RationalWiki has a set of [[Wiki community|community]] standards to which it sometimes / somewhat adheres. | RationalWiki has a set of [[Wiki community|community]] standards to which it sometimes / somewhat adheres. For example, it states "Talk pages should ''never'' be deleted", but in actual practice, [[talk page]]s deemed to consist of [[troll]]ing sometimes are deleted. [[:Category:Policy|Policies]] are few, and readily disregarded. RationalWiki does not aspire to be a general purpose [[:Category:Encyclopedia|encyclopedia]] like [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]; therefore, pages deemed to be [[Off-topic|off-mission]] are deleted. Such decisions are made through a mobocratic process. | ||

When a person makes a factually-corrective edit that contradicts the leftism memeplex, the RW establishment reverts the edit and then tries to coerce the correcter onto the article's talk-page, so as to maintain the article in its spurious state, because people rarely look at the talk-pages. | ||
