Comparison of CreationWiki, Evowiki, and Wikipedia

The online wiki based encyclopedias, CreationWiki, EvoWiki and Wikipedia, all present information on the topics of evolution and creationism. Wikipedia articles are strictly required to adopt a Neutral Point of View policy rather than taking sides on a controversy. CreationWiki writers allege that Wikipedia editors tend to disregard this policy in regard to creationism. [2] However, editing CreationWiki is subject to a policy that "Non-creationists are prohibited from editing articles, except for spelling and grammar corrections." [3] A wiki (IPA: <wee-kee> or <wick-ey>) is a type of website that allows anyone visiting the site to add, to remove, or otherwise to edit all content, very quickly and easily, sometimes without the need for registration. ... CreationWiki is an online collaborative documentation project dedicated to the promotion and advancement of the various forms of creationism, with an emphasis on young earth creationism and creation science. ...

In a similar way, EvoWiki's separation from the much larger Wikipedia allows it to specialize in evolutionary theory and present its own arguments unhindered by a neutral point of view. EvoWiki allows anyone to edit its pages but cautions that "[EvoWiki] is not 'viewpoint neutral', and we do not keep pro-creationism edits, or discuss the details of such edits and why we remove them."
