Conservapedia is an English-language wiki encyclopedia project written from an American conservative, creationist, and Christian fundamentalist point of view. The website was started in 2006 by American homeschool teacher and attorney Andrew Schlafly, son of conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly,〔 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eagleforumu.org/EAGLEFORUMU/INSTRUCTOR/VIEW.cfm?int_instructor_id=7&INT_COURSE_ID=23&bln_registered=1 )〕 to counter what he perceived as a liberal bias present in Wikipedia.〔〔 It uses editorials and a wiki-based system to generate content. Examples of Conservapedia's ideology include its accusations against and strong criticism of U.S. President Barack Obama, the Democratic Party, evolution, a wide array of alleged liberal ideologies, and Wikipedia's supposed liberal bias, views of the theory of relativity as promoting moral relativism, claims of a proven link between abortion and breast cancer, praise for a number of Republican politicians, praise for celebrities and artistic works that it views as "conservative" and/or promoting moral standards in line with Christian family values, and acceptance of fundamentalist Christian doctrines such as Young Earth creationism. Conservapedia's "Conservative Bible Project" is a crowd-sourced version of the Bible which Conservapedia claims will be "free of corruption by liberal untruths".〔 The site has received negative reactions from the mainstream media, as well as from notable political figures, including commentators and journalists,〔Calore, Michael (February 28, 2007) (What Would Jesus Wiki? ) ''Wired Magazine''〕 and has been criticized for bias and inaccuracies.〔〔the notion "that there's always a second, equally valid interpretation of the facts". Clarke, Conor. (2007). ("A fact of one's own" ). ''The Guardian'', March 1, 2007.〕〔 == History and overview == Conservapedia was created in November 2006 by Andrew Schlafly, a Harvard- and Princeton-educated attorney and a homeschool teacher.〔 He started the project after reading a student's assignment written using Common Era dating notation rather than the Anno Domini system that he preferred.〔 Although he was "an early Wikipedia enthusiast," as reported by Shawn Zeller of ''Congressional Quarterly'', Schlafly became concerned about bias after Wikipedia editors repeatedly undid edits to the article about the 2005 Kansas evolution hearings.〔 Schlafly expressed hope that Conservapedia would become a general resource for American educators and a counterpoint to the liberal bias that he perceived in Wikipedia. The "Eagle Forum University" online education program, which is associated with Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum organization, uses material for various online courses, including U.S. history, stored on Conservapedia. Editing of Conservapedia articles related to a particular course topic is also a certain assignment for Eagle Forum University students.〔 Running on MediaWiki software,〔〔 the site was founded in 2006, with its earliest articles dating from November 22.〔〔〔 By January 2012, Conservapedia contained over 38,000 pages, not counting pages intended for internal discussion and collaboration, minimal "stub" articles, and other miscellany. Regular features on the front page of Conservapedia include links to news articles and blogs that the site's editors consider relevant to conservatism. Editors of Conservapedia also maintain a page titled "Examples of Bias in Wikipedia" that compiles alleged instances of bias or errors on Wikipedia pages.〔 It was, at one point, the most-viewed page on the site.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Conservapedia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
