SkepticWiki or something like it would be a much better name for RationalWiki, but it's probably too late. The name is a bit of a historical accident. SkepticWiki was already taken ... though they've now given up, and skepticwiki.org redirects to RW. Ah well.

(RW has now reached the stage where its popularity is sending it broke. Also, they need a new sysadmin. And I just volunteered, Dawkins help me.)

Of course, most of RW is shit. But the good bits, they're lovely. (The LW article is only a bit shit.)
