The idea of Wikirating was born in spring 2010 by [http://www.wikirating.com/wiki/User:Dorian Dorian Credé] – in the middle of the [[wp:Late-2000s financial crisis|world financial and economic crisis]].  Shortly after [http://www.wikirating.org/wiki/User:Erwan Erwan Salembier] joined, and both started to develop this idea based on the simple fact that {{tag|financial}} ratings, methodologies and activities needed to become transparent and open, and that anyone should have the right to contribute to this project.  In February 2012 Erwan left Wikirating by mutual consent.
