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!
Donations so far: $8765.50Goal: $10000

Things to be done at some point

(Note: You can start or work on any of these that you want)

  • Countries:
    • Our coverage of African countries is lacking, we should improve that
      • Central African Republic - ongoing conflict, history of dictatorships
      • Chad - basically a French puppet state, good example of how colonialism continues to this day
      • Mauritania - notorious dictatorship, also the last place to formally abolish slavery
      • Namibia - Apartheid, genocide, overall a lot to cover with this one
      • Botswana - as a more positive example of a (relatively) successful African country
    • Guatemala - key example of US imperialism
    • Tsarist Russia - overall a lot to cover with this one, I'd need to do a lot of research before I could even begin to do this one justice
  • US history:
  • Other:
    • Amazon - how is this not already an article?
    • Tencent - shady Chinese company
    • Belt and Road Initiative - Chinese neocolonialism
    • Nine-dash line - more Chinese colonial bullshit
    • Conflict minerals in general could use an article
    • Opium - with its history with imperialism (Opium Wars), being a source of conflict in the Middle East, and the whole opioid crisis, there's a lot to work with
  • Pages that should be gold-quality, but aren't:
