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. |

- Thanks for fixing that mess up. I don't know a lot about Winfrey, as I have never watched her show, and I have totally abandoned following US-American debates about religion and atheism and public life, so I had nothing positive to add to the article -- but it seemed to me that under that mess that PC left behind, there might have been something actually worth writing about.
