RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone seeing this today donates $5, we will meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $2900Goal: $6000

For future reference

Use double quotes ( " " ) for everything. It drives me nuts whenever I see people using single quotes when they're supposed to use double quotes. Don't be one of those people. If you continue, I shall be forced to think very judgmental things about your ability to hit the shift key on your keyboard.

I am a minimalist sometimes, Mr Two-spaces. :P

I use extra spaces everywhere when editing to help me differentiate between different chunks of wikicode (including where one sentence ends and another begins). I wish I could hit "enter" for a line break after every reference tag, too, so I didn't have to squint to differentiate references from the rest of the text anymore, but that gets rendered as spaces before and between references.

It makes sense to use single-quotes for scarequotes or titles.

Um, no it doesn't.

Uh-huh.

Single-quotes are for quotes inside quotes. That's it.
