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 who saw this today donated $5, we would 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

The page current claims "All content on uncyclopedia is free of copyright.", which is 1) blatantly untrue, and 2) blatantly untrue. The picture on Uncyclopedia currently resides under Category:Blatant copyright violations, particularly since Wikimedia doesn't allow any of its logos to be used without permission. But fortunately, nobody cares. --Toiretni 18:23, 22 August 2008 (EDT)

this pixelates soooo badly around the edges[edit]

Couldn't we use the proper Wiki logo? -- =w= 13:14, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

For some reason it's very crunchy at 60px, but not so much at other sizes.
59px, 60px, 61px: Bouncywikilogo.gif Bouncywikilogo.gif Bouncywikilogo.gif
I've checked in Chrome, IE & Firefox, & the effect is the same in all of them. So I switched it 59px in the {{wp}} template. Fun fact (or lame onservation): this bounces really fast in Firefox, really slow in Internet Explorer, & somewhere in between with Google Chrome.

Funny... 59 looks ok, 60 looks like shit and 61 looks a lot like 59. They're all still pretty bad. — Sincerely, Neveruse / Talk / Block 20:11, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Strange, they all look the same to me. But hey, if you fixed a problem some people are seeing, great. ħumanUser talk:Human 01:22, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Yep, because I deleted the thumbnail, forcing MW to recreate it with our (apparently) better current image resizer. The old 60px thumbnail was very old. The 59px was new. -- Nx / talk 13:11, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Shit, I don't suppose we could write them a nice letter?. - π 13:16, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
If they allow uncyclopedia to use it, I doubt they'll go after us. But they may not look kindly on us relicensing it. -- Nx / talk 13:18, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
We are using it to illustrate Wikipedia, ot their articles at least, but the fact that it is a derivative might up rock that boat. - π 13:22, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
