I could be wrong, but I think someone is poking fun at Conservapedia's Americanism. (Even though the Conservapedia Commandments no longer make a point of insisting on U. S. spelling, and complaints about Wikipedian Anglophilia are now pretty well buried in a mass of other [[http://www.conservapedia.com/Bias_in_Wikipedia|examples of "bias"]]  [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 22:03, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

:They tend towards being funny, too.  I was running around fixing [[Monty Python]] links when I came across [[Transport Cafe]].  Fairly true, but tongue in cheek as well.  I also came across what might have been a fictional town.  I don't think this site ''wants'' to be funny (ntentionally), although an argument could be made for some humor - as long as it is encyclopedic and, well, true.

::I deleted some new articles and some edits recently that were British-related (one was in [[Glasgow]]), and they fitted your description of tending to be funny but sounding realistic.  Some were clearly wrong; others not so clearly.  I'd support being suspicious of them (for the record, I'm not talking about Llanfair...., which is a real place and a light-hearted but genuine article).  [[User:Philip J.
