Conservapedia

Conservapedia is a wiki encyclopedia project written from an American Conservative viewpoint, to fix what is seen as a liberal bias in Wikipedia. It was founded in November 2006 by lawyer Andrew Schlafly, son of the conservative commentator Phyllis Schlafly. The project, originally begun as a project for homeschool students, has expanded to include the general public, or as Conservapedia labels them, "The Best of the Public". The project also includes lectures and classes for students and a translation of the King James Bible.

History
Conservapedia was founded in November 2006 by attorney Andrew Schlafly feeling the need to found the site since a student used Common Era dating notations over Anno Domini ones. Schlafly, a former Wikipedia enthusiast, founded the site based on an alleged liberal and evolutionary bias in Wikipedia with his class of homeschooled students. As of March 2011, Conservapedia contains over 34,000 pages of encyclopedic content, not counting lectures, minimal stubs, and other miscellany.

Editorial Policies
Conservapedia's editing policies are designed to fix what Schlafly perceives as policies that have created bias and other problems with Wikipedia. There is no neutrality policy, and all articles are written from a pro-American, pro-Christianity slant. The articles are preferably written in American English, though Commonwealth spellings have been permitted in certain cases. Users are required to create accounts which preferably are a part of their real name (the most accepted Conservapedia name variation is first name, last initial accounts). Conservapedia also uses the Anno Domini dating system over the Common Era, and American English, to fix what Schlafly sees as anti-Christian, anti-American bias on Wikipedia.

Content
Conservapedia contains 34,000 pages of encyclopedic content, which mainly is about politics, religion, creation science, and history. The site is notable for rejecting the many popular culture articles that Wikipedia consists of, and to focus on subjects that would appear in newspapers and paper encyclopedias. It also contains a debate section for users to debate religious, cultural, political, economic, or other ideas with one another. Conservapedia also has a Conservative Bible Project, an attempt for users to retranslate the King James Bible to remove alleged liberal bias found in other translations such as the New International Version, which Conservapedia claims is written at a seventh-grade level. Also included is an area for students to receive education from founder Schlafly on subjects such as world and American history, economics, and others which include written lectures, homework, and exams.
