→‎Wikipedia six times more liberal than public?

Line 491: Line 491:

::Here is what the currently entry states at: [[Examples of Bias in Wikipedia]]

::"Polls show that about twice as many Americans identify themselves as "conservative" compared with "liberal", and that ratio has been increasing for two decades.[4] But on Wikipedia, about three times as many editors identify themselves as "liberal" compared with "conservative".[5] That suggests Wikipedia is six times more liberal than the American public."

::So the 6 times figure appears to be mathematically '''incorrect'''. I am going to change the entry temporarily to: "This suggest that Wikipedia is far more liberal than the American public." [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 22:03, 9 March 2007 (EST)conservative
