:::: Folks, I've asked someone to propose a different definition of liberal bias.  My definition makes the most sense because its scale is from 0 to infinity, like the Kelvin temperature scale preferred by scientists.  No one has proposed a plausible alternative scale for liberal bias.  Based on the obvious definition, my math is correct.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 20:56, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

::::: What kind of argument is this? It scales from 0 to infinity? There are many continuous monotonous functions that have an [0, infinity] range. Actually, there are infinitely many. There are even uncountably many. --[[User:Order|Order] 18 March,  14:00 (AEST)

::::* First, you use raw numbers of a self selected group to come to do your statistics. Any conclusion drawn from is speculative at best. A non-no in statistics 101.

::::* You simple forget about the 40% moderates in the Harris poll.  Your stament '''six time more liberal than American public''' compares liberals to the American public as a whole, including moderates, your math however doesn't count moderates.

::::* What you need to compare, if anything, compare the percentages of the overall population. Because with your math it doesn't matter if there are 66% conservatives in a population vs 33% liberals, or 12% vs 6%, or two conservatives vs one liberal.

* What you need to campare is the percentage of liberals in America vs the percentage of liberally biased articles in Wikipedia. To obtain an estimate for the latter just look at 100 random pages (or better 1000), and count the pages that have a liberal bias. Done. --[[User:Order|Order] 18 March,  12:10 (AEST)
