Changes

I know of no evidence that Wikipedia has helped a single student in any meaningful way.

:::Wikipedia isn't supposed to have lectures and model answers for one.  Its an open encyclopedia that anyone can edit.  Unlike this one, which is used as a tool for teaching homeschool kids.  Wikipedia isnt out to change the world into something conservative or liberal, its there to be a quick look up for random information.  DerekE, If a student used wikipedia as a reference in one of my classes i would fail them too.  Same if they used conservapedia...or metapedia or any other wiki type thing.  They are not good sources, if you want to cite something use the original source.--[[User:JAiken|JAiken]] 18:22, 10 December 2009 (EST)

::::That's simply false.  Wikipedia ''is'' propagating liberal falsehoods and censoring conservative truths, as illustrated by [[Bias in Wikipedia]].  One of the entries on that list discusses how Wikipedia editors have been 6 times more liberal than the general public.

::::If Wikipedia were designed to help people as Conservapedia does, it would be very different indeed.  Instead, I know of no evidence that Wikipedia has helped a single student in any meaningful way.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 18:28, 10 December 2009 (EST)
