However [http://liberapedia.wikia.com/wiki/User:Liberal-WillH its creator] stated that it was created to parody Conservapedia and advises that: "most articles should take stereotypical {{tag|liberal}} views and distort them to the extreme" The creator of Liberapedia, WillH has left the site leaving no active bureaucrats.

This could matter because on March 7th 2009 Google put that site on top when users look for Liberapedia. [http://liberapedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Old_Liberapedia_cyber_squaters&t=20090308075834 A forum] was set up to discuss it.
