When agreed upon to move to article page (see here)
RationalWikiWiki is a small Wiki that comments on RationalWiki. It was part of the ScribbleWiki Wiki farm but moved before things broke down there, and is now hosted on the same server as RationalWiki. As of August 19th it is inaccessible along with RationalWiki; see RationalWiki#Loss of service (Back online now.)
Downtime
The site is down on 22nd July ’08. I don’t know if this is temporary or permanent. Proxima Centauri 06:08, 22 July 2008 (EDT) It's back up Proxima Centauri 02:40, 23 July 2008 (EDT)
Well the site is kinda back up again but... Lumenos
Controversial?
Could somebody explain what is controversial about this article?--Bob M 14:35, 8 September 2009 (EDT)
- Nothing. Dilley has decided that all wikis related to RW are in the middle of a giant brawl which has spilled over to Wikiindex, and is refusing to acknowledge anyone pointing out the obvious. The major problem with this wiki seems to be CP syndrome: administrators being incapable of admitting they are in error or of changing their minds. Phantom Hoover 14:38, 8 September 2009 (EDT)
- Hi PH. Well, let's give then a chance to respond and assume good faith. Maybe there is a good reason for blocking this one, or maybe it was a mistake. If somebody reacted hastily no doubt they will fix it.--Bob M 14:52, 8 September 2009 (EDT)
- Um, have you seen the "history" for the RationalWikiWiki page? The "summary" lines on the history page seem to show some back-and-forth bickering. While I've seen much, much worse elsewhere, and I agree that "protecting" this article for 3 months is over-reacting, I wouldn't call it "nothing".
- p.s. about this "refusing to acknowledge anyone pointing out the obvious" -- would you mind linking directly to the point where this allegedly obvious thing-pointing was refused acknowledgement? --DavidCary 11:38, 10 September 2009 (EDT)
- I agree that this page is, in September 2009, "Not very controversial."
- If this article continues to slowly improve at the rate of one edit every week or so, then the "protection" should expire before the next person tries to improve it.
- However, since the history page shows back-and-forth bickering a few months ago, I wouldn't say there is "nothing" controversial about it.
- I am fascinated by the way different wiki seem to run on different timescales. The biggest wiki run amazingly fast -- an edit I make there is often responded to within minutes; a week ago was ancient history. The WikiIndex (with the exception of a certain prolific poster), like most wiki, runs at a much slower pace -- my edits are often the latest edit to a page for weeks; a year ago was ancient history. The original wiki seems even slower. My edits there are often the latest edit to a page for years. Many people claim the original wiki, and perhaps some other wiki, exists in a kind of eternal "WikiNow" (Wiki: WikiNow). --DavidCary 13:24, 10 September 2009 (EDT)
