'''Uncyclopedia''' is a parody encyclopedia project created in January 2005<ref>http://www.netmag.co.uk/zine/discover-interview/the-brains-behind-uncyclopedia</ref>to lampoon [[Wikipedia]]'s extensive coverage, by mirroring their style of articles. It now has over 30,500 articles<ref> http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Special:AllPages</ref>. Popular topics parodied include [[Global warming]], [[Evolution]] and [[Creation]], the [[Bush]] administration, [[Conservapedia]], and popular culture. A recurring old joke on the site is making up [[Oscar Wilde]] quotes as well as quotes by [[Chuck Norris]], Captain Obvious, [[Kanye West]], and Russian Reversals.

Uncyclopedia's userbase, despite being a parody of [[Wikipedia]], supports much of the same liberal material that Wikipedia does. It was hosted by [[Wikia]], [[Jimbo Wales]]' for-profit webhost until January 5th 2013<ref>http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Main_Page</ref>. Its lack of standards results in an obviously liberal stance, and much of their satire is directed at Christian and Conservative values. In particular, their article on Conservapedia is composed mostly of hate speech, blatant lies,  and labeling Conservatives as "retards". In addition, they attack creationism using a "pro-creationist" article, which mocks creationism by phrases like "evolution will get you sent straight to hell" and "Darwin was a **** Satanist". As 2011, very few pages are in their "Liberal" category.
