1.  We are an educational resource, including lectures and study guides, and we welcome students and adults seeking to learn.  Wikipedia has no lectures or study guides and many of its entries and discussions are anti-intellectual in nature.

2.  We encourage conciseness here, like a true encyclopedia.  Wikipedia implicitly encourages (through its use of stubs) long-winded, verbose entries, making it difficult to recognize the essential facts.

2.  We are a genuine volunteer effort unaffiliated with any money-making scheme.  Wikipedia, while relying on volunteers, uses its traffic to attract million-dollar investments in money-making projects, such as building a search engine.

3.  We do not allow gossip, just as a real encyclopedia avoids it.

4.  We do not allow opinions of journalists to be repeated here as though they are facts.  Instead, we require authoritative support.  Wikipedia presents as facts numerous assertions that are based merely on journalists' (biased) opinion.

5.  We do not allow obscenity, while Wikipedia has many entries unsuitable for children.  Wikipedia has pornographic images, without meaningful warning.

6.  We do not attempt to be neutral to all points of view.  We are neutral to the facts.  If a group is a terrorist group, then we use the label "terrorist" but Wikipedia will use the "neutral" term "militant".

7.  We allow broader reuse of our material than Wikipedia does.  Wikipedia claims to allow free use of its material, but in fact it is burdensome to comply with Wikipedia's complex copyright restrictions.

8.  We do not allow liberal censorship of conservative facts. Wikipedia editors who are far more liberal than the American public frequently censor factual information.  Conservapedia does not censor any facts that comport with the basic [[rules]].

10.  We respect users' control over their own talk pages as much as possible.  Wikipedia treats users' own talk pages like community property belonging to everyone, and it becomes a place for Wikipedia editors to bully users.
