#Noting that Al Gore's 2009 statement that he won a 2007 British court case about [[An Inconvenient Truth]] ran contrary to the actual ruling and, especially, the judge's statement that the claimant won the case against the film is considered "original research" and "POV" on Wikipedia.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dimmock_v_Secretary_of_State_for_Education_and_Skills&diff=302098981&oldid=302092626</ref>

#[[Wikipedia]] often treats [[conservative]] figures and sites with contempt, characteristic of the liberal [[double standard]].  Compare, for example, Wikipedia's smear of Conservapedia<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservapedia</ref> with its straightforward description of Scholarpedia.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholarpedia</ref>

#[[Wikipedia]] completely omits [[Conservapedia]] from Wikipedia's ranking of the largest wikis,<ref>http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_wikis</ref> even though Conservapedia easily qualifies.  Wikipedia's [[censorship]] of Conservapedia from that entry remains even after the exposure of this bias.
   
#[[Wikipedia]] cites vulgar blogs and liberal rants as though they are encyclopedic authorities.  For example, its entry about [[Conservapedia]] claims that "[s]everal articles on the site have reputations for bias and inaccuracy,"<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservapedia</ref> but its citations for that falsehood consist of a vulgar blog, a liberal rant, and an article that takes a neutral position.  None of Wikipedia's three "authorities" make any statement about the "reputation" of Conservapedia as Wikipedia claims.

#[[Wikipedia]] bias against [[movement conservative]]s is intense.  [[Michele Bachmann]] won reelection in 2008 by 3% in a state that went heavily [[Democratic]], but instead of crediting her [[conservative]] positions the biased Wikipedia entry states, "Despite fallout from controversial statements that she had made, Bachmann defeated her Democratic opponent Elwyn Tinklenberg in the 2008 election."<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_Bachmann#cite_ref-33</ref>
