::::::::::::::::Seriously, is this the best criticism you can come up with? That the wiki has no chance to compete with Wikipedia, even though it's '''not even trying to'''? That's not even criticism. You can criticize Conservapedia for having delusions of grandeur (Schlafly said that they would surpass Wikipedia in a few years), but RationalWiki isn't even trying to be a general encyclopedia, and it actively enforces this by removing articles that do not fit its mission.

:::::::::::::::::Umm let me see if you are understanding the point being made here. (Nothing that you have said has indicated that you do.) We completely agree that the '''''stated''''' goals RW and Wikipedia are different. I'm just wondering whether this is true beyond superficial rhetoric. Why did we discontinue the discussion here and begin editing?

<del>Certain administrator are quite sensitive and controlling when it comes to censoring criticism. For example, watch what happens if you try to suggest that perhaps</del> [[Talk:RationalWiki#Criticism_and_rebuttals|Wikipedia achieves the stated goals of RationalWiki (without these being the stated goals of Wikipedia) better than RationalWiki does]]. | |||
::::::::::::::::::::Wikipedia cannot achieve the stated goals of RW because of its NPOV policy. [[User:Nx|Nx]] 05:38, 1 September 2009 (EDT) | |||
