RationalWiki's 2019 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.

If everyone seeing this today donates $5, we will meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $2900Goal: $6000

This one needs the closest of BLP attention[edit]

He used to go to work on his Wikipedia article (e.g.) when it existed. It's been deleted, but I'll see if I can dredge up the old article text for our use under CC-by-sa - David Gerard (talk) 13:53, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

This is the good bits of that text - David Gerard (talk) 15:19, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

What does this mean[edit]

In 2008 the Securities and Exchange Commission revoked the registration of multiple registered securities including Omni Nutraceuticals, Inc. based on repeated failure to file required periodic reports with the SEC. The last report the SEC received reported a net loss of $7,032,000 in a period of nine months.<ref>http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2008/34-58764.pdf</ref>

It means that those companies can no longer issue stock or bonds because they did not fulfill the requirements. Was that your question? The Present King of France (talk) 21:58, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
Oh, it just sounded odd b/c Omni wasn't mentioned in-article. Thanks for the clarification attempt, tho. FuzzyCatPotato!™ (talk/stalk) 22:03, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
Yeah, I noticed that, too. Maybe the connection was lost in an edit. The Present King of France (talk) 22:07, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Articles in Google Scholar[edit]

Klee Irwin co-authored some papers published in "Classical and Quantum Gravity" which is a legitimate peer-reviewed established physics journal. I'm not saying he doesn't have credibility issues (at least based on his previous business) but publications in a legitimate science journal seems a far way to go if he was nothing but a fraud.
