Conservapedia

[amuzulo]

Some things never cease to amaze me. Today I found the Conservapedia... i.e. the Wikipedia written from an American Conservative Christian point of view. Wow. The Guardian has a really nice piece on them. The article about Evolution is now named Theory of Evolution and the Abortion article only says negative things about abortion. Really

Wow, no kidding. And the discussion about the logo proposals is surreal at times. E.g.Um, just a quick point here: while using the Cross is nice, you're going to have problems with the conservative Jews that may wish to use the site. Perhaps we should find a completely new idea that doesn't make our fellow conservatives uncomfortable. --Katie 22:26, 18 January 2007 (EST)

Well, considering the project is officialy Christian and conservative... I do however understand how such editors might feel more uncomfortable editing a project that used an avowedly Christian symbol. I'd be more concerned about the Church/State implications of such a symbol, but that might just be me. JoshuaZ 15:44, 1 March 2007 (EST)

I.e. "The site is conservative Christian, but maybe the logo shouldn't actually reflect that since it might be offputting", I guess.

I also like how the rules for logo proposals include: "The logo cannot utilize a globe as this would be far to close to Wikipedia's logo". This one particularly amuses me since I imagine they don't want a globe also because it would be "anti-American" and too international or some such nationalist nonsense.
