::Philip J Rayment about Conservapedia: "''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.

Although there are a few former as well as current Conservapedians, most of the membership consists of RationalWikians who do not agree with the site's worldview, and this has caused some conflicts. RationalWiki has an article on A Storehouse of Knowledge [http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/A_Storehouse_of_Knowledge] and details current events there [http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/RationalWiki:What_is_going_on_at_ASK%3F#June_2009]. | ||
