Conservapedia

From Metapedia

Conservapedia is a wiki-based encyclopedia project with the stated purpose of creating an encyclopedia written from a socially and economically conservative viewpoint supportive of Conservative Christianity and Young Earth creationism. Andrew Schlafly, the site's creator and son of noted conservative Phyllis Schlafly, stated he founded the project because he felt Wikipedia had a liberal, anti-Christian, and anti-American bias. The articles are for the most part politically correct and Neoconservative in outlook and the main purpose of the site seems to be support for the Republican Party (GOP), Zionism and the administration of President George W. Bush.

According to the site's FAQ, Conservapedia originated as a project for homeschooled children, who wrote most of the initial entries. 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. 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 an 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. Eagle Forum University is associated with Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum. Conservapedia does not allow users to copy content from Wikipedia (or use Wikipedia or Wikipedia mirror sites as a reference, specifically listing the practice as a violation of its first Conservapedia Commandment.

They also have a secret set of rules. If they find that an editor has racial consciousness, they will ban that editor.^[1] It is clear from this that - far from being the great supporter of Christian values which they claim to be - they are, in fact, just another attempt to suppress the real Biblical truth about the differences between the races.

As of late July 2007, the site estimated that it contained about 15,600 articles. Additionally, the site had 9,000 registered usernames of which about 4,000 were permanently blocked.

Conservapedia's earliest articles date from November 22, 2006.
