shouldn't conservatives take notice…or better yet, action?

It's not a bad idea, but the fact is liberals have nothing better to do than keep going back to pages and re-editing them. Most of the time they don't even offer a biased re-edit. They just erase your new text.

You are right. Those who are in the "circle of friends" can revert, edit, do whatever without any real debate or explanation unless they are egregious. A new editor's contribution is at the whim of the powers that be.

I finally quit when I fought someone inserting an anti-Iraq war screed into the article about the long-dead J. William Fulbright, positing that he would be against it. My argument was that J. William Fulbright was DEAD long BEFORE the war and that an encyclopedia had no business channeling the dead. I got no support for that position. However, if I had channeled Thomas Jefferson and posited that he would have been for the war, it would have been reverted as foolishness without any consideration whatsoever.

It's pointless. The Wikipedia community has a view of what reality is and they are much more leery of facts that tend to oppose that view than they are of facts that tend to support it.
