:: We've discussed how Wikipedia will leave up some "vandalism", while reverting others.  It's an example of Wikipedia's bias how some vandalism will remain while others are reverted immediately.  You can bet many editors saw that edit during the nine days it remained, and left it there.  It's irrelevant whether an outsider could have reverted it; the point here is to illustrate the bias of the editors who run Wikipedia.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 09:17, 26 October 2008 (EDT)

::: It was a redirect page.  Very few editors have redirect pages on their watchlist.  Vandalism to a redirect page could go unnoticed for some time.  Furthermore, it was vandalism by an IP, so there is no basis for saying that the editors who "run" Wikipedia had anything to do with it.  [[User:Philip J.

:::: Many editors in control of Wikipedia watch the recent changes and revert nearly all vandalism immediately.  But as this (and other) examples illustrate, some liberal vandalism is left unreverted by those editors.

:::: This is a clear example of liberal bias at Wikipedia.  Admittedly, bias-by-omission is slightly more abstract than bias-by-action, but the point is precisely the same and it's a mistake to exclude this type of illustration of liberal bias.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 10:12, 26 October 2008 (EDT)
