'''Conservapedia''' is an encyclopedia written with a conservative viewpoint; specifically, Conservapedia's articles are politically conservative, friendly to young Earth creationism and conservative Christianity, and USA-centric. Conservapedia is in general hostile to liberals, homosexuals, and people who support or teach the theory of evolution. 

The site was started in November 2006 by Andrew Schlafly and a group of homeschooled people to provide an alternative to the perceived anti-Christian, pro-Evolution, anti-American and anti-conservative bias of Wikipedia. The stated purpose of the site is to provide a family-friendly resource for homeschooled children from fundamentalist Christian homes. However, a few more adult topics such as [http://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexuality homosexuality] are also treated in depth.

Every edit on Conservapedia is scrutinized by the administrators for potential liberal bias.  As a result, Conservapedia cannot be edited during nighttime, U.S. time, except by users with special "night editing" rights, to prevent vandals from striking when all or most of the administrators are asleep.

==Guidelines for prospective editors==
''Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to a block.''
* Make your username a first name and last initial.  Make sure they sound sufficiently Christian not to rouse a sysops's suspicion. 
* Before making ANY comments on a talk page, edit or create at least 10 other pages, to avoid violating the [http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:90/10_rule "90/10" rule].
* NEVER put {{fact}} tags on an article that was recently edited by a sysop.  
* Don't correct factual errors by sysops.  They'll just block you and put them back.
