NO

Wikipedia is accused of having a left tilt, and the remedy is not a competing site with a right tilt, but a competing site with the hard truth, properly documented. Teresita 12:27, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Right on. If you see a bias on Conservapedia it is only you liberal nature exerting itselfRebiu 15:17, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Yes

If it's a bias in favor of good things like Christianity and the American Dream (see Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech), then I see nothing wrong with bias. --Ed Poor 12:24, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

What is this "The American Dream" accoridng to Ed Poor? Martin Luther King was NOTa conservative and I resent your citing his work on my beloved Conservapedia.Rebiu 15:14, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

It's a meaningless question

Whether or not it's okay, there *will* be biased articles. This is inevitable, particularly given the set up here and the nature of the sysops; and even without them, it's not possible. One person's hard truth, properly documented is someone else's conjecture and lies (see any of the the evolution/creation pages on here as evidence) Chrysogonus 12:36, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Bias and Credibility

One of the good things that Conservapedia has done is to make Wikipedia look at some of its own practices and articles. However, this ability to critique Wikipedia and affect changes is completely dependent upon Conservapedia being regarded as a creditable site. As Conservapedia becomes more biased and more fringe (further from the open ideals of being able to edit articles on a wiki and with more extreme conservative rhetoric), its impact upon Wikipedia becomes lost and it becomes more of a target of mockery. It may not be possible to completely remove the conservative bias from the articles, but one would hope that this bias is not written into the article. --Mtur 15:42, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
