My favorite example of bias introduced to Wikipedia is by some obviously religious fanatics that managed to add the big section of "Religious views" to biographies of most of famous people of science, and then misinterpret their quotes to support the view that all were religious, in a sense of "supporting/believing in the existing religions."<p>The best example, Einstein:<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein's_religious_views" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein's_religious_vie...</a><p>"Albert Einstein's religious views have been studied extensively. He said he believed in the "pantheistic" God of Baruch Spinoza, but not in a personal god, a belief he criticized." And there's no citation re "pantheistic." That is, as stated the claim appears to support the view that there were Einstein's words that mention the "pantheistic" as the most important thing of "Spinoza's" God.<p>If fact, the only quote, of course not cited in Wikipedia, where Einstein explicitly mentions "pantheism" is apparently:<p><a href="http://www.einsteinandreligion.com/spinoza.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.einsteinandreligion.com/spinoza.html</a><p>"I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist."<p>The only fair description would be "he was an agnostic" and that's all. Instead, the "pantheism" is effectively promoted before, making "agnosticism" his second choice, which it wasn't. Specifically, he quotes Spinoza in order to point to the previous thinker that rejected the belief that the soul exists separately from the body. That's why he mentions him (as seen in the full quote linked above).<p>He was frequently quoted to declare himself agnostic, whereas he mentions Spinoza's God only in one mail.<p>Still, try to remove obviously lying "pantheistic" pseudo quote/promotion from Wikipedia's texts about Einstein.<p>And the same thing is repeated for a lot of other scientists!
