# Wikipedia is sympathetic to Fidel Castro in its entry about Cuba.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuba</ref> Wikipedia blames President Dwight Eisenhower for choosing "to attend a golf tournament" rather than meet the revolutionary Castro in 1959, and then Wikipedia claims that Castro became a communist because of the American-backed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. Conservapedia tells the truth up-front: "Cuba has been ruled by a communist dictator named Fidel Castro since 1959."<ref>[[Cuba]]</ref>

# Wikipedia's article on far-left politics outright praises the dismantling of social structures and even goes on to say that the far-left promotes equality, while failing to mention the blatant anti-Semitism and anti-Israel hate speech among the far-left, its racism against whites in the form of Jeremiah Wright, the blatant racism among groups like Black Panthers. While its far-right politics articles accuse them of maintaining a social hierarchy and being racist and being supremacists that keep the "oppression" in check, while utterly failing to mention the black supremacist politics among the far-left. It promotes the far-left as bringing equality, while failing to mention its supremacist racism by people like NBP for example.

# The lengthy Wikipedia article on the SPLC reads like a public relations brochure for the organization, violating Wikipedia's own rules about primary sources and self-published material. It was tagged as too dependent on primary sources and biased but those tags were removed without a substantial change in the article.
# The article contains only one brief (three and a half lines) paragraph on the controversy of the SPLC labeling peaceful organizations "hate-groups" and half that paragraph is dedicated to exonerating the SPLC.
# When an editor (Yeoberry) attempted to add material about a possible terrorist attack provoked by the SPLC's "hate-group list" and properly sourced material about the man who started listing hate-groups now critical of the SPLC's list, the material was deleted without consultation. When the editor tried to revert it, he was accused to "edit warring".
# An editor, with an apparent interest in the SPLC, Dougweller, proceeded to repeatedly post critical comments on Yeoberry's "talk" page, follow his contributions and encourage other editors to oppose him.
# Wikipedia has several instances of citing the SPLC as a reliable source for describing which groups are "hate groups", such as the Family Research Institute, repeating the SPLC's designations as if they were fact.
