Right wingers in the states have created http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page....saying wiki is too 'liberal'.....
it just looks like a rubbish version of the true open source goddess to me..but at least we have hooked them in.
Lets have a look at their world:
February 28
The Republican Party of the United States of America was organized on this day in 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin. this the most recent date on the date bit!
Marx drew heavily on the ideas of the German philosopher Friedrich Engels. I suppose with the wiki system they will change this to Hegel.
Zen well the whole thing reads
A belief system which emphasizes awareness and "seeing deeply into the nature of things". It began in China and eventually spread to the rest of the world.
Zen Buddhism mixes Daoism with Buddhism.

what next a wiki just for say Scientologists....any way the wiki idea is pretty subversive so if we have conservatives seduced by it all to the good.
If I want some contra opinions I will look at my Economist sub....US conservatism just seems silly.
Reality has a well-known liberal bias. If people want want to live in a fantasy world they will come and edit this site.
This is a pr disaster, I mean everyone one I disagree with from 'neo-liberals' to fundamentalist Salifists has better spin doctors than these people.
Evolution....what do they say here:
"Fossil evidence of human evolutionary history is fragmentary and open to various interpretations. Fossil evidence of chimpanzee evolution is absent altogether". Henry Gee, “Return to the Planet of the Apes,” Nature, Vol. 412, 12 July 2001, p. 131.

Evolution Violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Evolution does in fact lower the entropy of the sum of the living DNA on this planet. The mechanism used by evolution to lower entropy is the collection and storage of information about trait survivability on strands of molecules called DNA. The theory of Evolution says that this information collects naturally through non-random selection from offspring variation.

Hugo Chavez is the president of Venezuela. He was born on July 28, 1954. The young and intimidating Chavez is described as "Castro with money". I dare say they will flesh this out...

Conservapedia doesn't seem too keen on South Park either... (my favourite cartoon) :(
"controversial due to its use of vulgar and obscene language, engages in scatological humor, makes fun of religion and ohter respected institutions"
"it indulges in shock for shock's sake"
This wiki is just is the Christian far right trying to tell lies to their own supporters. They are lying about evolution, lying about science and lying about reality.
Thank goodness we have people like Richard Dawkins leading the attack on these dangerous nutters.
I can't see it getting anywhere near the status of wikipedia - as you say - it's full of wrong and biased information.
You'd have to be a pretty stupid debater to say, "you're wrong - according to conservapedia the facts are".
People will just be laughed at if they quote it. In a debate, you need to bring neutral and universally accepted sources to the table.
Conservapedia is confusing the word liberal with the word scientific.
These people must think British conservatives are real pinkos. Did you know they sell Ann Coulter's books in Borders? What's the point of that?
