# There have been complete lies and misrepresentations about conservative or Christian figures. For example, on Wikipedia's article about prominent [[creation scientist]] [[Henry Morris]], there was a false claim inserted that said that he wrote that "the craters of the moon were caused by a cosmic battle between the forces of Satan and the armies of the archangel Michael", when in fact there is no evidence he actually made such a claim.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henry_M._Morris&diff=649432826&oldid=649431975</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henry_M._Morris&diff=prev&oldid=645978140</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henry_M._Morris&diff=next&oldid=645978140</ref> In addition, there was another false claim on his article that stated he was a member of the [[King James Only]] movement (and that lie was placed in the "criticism" section of the article),<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henry_M._Morris&diff=712927742&oldid=712927668</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henry_M._Morris&diff=713198044&oldid=713197892</ref> when in fact it is clear he was not aligned with the movement.<ref>Morris, Henry M.

# Another example of the many blatant and extreme misrepresentations on Wikipedia was on [[Ken Ham]]'s article. Someone added a sentence of his views on the neutrality, or lack of, in American public school education. At first the sentence read "Ham also believes that students in science classes in American public schools are being taught to 'worship the sun' and that it is religion being imposed by the United States Government" (even though Ham said nothing about the ''United States'' government).<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=645518900</ref> The sentence was eventually changed by a conservative Christian editor to "Ham believes that despite opposing the teaching of creation in public schools, by teaching evolution and naturalism, the government is imposing a type of religion on students in science classes in American public schools", which was much more appropriate.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=721302488</ref>

# The Wikipedia article on Ark Encounter, beginning in the very first sentence, makes extensive reference to the Ark being "fundamentalist", a term for Biblical literalists that has a well-known negative connotation and is most often used in a mocking or otherwise derogatory way. In addition, said article focuses mainly on controversies and opposition to the Ark whilst failing to even provide a description of the interior exhibits. The article ends with links to other Wikipedia pages discussing "flood myths". <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ark_Encounter</ref>
