Conservapedia strives to keep its articles concise, informative, family-friendly, and true to the [[fact]]s, which often back up conservative ideas more than [[liberal]] ones.  Rather than claim a neutral point of view and then insert bias, Conservapedia is clear that it seeks to give due credit to conservatism and Christianity. Schlafly said in regard to the point of view issue, "It's impossible for an encyclopedia to be neutral. I mean let's take a point of view, let's disclose that point of view to the reader." <ref>Robert Siegel.

Conservapedia has come up with a key [[wiki]] metric that measures tolerance/intolerance at a wiki. Namely, the [[Essay: Edits to blocked editor accounts ratio at a wiki|Edits to blocked editor accounts ratio at a wiki]] which measures the close-mindedness/intolerance and [[groupthink]] of a wiki. Mathematically, the edits to blocked editor accounts ratio can be expressed as: Edits to blocked editor accounts ratio at a wiki = E % BE,  where E is the number of edits to the wiki and BE equals the number of blocked editor accounts of the wiki. The edits to blocked editor accounts ratio was partly inspired by [[Andrew Schlafly]]'s essay [[Essay:Quantifying Openmindedness|Quantifying Openmindedness]]. Unlike Conservapedia, Wikipedia does not have a policy where members of the public are free to set up debate pages and engage in vigorous debate where the debate pages are lightly moderated (see: [https://conservapedia.com/Category:Conservapedia_Debates Conservapedia debates pages]).
