Examples of Bias in Wikipedia (view source)
Revision as of 18:59, January 29, 2007
, 18:59, January 29, 2007a bizzare user name is not necessarily indicative of a biased user; the page on conservapedia (though i did argue against its deletion on wikipedia) really did not meet wikipedia's standards.

3. A Wikipedia editor who edits under the names "Nearly Headless Nick" and a phony name "Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington" apparently deleted the entire Conservapedia entry on Wikipedia. His own user page says he "died on October 31, 1492 and is the resident ghost of Gryffindor tower." Wikipedia is controlled by editors like these?!
3. Wikipedia selectivly enforces their rules; they were especially harsh towards an article about Conservapedia.
4. There is a strong anti-American and anti-capitalism bias on Wikipedia. In its description of the post-war Bell Trade Act of 1946, in which the United States gave the Philippines $800 million in exchange for some free trade provisions, Wikipedia omits any mention of the $800 million dollars and instead lambasts the "wrath of Father Capitalism."<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Trade_Act</ref> The agreement was approved by popular vote on the Philippines, but the Wikipedia article omits that fact also.
