Talk:Examples of Bias in Wikipedia (view source)
Revision as of 16:35, September 15, 2007
, 16:35, September 15, 2007→Wikipedia does NOT describe deceit as a "post-punk" rock album that is "austere, brilliant and indescribable.": sign
::* The article does not have many example as it is not a "List of acts of deception". Examples are used only to clarify the point, quality over quantity

:: Please do not mistake this for making excuses on WP's behalf, I am merely trying to clarify this entry on the list and prevent any accusations of bias again CP [[User:EQ|EQ]] 00:44, 15 September 2007 (EDT)

:::*''WP entry states "Deception is the act of convincing another to believe information that is not necessarily true".
:::*''CP entry states "Deceit is the deliberate distortion or denial of the truth with an intent to trick or fool another."
::::This is exactly the point. WP fails to highlight the moral aspects of deceit (or deception if you wish), or make a judgement worthy of condemnation. WP's entry on Murder for example says, "Murder is generally distinguished from other forms of homicide by the '''elements of malice aforethought''''" CP's entry on deceit uses '''"deliberate."'''
