Talk:Examples of Bias in Wikipedia (view source)
Revision as of 01:52, April 5, 2007
, 01:52, April 5, 2007→...and about the math...: Math!
:::: I am not doubting that Wikipedia has a liberal bias. I am doubting that it is 6x more liberal than the United States. I am calling into question the math that generates that number and ignores the majority of American voters. I am calling into question what 'liberal' means to a person in another country. To compare a self selected poll to one that is done with proper statistical background is folly. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 21:49, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

:::::Bloody h***. Why won't you people admit that 3:1/1:2≈2.25? It's not "liberal math", there's no such thing, it's simply ''math''. Math is a bloody fact, not a point of view.
::Furthermore, "liberal bias" on Wikipedia is not defined by the number of liberals in the group, it is defined by the liberal bias of their edits. If you claim that liberals can't edit without significant bias, than you claim that conservatives can't either. --[[User:Linus M.|Liπus the Turbogeek]]<sup>([[User talk:Linus M.|contact me]])</sup> 21:52, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
