Line 3: − The charge, by the creators of Conservapedia, of Wikipedia exhibiting a liberal bias is an example of an attribution error. Since Wikipedia is used and edited by people all over the world, casting its veracity in terms of American political factions is largely meaningless. −

==Wikipedia and Bias==
==Wikipedia and Bias==
Wikipedia has been accused by Conservapedia of many biased entries. The article detailing these is found here: [[Examples of Bias in Wikipedia]]. Wikipedia aims to reperesent a neutral point of view - a neutral point of view is a fundamental Wikipedia principle - however, there are a few articles that do not represent the neutral point of view. This happens partly due to Wikipedia's open nature, sometimes being accused by Conservapedians of having 'ingrained' liberal bias. Due to the open nature anyone who finds a biased article is encouraged to change the article to a neurtal point of view. This accidental bias differs from the Conservapedia, that defines itself as "a conservative encyclopedia" so will aim to be biased to the right.
