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!

Is this really a good article? I'm damned if I know, but I'm sure other articles at WP or elsewhere are more authoritative for such a huge subject? Is it for RW? Doggedpersistance 15:32, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

Franklin really needs a fun article. 95.14.204.154 (talk) 23:48, 30 October 2012 (UTC)


Biographical information[edit]

Franklin's Autobiography is full of exaggerations, so I'm not sure how much help that would be. Let's not go into much detail about his early life, and devote more attention to freethought. --TheLateGatsby (The end of the dock ) 18:32, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
