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

Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease can I make this please. I need this in my life. I'll even like, go through twitter and analyse his style and make it convincing. Decidedly not a sock of User:Fareeha_A 14:51, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

We always need more Trump fun articles, people have done this sort of thing before. Christopher (talk) 14:56, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Is there any way to have the system auto-fix syntax? Like making sure he/she match with his/hers? L'homme Idéal (je rigole). 16:37, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Is Donald Trump's actual Twitter picture copyrighted? If it was could it qualify for fair use (parody)? Christopher (talk) 16:49, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Twitter account photos are so small, particularly as the appear in the tweet stream, that it's doubtful that they could qualify for copyright protection. Bongolian (talk) 17:56, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

You guys..[edit]

Have done it QuQ. My dream has come true. Now, is there a way to make it select choices based on my User:/tweet pages? They're for different styles of tweets. That's what I was trying to do when I deleted ~3000 bytes lol. Great job all! Koi "dammit Koi stop making such long sigs!" development 23:45, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

I don't think that's possible. Wiki markup is not a full-fledged programming language, which is what I believe you would need. Bongolian (talk) 00:08, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
it is possible. Christopher (talk) 16:40, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
Good work, Christopher! But, it would be better to put these in a more "public" location. Bongolian (talk) 16:56, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
You mean move them out of Koi's userspace? Christopher (talk) 17:48, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
Yes: either Fun space or Template space. Bongolian (talk) 18:47, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Suggestion[edit]

Use some of the more 'peculiar' typefaces - eg Fun:Comic Sans‎/Fun:Papyrus‎. Not sad. (Captcha comment this time 'hear hear') 86.191.125.251 (talk) 12:14, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Done!ClickerClock (talk) 12:41, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
Seems plaintext to me (two different computers). 86.191.125.251 (talk) 21:26, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
Fixed! ClickerClock (talk) 23:01, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

But goat is God[edit]

Goat is always good. And it's not about 100% looking like his twitter profile as we got Comic Sans in his tweet for goat's sake. ClickerClock (talk) 10:38, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Doesn't look like Comic Sans to me (I'm using Chrome on a tablet), I think it should be as much like his actual Twitter as possible. Christopher (talk) 10:42, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
How about a bunch of eggs? ClickerClock (talk) 12:54, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
I personally think anything that makes it look less like a tweet is bad, if we were to have something there it should definitely be goat though. Christopher (talk) 13:06, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
What about this? Christopher (talk) 13:12, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
The bunch of goat pics were the people who retweet his tweets.—(((CheeseburgerFace))) Spinning-Burger.gif (talkstalk) 03:35, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
No sooner than the appearance has gotten close to Twitter, than Twitter has changed its appearance! Bongolian (talk) 19:01, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

This needs to be updated[edit]

Apparently Twitter has changed its appearance or something. Christopher (talk) 20:07, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

sighhhhhh okie. Koi "the spelling's on porpose!" development 20:17, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
