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!

It's almost identical to ad vanitatem.[edit]

Should we merge this with Argumentum ad vanitatem? Loc (talk) 20:15, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

I'd say yes, but vanitatem should probably be merged into this one, since an appeal to vanity is a subset of appeals to flattery. Agreed? FuzzyCatPotato!™ (talk/stalk) 01:37, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
Can't see a reason why I shouldn't. Loc (talk) 11:06, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
