Conservapedia is an English-language wiki-based web encyclopedia project with the stated purpose of creating an encyclopedia written from a socially- and economically-conservative viewpoint supportive of Conservative Christianity.[1][2][3] Many of its articles[2][3] support the Young Earth creationism point of view.[4] Andrew Schlafly, the site's creator and son of conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly, stated that he founded the project because he felt Wikipedia had a liberal, anti-Christian, and anti-American bias.[5][6] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ... “URL” redirects here. ...

According to the site's FAQ, Conservapedia originated as a project for homeschooled children, who wrote most of the initial entries.[7] Schlafly has said that he hopes the site becomes a general resource for United States teachers and works as a general counterpoint to the liberal bias he perceives in Wikipedia.[1][7] Conservapedia is not affiliated with Wikipedia or Wikipedia's umbrella organization, the Wikimedia Foundation, although both sites use the free MediaWiki software. In addition to its role as a Christian-Conservative encyclopedia, Conservapedia is also used by Schlafly's "Eagle Forum University" program. Material for various online courses (e.g., American history) is stored on the site.[2][8][9] Eagle Forum University is associated with Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum.[2] FAQ is an abbreviation for Frequently Asked Question(s).

Conservapedia and Wikipedia - editorial conflicts

Conservapedia stated a need for an alternative to Wikipedia when it launched its online encyclopedia project due to editorial philosophy conflicts. Conservapedia's editorial policies are guided by Conservapedia Commandments, while Wikipedia's editorial policies are guided by a range of policies including neutral point of view (NPOV), Verifiability, No Original Research and attribution.[11][12][13][14] In contrast to Wikipedia's stated policy of neutrality, Schlafly has stated that "It's impossible for an encyclopedia to be neutral. I mean let's take a point of view, let's disclose that point of view to the reader."[3] With regards to attribution, Schlafly has indicated that Conservapedia has not adopted what he considers "Wikipedia's complex copyright rules," adding that Conservapedia "reserves the right to object to copying of its materials."[15] Shortcut: WP:NPOV Wikipedia policy is that all articles should be written from a neutral point of view. ... Shortcut: WP:NOR Wikipedia is not the place for original research such as new theories. ... Shortcut: WP:A WP:A does not stand for Wikipedia:Administrators. ... “GFDL” redirects here. ...


Religion and science

One example of article content differences stemming from editorial philosophy conflicts is evolution. Conservapedia presents the theory of evolution as lacking support. It states that creationists, creation scientists and some secular science journals state that it is in conflict with the majority of evidence[16] whereas Wikipedia presents evolution as a biological process defined by observable, empirical, and measurable evidence, subject to specific principles of reasoning.[17][18][19] The site also criticizes the theory of relativity, suggesting that academicians who question the theory suffer for their beliefs.[20] Such accusations are not found in Wikipedia's article.[21] This article is about evolution in biology. ... Creationism is generally the belief that the universe was created by a deity, or alternatively by one or more powerful and intelligent beings. ... Creation scientists are active members of the technical and scientific community who are convinced that the popular assumptive positions of Darwinian evolution are not fully supported by modern discoveries, methodologies, observations, or artifacts. ... In physics, particularly in quantum physics, a system observable is a property of the system state that can be determined by some sequence of physical operations. ... A central concept in science and the scientific method is that all evidence must be empirical, or empirically based, that is, dependent on evidence or consequences that are observable by the senses. ... In mathematics, a measure is a function that assigns a number, e. ... Reasoning is the mental (cognitive) process of looking for reasons to support beliefs, conclusions, actions or feelings. ... Two-dimensional analogy of space-time curvature described in General Relativity. ...


Conservapedia's controversial views of science are not limited to the topic of biological evolution and relativity. Widely disseminated examples of Conservapedia articles that contradict the scientific consensus include the claims that all kangaroos descend from a single pair that were taken aboard Noah's Ark. Schlafly defended the article as presenting a valid alternative to evolution.[22] Another claim is that "Einstein's work had nothing to do with the development of the atomic bomb."[1][23][24][25][26][27] An entry on the "Pacific Northwest Arboreal Octopus" has received particular attention, a page which Schlafly has asserted was intended as a parody of environmentalism.[24] As of March 4, 2007, the entry has been deleted.[28] Science writer Carl Zimmer points out that much of what appears to be inaccurate or inadequate information about science and scientific theory can be traced back to an over-reliance on citations from the works of home-schooling textbook author Dr. Jay L. Wile.[29] Its true that everything old is new again which is why youre once again seeing people wearing KangaROOS shoes. ...

Politics

Another example is Wikipedia's article on the Democratic Party, which refers to the party's historical origins. Schlafly has claimed this is an "attempt to legitimize the modern Democratic Party by going back to Thomas Jefferson" and that it is "specious and worth criticizing."[3] Federal courts Supreme Court Circuit Courts of Appeal District Courts Elections Presidential elections Midterm elections Political Parties Democratic Republican Third parties State & Local government Governors Legislatures (List) State Courts Local Government Other countries Atlas  Politics Portal      Further information: Politics of the United States#Organization of American political parties The Democratic...


Patriotism

Conservapedia interpreted the policy allowing both British English and American English spelling[32] as anti-American bias and had a policy that only allowed for American spelling on the site. Conservapedia's logo, which appears in the top left hand corner of every page (where the Wikipedia logo appears on Wikipedia pages), uses the flag of the United States. British English (BrE, BE, en-GB) is the broad term used to distinguish the forms of the English language used in the United Kingdom from forms used elsewhere in the Anglophone world. ... For other uses, see American English (disambiguation). ...


