Wackypedia (Wikipedia) prefers B.C.E. instead of B.C. and C.E. instead of A.D. The dates are based on the birth of Jesus, so why pretend otherwise and try to censor anything Christian? Conservapedia is Christian-friendly.

The entry for the Renaissance in Wikipedia refuses to give any credit to Christianity.

Wikipedia often uses foreign spelling of words, even though most users are American. The entry for Hapsburg (the ruling family) changes the spelling to Habsburg, even though the American spelling has always been "Hapsburg". Often British spellings of words (e.g., "favour") are used even when the topic is American. That's silly. Conservapedia favors American spellings of words.

The entry for the Spanish Golden Age does not tell the reader when it occurred.

Gossip and vulgarity are pervasive on Wikipedia. Conservapedia avoids these like a true encyclopedia.

Edits to include facts against the theory of evolution are almost immediately censored. On Conservapedia, contributions that fit the above guidelines are respected to the maximum extent possible.

Wikipedia removed and permanently blocked a page identifying its many biases.

Wikipedia has an entry describing Demopedia, which at last count had only 141 entries. Conservapedia has over ten times as many entries, yet Wikipedia insists on censoring the Conservapedia entry in Wikipedia.

For its entry "indentured servitude," Wikipedia erroneously claims it occurred in the 16th century, when it was actually the 17th century. And Wikipedia omits any reference to Bacon's Rebellion, the key event in the history of indentured servitude.

Wikipedia has many entries on "concession", but none explaining its main historical meaning (from imperialism).

Wikipedia is atheist! They allow everyone to edit, so people of other religions than christian can edit it.
