No encyclopedia should be used in research
==Use in research==
You say: "I would not currently use many of the articles in a piece of research due to this bias."
Goodness, I hope you would not use ''any'' encyclopedia in a piece of research. Not Conservapedia, not Wikipedia, not the Encyclopædia Britannica. None of them are acceptable references. They are at best useful for acquiring background in an unknown area, but they are secondary sources at best. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 13:08, 25 March 2007 (EDT)
