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.
