Original research?

Do you think my comparison of the block lists for Wikipedia, Citizendium and Conservapedia constitute original research? I'm not sure. If so, delete or modify. John Stephenson 23:36, 27 July 2007 (CDT)

Article count

The real question isn't how many articles there are, but what the total word count is, and how many of words are garbage! --Larry Sanger 00:05, 28 July 2007 (CDT)

This obviously is not a Religion Workgroup article. What do religious scholars know about it? Conservapedia is politically slanted, first and foremost. --Larry Sanger 00:05, 28 July 2007 (CDT)

I have removed [[Category: Religion Workgroup]] given this criticism; however, I'd say it is peripherally to do with that group because of the religious aspect of Conservapedia. Apart from the creationism stuff, they do have a Bible quote-of-the-day on the main page. John Stephenson 03:38, 28 July 2007 (CDT)

Would National Review be in the Religion Workgroup as well? Perhaps The Nation should be, because they have so many atheist writers? --Larry Sanger 08:25, 28 July 2007 (CDT)

Neutral Point of View?

The first sentence of this entry leaves a great deal to be desired from a 'neutral point of view' standpoint. There is a strong implication that a conservative point of view is a "pro-American" point of view. That almost certainly is the viewpoint of Conservapedia, but it shouldn't be the viewpoint of Citizendium. (Simply massaging the sentence a bit might take care of the problem.)
