Because of articles like this one could other language editions be set up and this transwikied there?

    This (and some others) article has English versions only on EvoWiki. That why, as it seems, transwikies are imposible.

      Действительно эта wiki имеет статьи как на английском, так и на русском языках, но английские версии русскоязычных статей существуют только на ЭвоВики.russian spelling (edited by Bertran)
      Indeed this wiki has articles in both English and Russian but English versions of the Russian articles only exist on EvoWiki.

        I hope that in the future full-fledged language sections will be implemented. In this case it would be appropriate to consider this issue again.

          Futhermore, some articles have peculiar interwikies, e.g.: РациоВики, Научные фрики, Креационизм, Научный креационизм.

            As far as foreign-language articles on RationalWiki go, it might be a good idea not to permit articles in a certain language unless we have at least one bureaucrat who is fluent in that language.

              Is this groundhog day, or was this discussed before? Just wondering.

                So, do you think, that I must to stop writing? Or what you are talking about?

                  As you could see by, for example, automatic translators, almost all my work is translation of already existing English article. And, also, anyone can verify the content of Russian articles by using automatic translators. So, I think, that there is no problem in writing of Russian articles.

                    Bertran (talk)18:15, 19 January 2011

                    Leaving aside for a minute the fact that automated translators are known for their poor quality, having an automated translator on hand is not quite the same as having a fluent bureaucrat who can keep watch over the articles.

                      Do these Russian articles serve any purpose? Why are they even here?

                        DickTurpis (talk)18:27, 19 January 2011

                        They serve the purpose of letting Russian monoglots read them, obviously, which is fine, as long as we are assured that we can verify what they say.

                          Google translate.

                            I will repeat: Automated translators are known for their poor quality.

                              Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX18:39, 19 January 2011

                              So? You don't need a quality translation to know if it's parody or not.

                                Google translator is not so bad, as you described it.

                                  Кроме того, машинный перевод может легко быть упорядочен. (translation cleaned up)
                                  Also, machine translation can easily be cleaned up.

                                    Myrtonos@21:42, 19 January 2011

                                    There is only one inexactitude: "be cleaned up" actually means "быть упорядочен", not "быть вымыт" ("быть вымыт" = "be washed down").

                                      I would think that having some of the important articles in foreign languages would do more to further RW's mission than 90% of the stuff that's in mainspace now does -- seems like a good idea to me.

                                        If we're going to have articles in foreign languages it seems to make sense to do it the Wikipedia way and have separate projects for them. Otherwise RW is going to turn into a chaotic tower of Babel.

                                          DickTurpis (talk)18:48, 19 January 2011

                                          This is planned in the future. On other hand, it's inappropriate to make separate domains for only 5-10 articles, isn't it?
