Is there anything on this list:

which is a legitimate complaint that we can do something about?
I don't know. One of them (#67) may be about you, but it's kind of hard
to tell whether it is, and whether we can edit you to improve matters.
#167 is the allegation that "we" fail to understand what the Tea Party
guys are all about. AFAIK we don't claim to understand anything much,
just to compile articles from sources. What might be worth doing is to
sort these into types of complaint, as a preliminary. The link

is of course comical rather than anything to take seriously. Where the
Conservapedia criticisms are adjacent to the stuff about "soccer loving
socialists" imposing the view of 95% of the world of the default meaning
of "football", I think we can scoff, and the writer of that piece has
clearly not figured out the traditional uses of encyclopedias either.
