Anyone who thinks that wikipedia is a "liberal encyclopedia" obviously doesn't really use it or any other reference source very much. How many of the hundreds of thousands of entries even have the possibility of being biased politically? It's easy to tell that you have no curiosity about science, music, geography, most historical and biographical topics, or much of anything.

Yes, there are problems with a tiny percentage of controversial wikipedia entries, and I have seen some bias and vandalism from both sides. Wikipedia is a work in progress. But it is one of the truly wonderful things to come along on the internet.

There currently exists a group of people who seem to have a goal of destroying wikipedia just because they enjoy mindless destruction. Some of these people come to Freerepublic and attempt to recruit assistance without stating their true purpose.

Unfortunately, politics is everything to some people.

I think two of them are posting on this thread.
