Wonkpedia is the website you're currently viewing. D'oh!

== History ==
Wonkpedia was created in October 2021 after a few years of consideration. From there, it reached over 20 articles by the end of the month.

== Bias on Wonkpedia ==
One of the best things about Wikipedia is the goal to strive for an unbiased, neutral tone. It's one of the reasons it has the wealth of accurate information it does. However, this creates some limitations in the scope of thinking in terms of the Arms Control field. For one, it reinforces the existing status quo against nonproliferation. For another, it doesn't allow you to categorize speculation or bleeding-edge research in the field.

Wonkpedia has no such illusions of being unbiased on Arms Control. In other words: '''Wonkpedia is explicitly in support of Arms Control'''. We are under no illusions that a nuclear war can be won, or that the current "status quo" of nuclear strategy is sustainable forever.

In other words: '''Wonkpedia is explicitly in support of Arms Control'''. This isn't to say that debate or neutral analysis of issues is discouraged: we seek to properly enumerate different positions on arms control, but we are under no illusions that a nuclear war can be won, or that the current "status quo" of nuclear strategy is sustainable forever.
