: Fine. Here is the link to the section on breast cancer in the abortion article: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion#Breast_cancer], which contains a link to the aforementioned article. And I did sign my comment; there was an edit conflict and I had to retype it all out and I forgot to resign it. [[User:GofG|GofG]] 21:52, 9 March 2007 (EST)
==Wikipedia six times more liberal than public?==
==Wikipedia six times more liberal than public?==
Someone needs to check their math on this one. If twice as many people identify themselves as conservative as liberal, then 1/3 of the public identifies themselves as liberal. If 3 times as many Wikipedia editors identify themselves as liberal instead of conservative, then 3/4 of Wikipedia editors identify themselves as liberal. 3/4 divided by 1/3 is 9/4, or 2.25. Therefore, "six times" is just incorrect math, and 2.25 times is the correct answer.
