I know this question was aimed at Christian, but I am going to be my cents on it as well.

Yes I have heard of Conservapedia and they are the most succesful example of a Christian wiki. They do experience a ton of vandalism which hampers editing. They do great on addressing modern political topics from a conserative standpoint.

Obviously they will be semi-satricial on liberalism and I imagine there content probably turns a lot of liberals off. As you know Bible Wiki has a much more narrow and specific approach, but that will allow us to be more productive in our specific goals as a ministry. They had a similair starting drive as we do, that is realizing Wikipedia while claiming to be neutral has a very liberal bias. Personally I think Conservapedia has become more semi-satrical or just stating things in a conserative viewpoint (I think they are the opposite of RationalWiki, different viewpoitns but treated in that same regard) rather than giving a lot of factual anaylsis. Furthermore I do not believe they have any formal declarations of being a ministry.

There cause is noble, but I think Conservapedia probably only draws interest from conseratives and doesn't have much avenue to thoughtfully engage with liberals. I would also like to repeat encouragement to re-join efforts here. We are much more narrowly focused and we do assume a Biblical Point of View, but we make efforts to be a ministry and to productively engage with those who disagree with our viewpoints. We hope to grow this site as a unique way for Christians to study and write about the Word of God at the same time, while also providing in-depth anaylsis of biblical history and literature for the skeptical, uncertain and doubtful.
