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!

  1. This article is very well-written, with nearly 80 sources to back up its various quotes and claims, is well-loaded with all the appropriate categories, and uses its images in an appropriate (and humorous) manner. Although not as lengthy as the average silver-rank article, it is incredibly relevant to RationalWiki's mission and is overall more than good enough to qualify for the status, as I see it.

  2. OK now. I spent a fair amount of work cleaning the article up. Bongolian (talk) 05:27, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
  3. It's clean, well written, and referenced. Why not? Justarandomliberal (talk) 11:36, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Status quo[edit]

  1. If the references were cleaned up, I would say yes, but... —cosmikdebris talk stalk 00:09, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
    Yes, needs reference cleanup. Bongolian (talk) 02:55, 26 January 2024 (UTC) The article contained at least three multiple dead links, so that showed that it was insufficiently critically-reviewed before nomination. Bongolian (talk) 18:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
    @Cosmikdebris, should be fixed now. Bongolian (talk) 02:54, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
