Talk:Examples of Bias in Wikipedia (view source)
Revision as of 23:27, September 16, 2007
, 23:27, September 16, 2007→# 18
: I reread #18 (now #20) and updated the minor revision in the "misquoted" section in the footnote. Wikipedia changed "predominantly Christian" to "nominally Christian." Whoopee. The rest of your criticisms of #18 (now #20) have even less merit. The Wikipedia meta page does complain about Christian "bias" in older sources. Too bad that [[liberal]]s can't realize the difference between identity, perspective and bias. #18 (now #20) is correct but you have given me another point to add to [[liberal style]] here.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 21:29, 12 September 2007 (EDT)

:: Please don't attack me based on my word choice between perspective and bias; they both apply equally to the out-of-copyright sources that the meta article talks about. See [[bias]]. And how do you know I'm not conservative or moderate?
:: #18/#20 still distorts the intent and contents of the Wikipedia meta article, makes up accusations, and uses overly POV/biased word choice. For example, no one complained that Wikipedia is based on Christian and Jewish Encyclopedias; the Conservapedia writer literally made that up. Use of these texts is actually ''encouraged'' because they usually do a good job covering their area of expertise. The sources (including a public domain Encyclopedia Brittanica) just need to be checked for "ingrained biases, inaccuracies, and other problems reflecting the age and nature of the sources." I realize you want to score points against Wikipedia, but you only have to reread the article - the entire article - to realize that the #18/20 accusations are invalid.
:: As a side note, MediaWiki allows you to cite a single source in multiple places instead of using acronyms. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Footnotes#Citing_a_footnote_more_than_once Wikipedia:Footnotes] - [[User:PostoStudanto|PostoStudanto]] 19:27, 16 September 2007 (EDT)
