Subject: [WikiEN-l] Latest comedic parody of Wikipedia
Thank you for such a measured, eloquent posting. I am not an “experienced
Wikipedian” by any means, but I cannot help but agree with your desire to
maintain a NPOV in instances where alleged bias is simply replaced with
another extreme. Responding to Conservapedia by treating it as either an
object of contempt or as the punch line to a very elaborate joke will only
serve to reinforce the perception of “liberal” bias amongst conservative
Christians and fuel negative perceptions of not only what Wikipedia is
attempting to accomplish but to also to reinforce a tendency towards blanket
generalizations that seems so prevalent in our culture – which is anathema
to any concept of truly open and collaborative media.
