This is a draft for a new proposed copy of the article [[conservapedia]].
'''Conservapedia''' is an online wiki-based [[encyclopedia]] launched on November 21, 2006 written from a [[conservatism|conservative]] point of view created by [[teacher]] and [[attorney]] [[Andrew Schlafly]]. The encyclopedia was created to counter what Schlafly considered to be anti-conservative and anti-Christian bias in [[Wikipedia]]-for example, Wikipedia uses the markings [[CE]] and BCE instead of AD and BC for time. As of 2013, Conservapedia has been ranked the 88th most popular website written from a [[conservative]] point of view, according to Alexa rankings. <ref>http://www.redflagnews.com/top-100-conservative/</ref>

== History ==
Conservapedia was created by [[Andrew Schlafly]], a law attorney and homeschool teacher who graduated from Harvard. <ref>http://www.eagleforumu.org/EAGLEFORUMU/INSTRUCTOR/VIEW.cfm?int_instructor_id=7&INT_COURSE_ID=23&bln_registered=1</ref> Schlafly created the encyclopedia after some of his students used the [[Common Era]] system rather than the Christian Anno Domini system in history projects because they researched using Wikipedia, an example of [[liberal bias]] present on Wikipedia. Students using Conservapedia were encouraged to write short articles on Ancient History, which later were expanded into what Schlafly saw as fair and scholarly articles written from a [[conservative]] point of view. <ref>http://articles.latimes.com/2007/jun/19/nation/na-schlafly19</ref>
