Conservapedia

Conservapedia is an ill-conceived ultra-orthodox Christian site started by a couple of old church ladies in apparent response to an imagined liberal bias on the part of wikipedia. (The truth is that, to far-right conservatives, reality has a left wing bias.) The site became more famous than it ever would have on its own merits when progressives discovered it and pointed out what a laughing stock of insane drivel it was. At that point it has been mainly written by creationist home-schooled creationist children and it was truly a thing of wonder and horror.

Progressives began vandalizing it and linking to it from blogs dripping with slack mouthed astonishment. This almost certainly accounted for better than two thirds of the hits Conservapedia got at that point.

Later some scientifically-minded users began to try to inject real science into the site - but soon ran afoul of CP's anal retentive blocking policy. Evolution became a battle ground and later doughnuts.

But the rationalists could not hold the line, and were cruelly exiled in what became known as the night of the long knives. Some entered on the long trek to rationalwiki where they first plotted to overthrow the fascist state of Conservapedia. But later they forgot their proletariat roots and became another bourgeois wiki concerned about its own hit count.

Others founded the wonderful pure socialist Liberapedia wiki you are reading now.

Meanwhile, CP continues on its own insane path of biblical literalism, neo-fascism and republican madness. Although many adults are now involved, it still reads like it is written by creationist home-schooled creationist children.
