Wikipedia has been accused by Conservapedia of many biased entries. The article detailing these is found here: [[Examples of Bias in Wikipedia]]. Wikipedia aims to reperesent a neutral point of view - a neutral point of view is a fundamental Wikipedia principle - however, this does not always happen, partly due to Wikipedia's open nature, sometimes being accused of having 'ingrained' liberal bias.

In fact Wikipedia really has some articles with bias. In Wikipedia this biases are called "POV articles" (Point of view). Wikipedia aims for articles with a neutral point of few. Anyone who discovers an article that does not have a neutral point of view is encouraged to remove the bias and adding facts.

 

While the Wikipedia aims for a non biased approach, this site (Conservapedia) specifically aims for "a conservative encyclopedia".  The Wikipedia lays out many style guides, to try and get a consistent and unbiased writing style.  Though this is not always perfect (because of free editing) it does lay much better foundations that the Conservapedia which merely asks for consistent use of dates and American English.
