Site founder Philip J Rayment criticises Conservapedia with this comment: "''However, it is not, and never will be, an encyclopaedia. It gives Christians, creationists, and conservatives a bad name by operating in ways that do not match Christian and conservative values. As long as it is like that (and it shows no signs of improving), I want it to fail.''" <small>''[http://web.aanet.com.au/P_Rayment/Conservapedia/Problems.htm (from his personal website)]''</small> | Site founder Philip J Rayment criticises Conservapedia with this comment: "''However, it is not, and never will be, an encyclopaedia.

Although the site owner claims aSK is an 'encyclopædia', it would seem that many articles do not include appropriate citations, references or footnotes for independent verification (though some articles do have citations, albeit citations biased towards the specific viewpoint). Nonetheless, many articles are well-written, and clearly effort has been made on the presentational style and structure of the wiki, although the use of [http://astorehouseofknowledge.info/wiki/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=&namespace=6 images] in articles is in practice very limited. | |||
During 2012, the site saw an increase in spam, but managed to stop this by requiring new users to conform to a particular format with their usernames, which an administrator would then change to their selected name. As of 2013, it is largely dormant, though to the extent any editing occurs, it remains dominated by the site creator. | During 2012, the site saw an increase in spam, but managed to stop this by requiring new users to conform to a particular format with their usernames, which an administrator would then change to their selected name.
