This is my first time creating a thread, so please be kind...

It's also your very first post.

Welcome to Free Republic.

That too. LOL! (Nothing like starting out with a bang!) Thanks for the welcome...

In my opinion you are wasting your time. Wik is committed to the notion of " objective" discussion, which is philosophically a built-in bias to the Left. In almost every non-scientific topic, in order to discuss it well, there must be a " point of view", generally represented by Western traditional social ideals. You are never going to sell that notion to Wik.

In addition, the website is far less technically viable than it would have you realize. It can take hours to get on and get access to posting plus editing one or two simple paragraphs. The thing is a horrible " black hole" for time, and that of course, also favors posters with very little else to do and very few real-world responsibilities. I have written several articles on it, which have been reproduced over the Internet, and in my opinion: chuck it - the project os hopeless.

In gerneral, I disagree with your evaluation. It is perhaps a matter of what you are looking up. I personally thought that it was conservative more than liberal.

I suspect that the bias is topical.
