| 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 |

Fair use[edit]
The best case for it is "The placement in a RationalWiki article is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original copyrighted media in any way. " of which, no it isn't. It's first use was you making a point via posting a picture in what can only be described as an intent to turn this wiki into a imageboard, and the second was on a fun page of dubious quality and which the picture in no way improves by being there. | After that it's parody, and it's a shit parody that isn't funny. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 04:49, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- Just because you don't like the joke doesn't mean it's not parody ┐('~`;)┌—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 06:35, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- Also y'all being unnecessarily harsh on this because I made it.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 06:36, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- Shut up with your goddamn persecution complex. Do you like being sued? No? Neither does the RMF. This was clearly a violation of copyright and didn't qualify as Fair Use (read up on what does here). Therefore, unless you are willing to take on a lawsuit against the RMF with your own resources and money, quit violating copyright laws. Gooniepunk (talk) 06:51, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- How many other fucking files are there on this website that don't meet any fucking requirements? And maybe you all should delete the god damn page properly. I fucking give up.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 07:00, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- Do you know of more copyright violations? Please point them out and I will deal with them accordingly. Otherwise, shut the fuck up! Gooniepunk (talk) 07:02, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- You're right, there are many files on this RW with either no copyright status, or a fair use disclaimer that's dubious. That is, in fact, why I am at this very moment working on a bot to clean that up as much a possible (User:Carpetbot is a humble beginning). As I've said before, that's no excuse to add to the problem. Carpetsmoker (talk) 07:03, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
