New articles
- These aritlces have recently been added by the RW community. There may be plenty left to do to.
![]() ![]() ![]() | 3 | CO2 is Green - discussed at Saloon Bar recently. Needs proper refutation by people with some scientific knowledge. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 11 | Corporal punishment - is it wrong, right, rational, endorsed by crackpot wingnuts or opposed by knee-jerking moonbats? |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 6 | Emergence and Emergent phenomena - Wikipedia on emergence. Basically, where simple rules lead to complex results, giving the "appearance" of design when really it's just simple rules. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 4 | Risk - not just a board game. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 4 | Mistaking the map for the territory - A logical fallacy. "It refers to the mistaken belief that a symbol is the same as the reality it represents, and that one's measurements are the thing that they measure." [1] |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 6 | Scientific mythology - stories that convey scientific discoveries in a daramatised sense. Wikipedia has a list that could well be copied and pasted. Very relevant to Flat Earth etc. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 5 | Nutritionists - I might bang out an article describing these experts of pseudoscience. (Incidentally Ben Goldacre's dead cat is a certified member of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants, so they must be a very stringent bunch) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 4 | Operation Red Dog The KKK tried to invade Dominica in 1981 to set up their own government. |
Recent suggestions
- These are the most recent ideas for new articles.
![]() ![]() ![]() | -3 | Intact dilation and extraction - partial birth abortion. We need this. And late term abortion in general. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 2 | Virginia Foxx - She called Matthew Fox's murder "a hoax" |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 7 | Castillo v. Texas - a man was tried and convicted of selling mature comic books...to an adult... |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 5 | Maoism - still active in India and Nepal |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 4 | Déjà vu - I'm sure we had this article before... |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 7 | English Defence League - not sure if this is a genuine political group, a front organisation or just a bunch of thugs looking for a fight. They keeping cropping up in the news anyway. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 5 | Complex specified information (or specified complexity) This is a major "concept" in ID that we have no real article on. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 3 | David Farrant (for more information on him, see the Saloon bar) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | -4 | Cricket - pops up on the redlinks, (notably fom British Empire), anyone have anything to say about it? (Okay, maybe the drink had a role to play in this suggestion...) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 10 | National Council Against Health Fraud: seems to be right up our street? |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 14 | Multiple fields of creation science, such as, creation geophysics, creation microbiology and any other field they have had to recreate to make it fit in the genesis story. |
Older suggestions
- These are older suggestions, but perhaps they still haven't been made yet. Why not give them some love?
![]() ![]() ![]() | -8 | Wedding - to compliment our pretty good article on marriage (or possibly even a section in that article). Until you've been on the receiving end of a crazy-assed Bridezilla, you won't understand why this is relevant to RW. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 7 | Sunday school environmentalism or possibly woo environmentalism - basically all the crap that people think is environmentally friendly. but is really just crap. "degradable" plastic bags that don't degrade in landfill; recycled novelties that actually use more energy to "recycle" than would happen if you made one from scratch; hybrid cars which can have crap mpg etc - see wp:Greenwashing. This is covered as a section in environmentalism but can haz own artikl? |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 4 | Deal or No Deal - One cannot turn this program on (at least the UK version, not sure about elsewhere) without seeing someone claiming that there's a "pattern" or that their "magic crystal" is attracted to red. It started as a fairly straighforward game of chance, but has since almost turned into a walking advertisement for New Age crap. Although as they almost invariably fail, this isn't all bad. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 12 | Codex Alimentarius |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 4 | Orgonomy http://www.orgonomy.org/index.html, see also wp:orgone and wp:orgonomy |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 4 | Yoga - at present just a redirect to a "fun" page. Woo or not woo? Comment: I don't think they claim it's magic, and it certainly seems like a good personal fitness regimen? - Human |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 7 | Chronic Oxygen Debt Syndrome is a condition most of us suffer from. It has no symptoms of its own. There are no associations hosting fun walks or fund-raising marathons. You won't find the term in medical textbooks. And yet, it exists. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 8 | Help strengthen your health with the latest ancient technology! Aculife strengthens the immune system against Hypertension, Insomnia, Fatigue, Asthma, Ulcers, Hemorrhoids, High Blood Pressure, Rheumatism, Muscle Pain and many more common ailments. The Aculife is compact and lightweight enough to be taken virtually anywhere. You can even treat simple ailments like stiff aching backs, muscles and neck from travel or strenuous workouts. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 2 | Uncertainty tactic - related to FUD. Used by pseudoscience promoters to make it appear that there is uncertainty about scientific consensus, such as global warming, passive smoking and evolution. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 2 | Frederick Seitz - Did good science unless he was paid not to. Inventor of the uncertainty tactic. Very good article as SourceWatch. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | -2 | John Taylor Gatto - anti-public/compulsory schooling activist, favored by homeschooling movement and the free state movement among others. Him kan haz webshite. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 5 | Conservapedia:Conservapedian economics (Conservapedia plans to teach it in fall 2009) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 2 | Geo-engineering - artificial radiative forcing of the climate. interesting article, Wikipedia entry. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | -4 | http://www.geocities.co.jp/Technopolis/2561/eng.html - the website bordering on Time Cube clarity of a person who has been saying strange things on our forum for months |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 0 | Warren Steed Jeffs, (Former) FLDS Leader, polygynist |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 0 | Christian Civil Liberties Union - can't find much about the on teh tubez, can anyone closer to their sphere of operations (ie the same continent) help? |
![]() ![]() ![]() | -3 | Li Hongzhi, here is why |
![]() ![]() ![]() | -2 | ...and this (ari-rahikkala.livejournal.com) |
