It would be interesting to see focused POV encyclopedia projects
spring up to offer alternatives to the WP NPOV and what WP systemic
biases do exist (I believe that there's a tendency for both political
and social liberalism among WP editors; I don't believe that it
generally has a negative effect on article NPOV, but it is a mild
systemic bias).
dKosopedia is one such project. It has been around since April 2004, with
the following philosophy:
"The dKosopedia is written from a left/progressive/liberal/Democratic point
of view while also attempting to fairly acknowledge the other side's take"

This Conservapedia project is not showing the types of rigor and
scaling that will be required for it to rise to the
challenge,
however.
Maybe it will later, but it's not looking hopeful.
