The errors are not piddling and on any topic with political overtones, the bias is light years away from scattered; it's real< it"s overwhelming, and it's in your face.
There are three possible responses to this:
1. Get as organized and dedicated as the left-wingers editing the pages are and fight back.
2. Shrug it off and pick other battles to fight.
3. Piss, moan, and generally take your ball and go home, resulting in embarrassments like Conservapedia.
I really don't get this whole complaint. What are you folks expecting? All entries edited by Kristinn or Jim Robinson?
I bring my own personal critical thinking skills to every word I read, including every word on this thread, every word on the net, and every word in every book, including ones written by FA Hayek or Russell Kirk.
Each one of us brings a unique perspective to every issue, and rather than expecting agreement most of the time, I expect that I need to work hard to get my own voice heard in the jostle of competing perspectives. That's life!
Wikipedia brings me a tremendous wealth of information on a range of topics that far outstrip anything I can find on Free Republic. I've learned an enormous amount of uncontestable facts from hundreds, if not thousands (by now), entries I've read there. It's a fabulous resource.
And if I see BS at Wikipedia, I simply call BS, just as I do when I apply my unique flavor of critical thinking skills to any other word I might read at any other location.
