Fed up with Wikipedia?

Don’t like the liberal, anti-Christian, anti-American bias of Wikipedia, then maybe you should look to Conservapedia.?

Under the Examples of Wikipedia bias I thought that the one (no. 7) ‘uses foreign spelling’ amusing, as well as inaccurate – search Wikipedia for colour for example. And -’ise’ and ‘ize’ are both considered correct spellings in British English. Anyway, many of the alleged examples of bias seem to be just general criticisms of Wikipedia, (and there is plenty to criticise) rather than bias.

One of the criticisms is about the article on Feudalism , reading the insightful Conservapedia article which summarises Feudalism in Europe as ‘In the feudalism system everyone wins but some win more than others‘ I know which I’d prefer.

  1. hmm, I liked the fact that they only gave up a parentage of the crop – rofl!

  2. I have done a bit of editorial work in both the USA and UK–’ise’ and ‘ize’ are used here in the UK–especially by magazine and book publishers. The key is to be consistent throughout the piece. Every editorial department has it’s own style guide they adhere to.

  3. I am planning on launching my new site Fascipaedia very shortly.

    Once that is done I will be starting work on a children’s encyclopaedia, Paedipaedia.
