As for RationalWiki, despite what it is said on the main page of that site regarding their own intelligence, is nothing more than a joke.

First, there was only one cite, not "many users". Second, the article in question was (as so many things on RW are) a "humor" article. People disagree on the construction of humor articles, and so this sort of thing shouldn't be all that surprising. In fact, being a wiki, editorial changes should never be surprising. | First, there was only one cite, not "many users".

The material that was removed was, in fact, an actual article cite to an actual web page, and was therefore "true". However, from looking at what was going on, that material wasn't funny, and wasn't in keeping with the tone of the humor article. The person adding it had legitimate issues with the way various political groups view the Jewish community. Those valid concerns are appropriate for another article. But the reverting person felt that they were turning a humor page into an actual controversy page, which wasn't what the page was supposed to be about. | The material that was removed was, in fact, an actual article cite to an actual web page, and was therefore "true".

The source for the “Gibberish” is likely to be editors of [[Conservapedia]]. Conservapedia has a reputation for being biased and inaccurate.

Surely [[WikiIndex]] editors should not use article space and admin abilities to pursue grudges about incidents at other [[wiki]]s.

It's not a question of a grudge, my right to privacy was not respected and my real name was made public on [[Rationalwikiwiki]]. Reapeated requests to remove the information were refused. Responsible wikis don't do that type of thing.