Andrew Schlafly on Wikipedia

Schlafly said,

"Wikipedia does not poll the views of its editors and administrators. They make no effort to retain balance. It ends up having all the neutrality of a lynch mob." [33]

In a March 2007 interview with The Guardian newspaper, Schlafly stated, "I've tried editing Wikipedia, and found it and the biased editors who dominate it censor or change facts to suit their views. In one case my factual edits were removed within 60 seconds — so editing Wikipedia is no longer a viable approach."[1] On March 7, 2007 Schlafly was interviewed on BBC Radio 4's flagship morning show, Today, opposite Wikipedia administrator Jim Redmond. Schlafly raised several concerns: that the article on the Renaissance does not give any credit to Christianity, that many Wikipedia articles use non-American spellings even though most users are American, that the article on American activities in the Philippines has a distinctly anti-American bias, and that attempts to include pro-Christian or pro-American views are removed very quickly.[34] Conservapedia has asserted that Wikipedia is "six times more liberal than the American public", a statistic which has been criticized for its unscientific derivation.[35] [7] An opinion poll is a survey of opinion from a particular sample. ...

Reactions and criticisms

Creationism, conservatism, and bias

Wikipedia's co-creator Jimmy Wales has stated that he has no objections to the project stating "free culture knows no bounds" while acknowledging that sites such as Conservapedia are in line with Wikipedia's goals, [36] though he has denied Schlafly's claims of bias on Wikipedia.[7] The Conservapedia project has come under significant criticism by the general public for factual inaccuracies[37][38] [25][39] and factual relativism.[25] Conservapedia has also been compared to CreationWiki, a wiki written from the perspective of creationism.[24] Jimmy Donal Jimbo Wales, (born August 7, 1966)[2] is an American Internet entrepreneur best known for his role in founding Wikipedia, as well as other wiki-related projects, including the charitable organization Wikimedia Foundation, and the for-profit company Wikia, Inc. ... It is proposed that this article be deleted, because of the following concern: Term is a neologism If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming or merging the page, please edit this page and do so. ... Creationism is a religious belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their original form by a deity or deities (often the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam), whose existence is presupposed. ...


Tom Flanagan, a conservative professor of political science at the University of Calgary, has argued that Conservapedia is more about religion than conservatism and that it "is far more guilty of the crime they're attributing to Wikipedia [than Wikipedia itself.]"[7] Its scope as an encyclopedia is limited: According to the founders, it "offers a historical record from a Christian and conservative perspective."[40] This has been reported by some to be representative of Conservapedia's own problem with bias.[41] Thomas Eugene Flanagan is an American-born writer and professor of political science at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. ... Arch marking south entrance to campus during the winter. ... Cyclopedia redirects here. ... For other senses of this word, see bias (disambiguation). ...


The project has also been criticized for promoting a dichotomy between conservatism and liberalism and for promoting the false dilemma that there "often are two equally valid interpretations of the facts."[25] A dichotomy is a division into two non-overlapping or mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive parts. ... The form of the fallacy of false dichotomy as an argument map with the conclusion at the top of the tree. ...


Conservapedia, and more specifically its article on homosexuality,[42] was discussed and lampooned by comedian Lewis Black on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on June 27, 2007, being compared to the Wikipedia article of the same name, ending with Black stating "On Conservapedia, Gay sounds much more interesting." For the documentary about Jerry Seinfeld, see Comedian (film). ... Lewis Niles Black (born August 30, 1948) is a Grammy Award-winning American stand-up comedian, author, playwright, and actor. ... The Daily Show (currently The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) is a Peabody and Emmy Award-winning American satirical television program produced by and airing on Comedy Central. ...

Year 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era in the 21st century. ...


On March 19, 2007, the British free newspaper Metro, ran the article Weird, wild wiki on which anything goes which articulated the Academy of Science in Britain's dismissal of Conservapedia, saying "People need to be very careful about where they look for scientific information."[4] is the 78th day of the year (79th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era in the 21st century. ... Cover for an issue of the Metro newspaper, October 25th 2004. ...


Censorship

Entries' record show how quickly dissenting views are deleted. Peter Lipson, a doctor of internal medicine, attempted to edit the article on breast cancer to include evidence against Conservapedia's statement that abortion raises a woman's health risks, but found his medical credentials being questioned by the site's sysops, and Schlafly himself. His edits were quickly deleted, and Schlafly and the other administrators ended the debate by blocking Lipson's account.[43] Doctors of internal medicine (internists) are medical specialists who focus on adult medicine and have had special study and training focusing on the prevention and treatment of adult diseases. ... Breast cancer is cancer of breast tissue. ...


After being blocked for his edits, Lipson and several other editors started a rival website, RationalWiki, from which they monitor and comment on Conservapedia, and - by their own admission - coordinate vandalism of Schafly's site.[43] Wired magazine reported that Conservapedia was "attracting lots of derisive comments on blogs and a growing number of phony articles written by mischief makers." [44] Iain Thomson, writing in Information World Review, has written that "leftist subversives" may have been creating deliberate parody entries.[23] Information World Review is an English information industry trade newspaper which probably deserves more than a crappy one liner article. ...


Licensing of content

The project is not licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) or a similar copyleft license. Jimmy Wales has raised concerns about this, stating that "People who contribute [to Conservapedia] are giving them full control of the content, which may lead to unpleasant results".[7] Instead, Conservapedia allows users to "use any of the content on this site with or without attribution." However, the copyright policy also states "This license is revocable only in very rare instances of self-defense, such as protecting continued use by Conservapedia editors or other licensees."[45] “GFDL” redirects here. ... The reversed c in a full circle is the copyleft symbol. ...


Conservapedia does not allow users to use Wikipedia content or mirrors as a reference,[46] specifically listing the practice as a violation of its first commandment.[11] The exception to this commandment is "It is appropriate to quote or cite Wikipedia to illustrate the liberal view of an issue."
