein's work had nothing to do with the development of the atomic bomb" and that gravity and evolution are theories that remain unproven."

To be fair, the Wikipedia entry has been flagged for its potential lack of neutrality.

Addendum: Jon Swift, one of the individuals cited in the Wikipedia Entry, has kindly provided a link to the entirety of his blog post regarding Conservapedia. Read it here.

His comment also reminded me that I should hat-tip the Washington Post blog for first informing me of this story. Therefore [Hat-tip to the Washington Post]
