RationalWiki started in May 2007 responsing to Conservapedia. The content of the Wiki deals with Conservapedia a great deal but they also branched out into skepticism.

The site works to refute a range of faith based ideas and superstitions. They have material on Scientology, Astrology, New Age and many others.

Their stated goals are:

• Analyzing and refuting the anti-science movement, ideas and people.
• Analyzing and refuting the full range of crank ideas.
• Explorations of authoritarianism and fundamentalism.

Most of their traffic is to do with the page What is going on at Conservapedia? The website has a highly controversial sense of humour.
Example of RationalWiki’s perspective:-

As a site we have a point of view, and that point of view is that the scientific method and the information gained from its application is better than almost anything else humanity has come up with. We believe that the support of, profiting from and creation of pseudosciences is dangerous and wrong. [1]

Criticism

Many of the members, especially admins admit to having been vandals at many different wikis including Conservapedia.
