Liberapedia is a website that was created in response to Conservapedia. It modestly claims to be "Saving The World From Neoconservative Fascist Hatemongering Racists".
However its creator stated that it was created to parody Conservapedia and advises that: "most articles should take stereotypical liberal views and distort them to the extreme" The creator of Liberapedia, WillH has left the site leaving no active bureaucrats. The remaining sysops struggled to handle the incoming spam, and later moved to a new site hosted at wikia where the new “founder” is Ajuk. See Old liberapedia for more information.
Unfortunatiely no one bought up the URL of Old Liberapedia and the domain name now hosts a placeholder site with Spam. This could matter because on March 7th 2009 Google put that site on top when users look for Liberapedia. A forum was set up to discuss it. As of March 8th 2009 this has stopped at least in the UK but the future is uncertain and as of June 30th Yahoo still give the spammed wiki URL just below the link to New Liberapedia. We cannot guess what would have happened if Liberapedia users had overlooked the spam going on top of Google's answers. Suggested action if other wikis get comparable problems.
Liberapedia includes serious articles as well as parodies, and there is sometimes no clear distinction between the two. Although its stated goal is to be a parody encyclopedia, the serious content contradicts this.
Liberapedia now is yet another Wiki from the fertile Wiki farm of Wikia.
