Wikipedia is a free content online encyclopedia established on January 15, 2001. It currently has over 6 million articles, written in 250 languages[1] on various topics. Like Conservapedia, it is a wiki that is written and edited by its users. Under its GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), anyone can add to or edit the content on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia and Bias

Conservapedia has an article that argues that Wikipedia has a liberal bias. This list shows some examples of this alleged bias.

Wikipedia and Homosexuality

Of approximately 3 million Wikipedia editors, about 250 of them [1] have posted on their user pages statements that they identify themselves as "gay."

Many of Wikipedia's entries on topics such as "Anal Sex" describe it frankly and misrepresent the Bible and other fundamental religious teachings as "outdated" or "fables".

More recently, one of Wikipedia's self-proclaimed homosexual editors and admins, Essjay, was exposed as a fraud and had misrepresented his credentials, claiming to have four PhD degrees in religion.

The site also publishes images with many of these articles which are not suitable for young people and border on pornographic materials. One example of this bias is the article on the Famous Greek hero "Achilles". This article attempts to represent that Achilles was a homosexual and had a homosexual relationship with "Patracolus", his servant. Some of Wikipedia's "out" historical and other figures based upon questionable evidence.
