[http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page Conservapedia], a religious-conservative version of WP started in November. Has received some publicity recently and gone wholly semi-protect (due to vandalism). their main criticism of WP is that we use English spellings (sometimes) and the BCE/CE convention. See also: Eagle Forum, its parent organisation.
