So why are there not enough conservative contributors to Wikipedia to offset the claimed bias? Has the conservative side abandoned the fight within Wikipedia just as it has abandoned the fight in the mass media?

If you’re not there, then that gives the field to the opposition.

I try, but I am only one against the leftist horde.

Proven fact: it's easier to whine than do something about it.

To the lefties, Wikipedia is the exact same thing as an online poll. They know that unilaterally overpowering it renders it useless as a real point of reference to the truth, and aids in their ability to use it as a tool to further their causes.

Many conservatives avoid it for exactly the same reasons they refuse to "Freep a Poll". They see it as a form of mental masturbation.

I like to use Wikipedia as a starting point for research...to find names, places and dates associated with particular events, and then I begin to comb the Internet for collaborating or contradictory evidence, and I examine the web sites to determine if they have an agenda to take into account.
