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 ![]() ![]() |

Thallium | Result: Deleted[edit]
Keep[edit]
- Currently the article appears to be mostly about foolhardy uses of a toxic chemical in consumer products. This seems to be reasonably related to the mission, at least to me. It could use some sources, to be sure; then again we aren't Wikipedia. - Smerdis of Tlön, for the defense. 19:49, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
- It's an example of scientific stupidity. Hubris, and reminders of it, are sometimes required. Fuzzy. Cat. Potato! (talk/stalk) 21:45, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- Unless radium also deserves deletion, I don't see why thallium is singled out. Okay, the snark factor is a wee bit over the top in the latter, but that hardly merits the axe, does it? ScepticWombat (talk) 11:31, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
Delete[edit]
- This was written by someone who thought Rw was wikipedia-lite; it has no relation to any part of the mission SophieWilder

- But it forms "large flabby singly-charged ions" ... just not enough to keep around. Delete!MarmotHead (talk) 22:13, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
