Below is a growing list of examples of liberal bias, deceit, frivolous gossip, and blatant errors on Wikipedia. The atheist Jimmy Wales was a lead founder of Wikipedia. Christian apologist JP Holding called Wikipedia "the abomination that causes misinformation".[1]
Examples of Bias
General/Uncategorized
Take a look at the WP article for the John Birch Society and associated discussion page on Wikipedia, regarding the labeling of the JBS as being "radical right-wing". Any attempts to remove "radical" are quickly reverted by the liberal gatekeepers, and the editor warned or banned. Now take a look at the article for Code Pink. (considered by many as "radical left wing"). Any attempts there to label them as a "radical" group are quickly removed, and the editors again banned or chastised by liberal watchdogs.
So the label "radical" is perfectly acceptable to describe a tame right-wing outfit, but is unacceptable to describe a left-wing group that has used radical tactics.

The issue seems to be because there is an descriptive article where liberal gatekeepers are responsible for "defining" what "radical right-wing" means, but not a matching one that has been successfully created for "radical left-wing", where Code Pink would likely fall. There is only a more tame "far-left" to use, which stops short of radical left-wing tactics--CenterRight 19:33, 31 December 2010 (EST)

An article entitled Wikipedia Gridlocked by Wikipedia Nerds declared:
“ So who are these Gatekeepers to all the internet's knowledge? A survey the foundation conducted last year determined that the average age of an editor is 26.8 years, and that 87% of them are men.
” Song excerpt
“ All of my action figures are Cherry, Stephen Hawking's in my library....
I edit Wikipedia...I'm nerdy in the extreme, whiter than sour cream...
They see me strollin', they're laughin' And rollin' their eyes cause I'm so White and nerdy". - White and Nerdy, Weird Al Yankovic[3]
