Description
An encyclopedia with a politically conservative viewpoint and friendly to creationism and Christianity. The site is partly aimed at homeschooled children from fundamentalist Christian homes. Conservapedia has 22,083 registered users, of which 30 (or 0.14%) have Administrators rights.
Criticisms
The Young Earth Creationist position of Conservapedia is considered unscientific. Articles about Political Liberals are considered defamatory. The site is considered unobjective generally. Conservapedia is accused of being basically Andrew Schlafly's blog. The site is partly aimed at homeschooled children from fundamentalist Christian homes. Such children are unlikely to see where Conservapedia is considered out of touch with reality. Conservapedia is also aimed at adult American fundamentalist Christians who are discouraged from getting information outside their narrow Christian viewpoint and may not see any problems with Conservapedia.
Blocking policy
Conservapedia is accused of blocking users for trivial reasons, such as spending time discussing edits before or after making them, over minor disagreements, and for mentioning RationalWiki or the FBI.
