Will the entries from James Randi's "Encyclopoedia of the Paranormal" be put into the JREF wiki? It would seem to be an ideal nucleus around which the rest could grow.

I doubt it. Right now, it is not an official part of the JREF.

Asking this question in the JREF Wiki forum might get more responses.

Then again, maybe not!

We've already got 150 articles. I think that is a prett solid nucleus.

Personally, I would like the JREF Wiki to link to, and be linked from, the JREF Encyclopedia.

Two reasons:

1. The JREF Encyclopedia is not being continuously updated, as the Wiki is. It's more like a fossil of Randi's writing than a living resource, but it does have good arguments in it.
2. I think that both resources are useful, BUT its difficult to link directly to articles in the Encyclopedia. So the Wiki is a much more useful resource when discussing new issues.

By the way, if there ever was to be a merger between the SkepDic and the JREFwiki then I'm all for it.
