Mutual Citation League
A primary function of Panda's Thumb is to provide "reliable sources" for wikipedia articles related to intelligent design, creation science, and evolution. However, it is also used as a reliable source by wikipedians in areas unrelated to the main contributors' expertise, such as documentary film making.
The NCSE also cites the Panda's Thumb as though it were an unaffiliated reliable source.[1]
Panda's Thumb is owned by the same group that owns TalkOrigins.[2] TalkOrigins is another self published website frequently used as a so-called reliable source on wikipedia for articles related to evolution, or the creation-evolution controversy.
