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!
Donations so far: $1675.86Goal: $10000
Information icon.svg At the chicken coop, we are currently voting on a change to the blocking policy to clarify when offsite behavior such as harassment and brigading can get someone banned from RW. A reminder that you need at least 75 edits and to have had an account for at least 3 months to vote.

Elon Musk | Result: Demoted to Mars-base colonist[edit]

Elon Musk (edit|talk|history|protect|delete|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Silver[edit]

  1. This article is illustrated, exhaustive, and the citations are both numerous and properly formatted. Musk's relevance to the mission is also blindingly obvious given his status as a supreme enabler of far-right politics, purveyor of bullshit, and con artist and labor rights violator extraordinare.

  2. The write-fest continues to surprise us with all these improvements. I would help y’all out in the writing but I’ve got finals to study for. --Goatspeed. See what I'm up toCircularREmail2.gifasoningSee my latest prototypes 18:52, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

  6. Looks good to me. Might do some tinkering later. 🎄Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano🎄Ask about our holiday specials! 21:29, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Status quo[edit]

Goat[edit]

  • A few of the citations could use some better formatting, but otherwise it looks good. Bongolian (talk) 05:49, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
  • I dunno. I think it certainly leaves something to be desired even though it does have a lot of good. The article isn't "messy" per se, but there's something about it that makes it almost feel like it is — one thing is perhaps that fact that the Twitter section might be too verbose (that is, it could be better summarized, given more brevity without too much loss of content — similar incidents might be clumped together into the same paragraph or sentence). I wouldn't find a demote to silver to be controversial, but I'm not sure about voting for it myself. Chillpilled (talk) 14:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
