So far it's only one line.

I sent an invite to the young whippersnapper who wandled himself here.--PalMD-yada yada 21:34, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
- Good for you. His IP block ought to over by now. humanbe in 21:35, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
- I can't believe i said "young whippersnapper".--PalMD-yada yada 21:38, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
- I can't believe I let you get away with it. Let's block each other! humanbe in 21:46, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
- I, um, well, er, I'm not a, er, sysop. I can't block my own toilet.--PalMD-yada yada 21:47, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

history
I do think there should be a history section. All I know so far is what day it got started. YB indeed! 20:00, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
- And then there was light ;) Thank you. humanbe in 23:27, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
- WEIRD! I was reading up on CP on WP and read that a doctor named Peter Lipson started it. I can't find anything about it here, though! (Here as in the site, not this article.) So I thought I'd head over to the talk page, only to find that I had asked this question about 4 months earlier. Ha! Weird. YB indeed! 21:05, 8 December 2007 (EST)
Metapedia....
It has occurred to me, just now, that perhaps Rationalwiki should expand to cover, perhaps, this 'wiki' too?
Just a thought...--TheThinkingMan 21:43, 2 October 2007 (EDT)
- Touch dirt & ye shall be soiled! Susantalk to me 21:48, 2 October 2007 (EDT)
- Maybe an article, yes. As far a sickening-read hobby for people who can't get enough CP... Ugh. Anyway, we wouldn't have to "expand" to "cover" it. Just write an article. Ironically, they have no user named "Hitler was a sensitive man" yet... humanbe in 21:53, 2 October 2007 (EDT)
- What I mean is, we already have watchdog pages for CP (more then one) perhaps it would be a good idea to include one for this site as well.--TheThinkingMan 22:03, 2 October 2007 (EDT)

- We know where it is, idiot. Quit spamming the link to that racist trash around. humanbe in 22:28, 2 October 2007 (EDT)
- Sure, TTM, why not? Oh, perhaps because it would mean someone would actually have to go there over and over again. I don't have the stomach for it, do you? humanbe in 22:30, 2 October 2007 (EDT)
- Perhaps not. O_O Maybe we should send an email to one of the anti-racism sites around :/ I feel we need to do SOMETHING though. --TheThinkingMan 23:00, 2 October 2007 (EDT)

New direction
What to do? I think we need a new raison d'etre, to reanimate the group. We've certainly got a great core of users, a slim & streamlined wiki (thanks to project whitewash and Susan's categorizing), and above all, time and brains on our hands (I really should wash those).
So what to do with them? I'd like to do something about the Creation Museum, or CreationWiki, or something like that. I still want to do the Visitor's Guide but I'm too damn busy lately. Other ideas?-αmεσ (tinker) 23:22, 2 October 2007 (EDT)
- What happened to our old raisondetra? You know, the debunking irrationality thing? humanbe in 23:28, 2 October 2007 (EDT)
I think we need a new target, or we'll be relatively aimless and just revert to targeting CP-αmεσ (tinker) 23:30, 2 October 2007 (EDT)
Perhaps it's worth saying
That due to the inherently open nature RationalWiki (hell, even the Main Page is unprotected), and it's small size relative to sites like Wikipedia or Uncyclopedia, vandalism will be encountered more often than on those sites. All users should be encouraged to revert vandalism, on a bigger scale. --Ζωροάστρης 14:25, 11 November 2007 (EST)
This website is Propaganda
Theres no use denying it like some child. 98.17.12.20 13:11, 18 December 2007 (EST)
- It's not a "web sty", it's a "web shite". Git yer terminaulogy richt! human

- What exactly do we, um... propagandize? ...propagate? In any case, I can't imagine us doing a very good job of it... UchihaKATON! 15:25, 18 December 2007 (EST)
- Liberal beliefs. 98.17.12.20 17:00, 18 December 2007 (EST)

I think we're "propaganda" in the sense that we have a viewpoint. But I don't think that's something to be ashamed of. We set out to have a viewpoint, didn't we?-αmεσ (tinker) 15:28, 18 December 2007 (EST)
Rather feel that, apart from the odd right wing single issue wazzock, we're propagandising to the converted. (Is there any conection between a propaGANDER and a CANARD? Susanpurrrrr ... 15:32, 18 December 2007 (EST)
It's no more "propoganda" than Conservapedia. So, what's a "Website", then? Somewhere for internet pigs to live? We only do and have goats here (with the occassional Hiver). Spica 15:47, 18 December 2007 (EST)
- I think of it less as propaganda than as evangelism.--PalMD-If it looks like a donut, eat it 16:10, 18 December 2007 (EST)
You don't know what a website is? LAMO! 98.17.12.20 16:59, 18 December 2007 (EST)
YouTube
I was just putting a bunch of random things on YouTube to see if there were any results... "No Videos found for 'rationalwiki'". CP has a few, but mainly just "WTH?!" style. Fuzzy|AFD 20:53, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
History section
So far it's only one line. I think something about RW 1.0 and its origins could be included, but I don't have the dates. 07:50, 18 September 2008 (EDT) Totnesmartin
