| − | : You made a mistake in mathematics, using obscure numbers. And you are unable to see that some of just want to prevent that Conservapedia and its editors look like fools, because they don't know how to do statistics. You don't solve this by calling anybody ''liberal''. Or did you call your math teacher also ''liberal' when he pointed you to a mistake you made. You are just feeding the liberal trolls with this behavior. It has been said over and over again. Your list on bias is better and stronger without this point. | + | :: You made a mistake in mathematics, using obscure numbers.

| − | : But as I said at another place, I do understand why you have to stick to this claim about the six times more liberal because ti became kind of the sloagan of this site. Even in the NPR interview your very first point was "Wikipedia has a liberal bias that is about six times greater than the level of liberal bias in the American public, according to studies that we've done." Now that you made this claim prominently on National radio you probably feel like you cannot withdraw it anymore.-- [[User:Order|Order]] 16 March 2007, 18:20 (AEST) | + | :: But as I said at another place, I do understand why you have to stick to this claim about the six times more liberal because ti became kind of the slogan of this site.

So my guess is that the general Wikipedia contributor population isn't quite as skewed as the graph suggests. But if there's any skew in the general Wiki population, it probably lies in this direction: left on economic issues, libertarian on social issues.}} | | {{QuoteBox|The sample is self-selected, and Karmafist identifies himself as a Democrat and has occasionally clashed with Wikipedia authority.

| | :Funny how you magically leave out all the parts about "probably", "isn't quite as skewed" and so on. But whatever. You like numbers when they say what you want. I can't wait to see how you phrase this on the Bias page, it should be highly entertaining :) --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 15:46, 16 March 2007 (EDT) | | :Funny how you magically leave out all the parts about "probably", "isn't quite as skewed" and so on.
