Debate:Is it okay for Conservapedia to have biased articles? (view source)

One of the good things that Conservapedia has done is to make Wikipedia look at some of its own practices and articles. However, this ability to critique Wikipedia and affect changes is completely dependent upon Conservapedia being regarded as a creditable site. As Conservapedia becomes more biased and more fringe (further from the open ideals of being able to edit articles on a wiki and with more extreme conservative rhetoric), its impact upon Wikipedia becomes lost and it becomes more of a target of mockery. It may not be possible to completely remove the conservative bias from the articles, but one would hope that this bias is not written into the article. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 15:42, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

:The goal is to write the best articles humanly possible. Every editor has a set of bias, and should try to prevent them from seeping into the articles. We need to be honest with ourselves and with the public, not just crafty in hiding an effort to manipulate public opinion. [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 07:52, 21 July 2012 (EDT)
