# The Wikipedia article for [[Ken Ham]] has had a very extreme bias against the Christian apologist. For example, his article had a false claim that he invented the term "observational science", when there was no evidence for, and evidence to the contrary to it.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=644315768</ref>

# Still think Wikipedia is unbiased on articles pertaining to evolution/creation? A look an any Wikipedia talk page pertaining to Creationism or Intelligent Design shows that many of the people editing those articles are extremely biased against those views and often make snide, hostile, and low-level comments against them.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Young_Earth_creationism Talk:Young Earth Creationism] (and archived discussions), [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Answers_in_Genesis Talk:Answers in Genesis] (and archived discussions), [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ken_Ham Talk:Ken Ham] (and archived discussions), for example.

# Klinghofer wrote: When it comes to anything related to ID, Wiki editors have rigid and not altogether surprising biases. They are lightning fast at erasing corrections to pages they care about. Wikipedia’s coverage of ID, which they characterize as “a religious argument for the existence of God,” is hopelessly prejudiced and inaccurate. So a pseudonymous editor recommended getting rid of Dr. Bechly’s page, and another, after making a show of weighing the case and soliciting opinions from others, agreed to it. In an eerie replay of his experience with the museum, which deleted his webpages. Bechly is a distinguished paleontologist. After revealing his support for the theory of intelligent design, he was terminated as a curator at the State Museum of Natural History in Stuttgart, Germany.<ref>Wikipedia Erases Paleontologist Günter Bechly, David Klinghoffer, '''Evolution News''', October 10, 2017,[https://evolutionnews.org/2017/10/wikipedia-erases-paleontologist-gunter-bechly/]</ref>
