And yet again, mainstream thought must branded being 'conservative' and forbidden from being in the center, but labeled and pushed off to the side. This is a step back for those many who have tried, time and time again, to bring articles back into balance on Wikipedia - there's now an excuse to give up, and less of a reason for the editors of Wikipedia to respect opinions of others - after all, they can go somewhere else.

This will just make Wikipedia even worse than it is.

Not anytime soon

"In terms of traffic Alexa ranks Wikipedia 11th while Conservapedia is ranked 59587th. " Wikipedia vs Conservapedia

And a lot of that traffic is gawkers going to see what absurd stuff is posted on Conservapedia (They finally removed the article on the Pacific NorthWest Arboreal Octopus (very popular item http://www.conservapedia.com/Pacific_Northwest_Arboreal_Octopus this page has been accessed 13662 times) - But its tracks can still be found on Google)
