Should I put a link to Less Wrong in the Wikipedia page on rationality?

Please don't. As a long-time Wikipedian, I can tell you any sane editor will nuke that addition on sight becuase it looks like (and IMO, is) self-promotion.

More logical places to add it, where it might make sense, would be the pages on Eliezer Yudkowsky and SIAI.

(I'd add Robin Hanson, but I get the impression he's chosen to remain only associated with OB. What's up with that anyway? Sometimes it feels like LW/OB is a schism - the EY-ites have migrated to LW, and the Hansonites squat on the remnants of OB.)

I've migrated to LW because threaded discussions are SO VERY MUCH BETTER! Locating old posts is easier; commenting is quicker; karma is fun (and a rationality test - not the getting it, but the not caring too much about it).

EDIT: The ability to edit my comments is also a huge win. I always write something wrong the first time, even when taking this rule into account.

Also, if I catch up on my reading and make 3 comments, on OB I have to wait an hour before I can make a 4th comment.

The latter is of debatable relevance; and it's already linked from the former (and has been for weeks, it seems).
