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 ![]() ![]() |
Talk:Element
Really? And we need or want this, why? --Godot 16:11, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

- It was an improvement over the redirect, I suppose, as the category page was turning into an article.

- This is the kind of thing we should just direct to WP for, unless we can find some woo related to elements. Cow...Hammertime! 16:16, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- Fully agree. Aresinc, for example, I'd keep when focused on NASA and new life, cause that is critical to our mission. Showing not only that life might evolve, but how the Scientific Method works, when someone does/says something not so "correct". But just a list of elements and some basic descriptions seems to be way off into "recreate wiki" land.--

- If my head wasn't all the fuzzy-fuzzy right now I'm sure I could find missionality trivia on most of them.

Could some strapping fellow mark this for deletion[edit]
...Or expand it? That'd be great. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 10:59, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
Really though[edit]

Classical elements[edit]
Do we have a page for pre-scientific or fantasy uses of the term "element", e.g. fire, water, air, and earth (sometimes expanded to include electricity, light, darkness, metal, wood, ice, etc.)? If not, should that get its own page or be included in this one? --Luigifan18 (talk) 17:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
