    This is what you said which started this conversation:

    I was just reading about it. It’s another web encyclopedia trying to incorporate other encyclopedias to compete against Wikipedia’s biases.

    I showed you that the whole thing is about Wikipedia not having a right-wing bias.

    I thought you cared about facts and truth?

      I do. I admitted Justapedia was a biased source:

      Edit: I read through the [page](https://justapedia.org/wiki/Fascism) on Fascism. It’s crap, runaway.

      but the references linked were credible.

      I’ll admit when I’m wrong, will you?

      Five studies, including two from Harvard researchers, have found a left-wing bias at Wikipedia:

      • A Harvard study found Wikipedia articles are more left-wing than Encyclopedia Britannica.
      • Another paper from the same Harvard researchers found left-wing editors are more active and partisan on the site.
      • 2018 analysis found top-cited news outlets on Wikipedia are mainly left-wing.
      • Another analysis using AllSides Media Bias Ratings™ found that pages on American politicians cite mostly left-wing news outlets.
      • American academics foundconservative editors are 6 times more likely to be sanctioned in Wikipedia policy enforcement. source

        When did I say Wikipedia didn’t have a bias? Please quote me.

        Again, if you care about the truth, you’ll show where I made that claim that you think you’re refuting.

          Maybe I misread it. I’m not concerned with winning an argument, only with correcting the misinformation about “ghost cities.” I did that. Now I just have to wait for Legoland Sichuan to open in 2025 in the new state-level are of Tianfu. Hopefully it won’t be too crowded, since it’s a “ghost city.”

            “Maybe” you misread what?

            I never claimed Wikipedia had no bias. I never even implied it.

            You berated me for not caring about facts and truth, then you lied about me, now you won’t even admit it was a lie.
