 RationalWiki also has a namespace dedicated to [[Conservapedia]].
 ==History==
-RationalWiki started in {{tag|FoundedIn2007|May 2007}} after a group of editors at [[Conservapedia]] were banned over ideological differences with the authorities there.  Their edits had consisted mostly of debating on talk pages, attempting to counteract what they perceived to be overwhelming anti-scientific and far-right political bias.  Although the site was called RationalWiki to highlight the pro-scientific worldview of the founders, the content was largely weighted to the perceived lunacy of events at Conservapedia.
+RationalWiki started in {{tag|FoundedIn2007|May 2007}} after a group of editors at [[Conservapedia]] were banned over rampant acts of vandalism they committed there.  Their edits had consisted mostly of profanity, deceit, perpetual defiance of established rules, and harrassment of those in charge.  Although the site was called RationalWiki to highlight the pro-scientific worldview of the founders, the content was largely weighted to extremist, ultraliberal criticism of Conservapedia.
