2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' 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.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Fun? Delete?[edit]

Missionify, or move to fun, or delete - anything but this. There's some possible snark to be added about rugby and class, but at the moment this is neither on-mission enough for mainspace nor funny enough for funspace. Opinions? Yours trulyDear Sir 05:10, 29 January 2009 (EST)

It's a fair point. The only real way I can really see to missionify it is to stress the apocryphal nature of the story of the origins - it's one of those stories that a lot of people know but doesn't really get debunked very much. Not sure how 'on mission' that is though. Possibly a move to 'fun' if it's cleaned up and expanded a bit - I could certainly have a go at that. Worm (t | c) 05:28, 29 January 2009 (EST)
The Webb Ellis myth has been debunked, but it's *only* sport mythology, hardly worth taking time over. However I think adding a few jokes and moving to Fun would be best. Yours trulyDear Sir 06:03, 29 January 2009 (EST)
I don't think it's inconsitent and factless enough to be funspace material. :P ArmondikoVtheist 09:22, 29 January 2009 (EST)
We'd have to funify it to justify that. I'll see what anti-rugby jokes I can steal think of. Yours trulyDear Sir 11:47, 30 January 2009 (EST)
It's often said that Rugby Union consists of gentlemen playing a thug's game, and that Rugby League is thugs playing a gentlemen's game. Or is it the other way around? I never can tell. Lar (talk) 22:34, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

The article does not pertain to the object of the site. What must be done? Pointed moment (talk) 21:44, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Much as I'd love to take the easy way out an vaporise it, I think moving it into the fun namespace and cleaning it up will be the more constructive option.Several ingredients (talk) 04:38, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
