Ok, I'm convinced. I'm editing the article to take out RationalWiki. Thanks for helping me update!
To add a few arguments:
RationalWiki follows the standard New Atheist pattern of being too certain in their conclusions. Beliefs that aren't orthodox get rejected because they violate the orthodox New Atheist wordview. Cromwell's rule doesn't permeate the website.
RationalWiki is not about valuing empiricism and holding views backed up by empiric evidence. Wiki-entries get accepted when they speak for the orthodox side and not because they cite scientific studies to back up their claims.
Culturally people exposed to RationalWiki might come off with considering rationality as being about straw vulcan rationality.
Thanks for helping fill me in more about RationalWiki. I will keep this in mind and avoid directing people to it in the future. Much appreciated!
