number 15 is
Wikipedia claims about 1.5 million articles, but what it does not say is that a large number of those articles have zero educational value. For example, Wikipedia has 1075 separate articles about "Moby" and "song".[14] Many hundreds of thousands of Wikipedia articles -- perhaps over half its website -- are about music, Hollywood, and other topics beneath a regular encyclopedia. This reflects a bias towards popular gossip rather than helpful or enlightening information.
now WIKI stands for What I Know Is
and i thought the point of the website was to gather information on everything
now there might be a loophole in the english language i don't know about but i believe popular culture, or gossip as the site puts it, comes under the term everything.

How can you complain about a bias on a site anyone can edit?

Just fucking edit it yourself.

#  Polls show that about twice as many Americans identify themselves as "conservative" compared with "liberal", and that ratio has been increasing for two decades.[1] But on Wikipedia, about three times as many editors identify themselves as "liberal" compared with "conservative".[2] That suggests Wikipedia is six times more liberal than the American public.
I love how Amero-centric it is, as if the proportion of Americans who are liberal or conservative has anything to do with how biased towards either a web encyclopedia is. Note once again, Americans and their ratios do not control the world, or the internet.

SMH.com, the Sydney Morning Herald's website, cited conservapedia as a website set up for helping the education of home-schooled children.

Another of the reasons was "the use of 'english' spelling as opposed to 'US' spelling in a lot of the articles".

I take stuff like this about as seriously as the Westboro Baptist Church. And tagging an entire political group by what one website has to say is enormously stupid.

Wikipedia allows the use of 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? Conservapedia is Christian-friendly and exposes the CE deception.
I agree that 'Before Christ' sounds cooler than 'Before Common Era.' Is there a comic called 'B.C.E.'? A movie called '1 Million Years B.C.E.'? I think not. I also agree that Wikipedia does have its problems, and that there are people who lurk there who have nothing better to do than engage in constant edit wars...but is Wikipedia really that much of a universal information compendium to get upset about? Why worry about it? Buy your own personal media if you don't like it.
