I screwed up[edit]
I screwed up and put the RationalWiki there. I'm new here. Could someone please delete this page?
- @Fanfreak247 I moved it to draft space so you could continue to work on it without it being deleted. JJP...MASTER![talk to] JJP... master? 01:44, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
this should definitely be added[edit]

- While I was lurking in the rabbit hole, I found this video(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ9YAFYIBOU). I think I may have oversimplified this issue. Maybe, the question should be more about the fairness aspect and not the gender aspect. Herr Doktor Enter into the rabbit hole 06:08, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Is this guy an academic fraud?[edit]
Calls himself as "professor" but doesn't hold that academic position at any university. Not a PhD. Brisson (talk) 03:34, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- No, the "about" section on his channel is explicit about his credentials. 𝒮𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓃𝑒 talk 23:54, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- He certainly does not behave in a professorial, or even professional, manner. This goes down well when he is yelling back at crackpots on YouTube, but it is noticeable that he becomes rather defensive/offensive when experts disagree with some of his assumptions. He seems to lack any ability to self-criticise. This is an important element of doctoral-level research, and probably explains his lack of a higher degree.— Unsigned, by: 92.30.198.19 / talk
- "When experts disagree with some of his assumptions. He seems to lack any ability to self-criticise.". Do you have any links to back up your claims, because I really don’t see what you’re talking about?--Sultan Rahi (talk) 20:11, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- "he becomes rather defensive/offensive when experts disagree with some of his assumptions." I think this was posted a while ago, but his videos on Sabine Hossenfelder conclusively debunk this. PLMMJ (talk) 12:56, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Some whiny creationists lied about the content on this page, should we respond?[edit]
Some creationists calling themselves Real Science Radio made a "debunk" series on Professor Dave, and in the first episode they claimed that his article on RationalWiki said that he was a communist and an antisemite. Obviously, the page doesn't say this, but part of me wants to write a section "Things that RationalWiki does not say about Professor Dave" while another part of me thinks that since it's currently just a pair of whiny YECs, we shouldn't take action unless more people cite this page incorrectly. What should we do, if anything? PLMMJ (talk) 12:53, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
