Currently I'm evaluating whether RationalWiki is worth my time and effort, most of which is spent on editing Wikipedia pages. So far I have seen that some editors on RW are ignorant assholes however most know what they're doing, and I see that search engines on rare occasion bring up a RW page in the top ten, so we'll see if this is worth the effort or not.

July 30: After checking this Wiki and observing some of the people who edit it, I find I will not participate, it is a waste of time, it's not a serious project.
