If twice as many Americans identify Conservative as opposed to Liberal, that's a 2:1 ratio.  1/3rd (33%) of Americans would therefore be Liberal.  If thrice as many Wikipedians identify as Liberal, it's a 3:1 ratio.  3/4ths (75%) of Wikipedians would be liberal.  This is fourth grade math.

: If you look at the poll numbers you will find that only 18% are liberal, 34% conservative, and 40% moderate. [[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] forgot about the moderates as well in his calculation. Yet another self-inflicted black-eye. --[[User:Order|Order]] 16:03, 15 March 2007 (AEST)

It's actually therefore only 225% as Liberal by volume, just over '''twice''' as liberal.  Nowhere ''near'' six times.  All this aside from the unreliability of the Wikipedia "Poll".  Frankly, to use these user tags is even less accurate than counting bumper stickers on your daily commute insofar as statistical accuracy is concerned.  In fact, given the contention here that Wikipedia is, in fact, biased, doesn't it ''stand to reason'' that conservative editors would be less likely to make a point of their political leanings, to avoid the hypothetical consequences?  This would skew the data even further.
