Quote from RationalWiki: "Actually Cory, it never declined because of that, AFAIK. Mona dramatically LANCB'd after expressing delusions of grandeur about supposedly having caused "a mass exodus of funny editors" from our site. I hear she eventually returned, but she doesn't seem to have made an edit in quite some time and is still sysrevoked. --Goatspeed." All holidays matter🎄CircularREmail2.gifasoning🎄See what I'm planning 02:43, 11 December 2020 (UTC) Just like the Garden of Eden and Elevatorgate, a woman precipated a fall! And remember this pre-Elevatorgate quote from Ms. Magazine from Monica Shores: "The lack of lady presence is so visible that Conservapedia commented on it by noting that Dawkins’ website overwhelmingly attracts male visitors."[1] Conservapedia set the stage for the death of the atheist movement as Elevatorgate was a pivotal crisis in the atheist movement that eventually helped cause its death! "There is nothing new under the sun". - King Solomon. I hope this clarifies matters.Rogerthat (talk) 18:47, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Elections[edit]
Could someone explain how this site is governed? Is it a democracy? If so then how do the elections take place? Is a absolute monarchy or a dictatorship? — Unsigned, by: Interstellar / talk / contribs Interstellar (talk) 14:23, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
This page's protection[edit]
Does anyone oppose removing the current protection from this page? It has been protected indefinitely since 2014, mostly semi protected but has also been fully protected at times. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 19:42, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
This sentence[edit]
"Since religious fundamentalism and far-right extremism, which RationalWiki strongly opposes, lean strongly to the right, a slight centre-left bias is to be expected as part of our mission."
I wonder if this could be better written to reflect the fact that RW does criticize certain bad trends from the left-wing, too, but in a way that doesn't both-sides it (because after all it's acknowledging a bias).
We could maybe cite a survey about how likely different political groups are to trust the scientific community? Here's an example of a citation we could use; data is pulled from the General Social Survey
which is a massive survey conducted in the US. It also shows a trendline which actually demonstrates Democrats have been at least a little more likely to trust the scientific community than Republicans, a finding consistent throughout the entire period that RationalWiki existed.
