#Wikipedia minimizes the atrocities of the [[Khmer Rouge]].  It explicitly states that the Khmer Rouge killed "over 740,000 Cambodians" on its page about the Khmer Rouge<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_Rouge#Crimes_against_humanity</ref> and uncritically regurgitates the legitimacy of that so-called "estimate".  Further, it openly declares that more people may have died in the Cambodian civil war than the subsequent genocide,<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_Civil_War</ref> even though there is no actual study cited to support the assertion.  Indeed, their "estimates" are simply claims repeated by word of mouth uncritically and in the absence of evidence (though they can always find a "source" to cite in support of them); they appear to have been first promulgated ''by'' the Khmer Rouge themselves, along with their supporters in the West.<ref>http://www.chomsky.info/articles/19770625.htm</ref>

#In Wikipedia's page on the ABC's docudrama <i>The Path to 9/11</i>, the page contains a section titles "Controversy and criticisms," which contains 19 sub-sections to support it, while the section titled "Controversy: support for The Path to 9/11" only contains four, despite the fact that the controversy was sparked by pro-Clinton liberals that failed to see the fact that the two-part miniseries criticized both Bush and Clinton administrations leading up to 9/11 and that writer Cyrus Nowrasteh stated that many of their consultants on it stated that the docudrama went easy on Clinton.  It also fails to note John Ziegler's documentary on the censoring of the docudrama <i>Blocking the Path to 9/11</i> [http://www.johnziegler.com/], which contains interviews with many people on the topic, and points out how the [[MSM]] liberals and Clintons have smeared it so much that it has destroyed it from ever being shown on TV or being sold on DVD in the near-future.

#In its Vietnam War article, it implies that only about a million Cambodians were killed by the Khmer Rouge.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War#Aftermath</ref>

#The Wikipedia article "[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_conspiracy_theories&oldid=504359758 List of consipracy theories]" ridicules and dismisses as "conspiracy theories" more hypotheses advanced by conservative thinkers than hypotheses advanced by left wing thinkers. The editor(s) of this page have an obvious liberal bias that hold in disfavor a number of ideas advanced by conservatives. For example, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_conspiracy_theories&oldid=504359758#Water_fluoridation Water Fluoridation] has been opposed by many conservative groups due to concerns about health impacts as well as a question of personal freedom and limits on the proper scope of government.  Yet, the Wikipedia list dismisses these views as a "conspiracy theory" that draws on "distrust of experts and unease about medicine and science". In another example, [[peak oil]] is a theory advanced by many conservatives including geologist [[T. Boone Pickens]].  Yet, the page dismisses it, noting "There are theories that the 'peak oil' concept is a fraud concocted by the oil industries to increase prices amid concerns about future supplies."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_conspiracy_theories&oldid=504359758|title=List of conspiracy theories#Peak oil|date=July 28, 2012|accessdate=July 28, 2012}}</ref>

#Its articles on the Khmer Rouge and the Cambodian Genocide cite estimates of about 1.5 million killed, which is off by over 700,000; while its numbers for the Cambodian Civil war are between 2 and 10 times higher than any actual estimate would indicate.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_Rouge</ref><ref>http://www.paulbogdanor.com/chomsky/manufacturing.html</ref>

#The Wikipedia article "[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Plan_%28Washington,_D.C.%29&oldid=478678893 The Plan (Washington, D.C.)]" is one of the conspiracy theories included on the official Wikipedia conspiracy list.  However, the article cites few sources supporting the existence of the conspiracy to replace black residents with whites in Washington DC and no sources that refute the existence of the conspiracy.
