There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |

历史[edit]
请参考相关文章RationalWiki:History
RationalWiki 2.0 2007年五月二十二号被创始,剩下的就是历史了!
范围和数据[edit]
RW是一个比较受欢迎的网站,特别是在网上怀疑论者信息来源上被引用。二零一二年十一月,RW的流量已经上涨到每天32000人。[1] 继二零一三年起,RW每月活跃编辑者700-1000名,编辑15000-30000次。[2]
2013年以来,RW的Alexa级别(一个用处和准确度有限的指数)在网上第15000到第25000最红的网站之间。这意味着它每月大概迎接四百万访客。[3][4][5]这意味着RW比许多其他的怀疑论网站,比如Quackwatch、[6] Skeptoid、[7]和Freethought Blogs,[8]大,但比PolitiFact、Snopes等小。[9]
但是,RW的宗旨不是收集观点(因事实不因普遍性而成立),特别是因为RW不买任何产品,也不用任何广告赚钱。我们的目的是利用所有单独的观点,给我们发布与日渐增多的伪科学和反理智主义所抗衡的准确信息的机会。
对我们来说,更多读者意味着更多抵抗伪科学和宗教极端主义的机会,因而吸引了更多专注的写作者加入支持科学的行列(以造成在这里以及在广大社会上高质量怀疑论内容变得更普遍)。
评级网络资料可靠度网站Media Bias/Fact Check给RationalWiki很高的评级,[10] 与维基百科[11]在“报道可靠度”的评级相同(两个网站评级都是“高”)更具体地来说,这个分数意味着:[12]
“”此资料基本可靠,引用的信息是可靠的,地偏见的,不正确的信息发现后会马上被改正。

另外,应该注意的是RationalWiki跟维基百科比,被视为有偏左的倾向。这不令人惊讶,因为我们明确指出我们的目的不是完全中立。注意此处与维基百科的比较不意味着我们把我们自己视为一个百科(我们不是百科全书)。

RationalWiki文章的本质是什么?[edit]
请参考相关文章RationalWiki:What is a RationalWiki article?
虽然RW背后的软件跟维基百科一样,需要注意的是RW不试图成为一个百科全书。虽然许多RW文章看上去像百科条目,但是RW允许并支持原创研究和观点的构成。
- RW的社区接纳了维基的概念,创造了通过网上上千人合作构成的信息来源。
- 通过鼓励原创研究和写论文,RW也包括部落格的许多特点。
- 成员可以通过多种渠道沟通:辩论页面,讨论页,和Saloon Bar。因此,它有网络论坛网站的特点。
- 虽然RW的宗旨是很重要的,但它仍旧是一个自愿参与的工程,所以文章生动,写作过程有趣。
- RW跟维基百科等百科不同之处之一,是我们明确的说,我们不假装在有争议的题目上中立。 如果辩论中的一方有科学依据和科学界的共识,我们必须尊敬那个共识,把另一边的缺点明确得指出来。
管理[edit]

请参考相关文章RationalWiki:Community Standards#Mobocracy
谁是这里的领导?最终的答案是,没人领导,因为这是一个维基。
谁来编辑,谁做决定。因此,RW一定程度上遵循众愚政治。所有编辑了一段时间,有一点能力的用户都提拔降级为系统管理员。少数用户被社区选举为调解人。要辩论的话,最好的地方是相关文章的讨论页。
RationalMedia Foundation至今只有两次需要直接禁止一个人编辑此网站。RMF两次直接禁止用户是为了保护该组织不陷入法律问题,此权利仅在发表严重诽谤言论等重要问题时被使用。
批评[edit]
请参考相关文章RationalWiki:Pissed at us
RW受到了许多人的批评,包括反对我们内容的人和反对我们写作特点的人。常见的一种批评是”‘理智维基’并不理智“。 没人认为自己不理智,所以有些会指责与他们观点不同的人不理智。一定程度上,RW也犯这个错:名字中的“理智”错误地暗示反对它的观点的人并不理智,所以有人会说这个名字有点不幸。
RW批评了一些政坛上出名的人,包括荣·保罗[67]和艾茵·兰德。这些人的支持者会说,RW的观点不正确或不公平。不完整的文章也受到了批评。[68] RW的评级系统试图解决质量不平整这个问题,但是该系统并不全面。
RW的风格也受到了批评。有些人说,RW的幽默感比较奇怪,也有人因RW讥笑他们眼中的理智主义理论表达不满。LessWrong的创始人艾黎吉亚·宇德科斯基认为,RW的理智主义不够坚硬,RW整体“无知”。[69]
非英语语言[edit]
请参考相关文章RationalWiki:Languages
虽然RW大部分的编辑者说英语,RW也有其他语言的文章:
- 俄罗斯语:至2018年九月有1004篇文章 (比如Научный креационизм);
- 西班牙语:30篇文章 (比如, Cabra);
- 法语:51篇文章 (比如, Science);
- 葡萄牙语:34篇文章;
- 中文:17篇文章;
