Here is the FR thread on this subject dayglored:

Ah, that one, I remember that one.
There have been many such tempests in a teapot. What lqclamar didn't want to admit was that Wikipedia represents the collective knowledge of people who post to Wikipedia, not the world at large, etc. So OF COURSE it's going to have a somewhat left bias; why is that surprising?
That thread was REALLY about the fact that folks on FR mounted a campaign to "correct" other Wikipedia articles (not the one about Free Republic) in favor of a conservative bias instead of a liberal one:
"...a Free Republic Action Alert was distributed calling for a coordinated attack against several Wikipedia articles..."Is it any surprise that Wikipedia would resist an organized campaign of that nature, regardless of its leanings?
I mean, aren't we sort of famous for "FReeping That Poll" and so forth? ;-)
