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. |

"Necroposting Bullshit"[edit]
Sorry, was I not supposed to respond at the saloon? That was my first edit here, I don't know how things work. --2603:6080:A200:7544:0:0:0:129D (talk) 03:51, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
Justification for edit[edit]
Why did you add the collapse again? Serious question. OldPerson (talk) 18:43, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- Please, revert yourself. The collapse is helping Nobody. OldPerson (talk) 19:35, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- I'm scared I will lose sysop rights if I edit under my other account, I am Not particularly productive as a user either. Still, it would be nice to talk with me instead of ignoring me as a red-linked vandal account from a completely new user. Not that I am on this site for very long already, but I am not some random troll. OldPerson (talk) 19:47, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- @OldPerson I will reiterate what another editor said in the saloon bar: Please do not bring your Wikipedia drama here. I'm sure that Wikipedia has a well established process for addressing editor conflicts. For the most part, contributors at RationalWiki don't care much about Wikipedia drama and take a dim view of those who bring it here. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 20:10, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

On current RMF plans[edit]
We're 1 month behind schedule now with the outreach step part of the Oregon plan. You wanted to set up the fundraiser, then you disappeared, few others chimed in. Still want to do it? We have a minimal quorum to get going, whoever does whichever part. I'll try to get more people onto the Discord in the next few days. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 05:03, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
Delete?[edit]
Hello Cosmikdebris. I recently created a draft with some basic content for a future article on Dov Charney. Yes, I did copy&paste some paragraphs directly from the Wikipedia article. But is this really such a big deal given my intention to rewrite the whole thing and add all kinds of additional content of my own? CapitalF (talk) 12:14, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
- Plagiarism, even from Wikipedia, is automatic grounds for deletion of an article. Antares (talk) 12:15, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
Anomaly[edit]
Do you have any objection if I make clarifications or correction on the Anomaly article, or should it remain frozen while the lawsuit is pending? Bongolian (talk) 16:21, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- I have no objections whatsoever. The change log for the article is open for all to see. The protection I placed on the article was to prevent anons from goobering up the article while the legal action proceeded. Thanks. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 16:47, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
Board - the bitch is back[edit]
I have rescinded my resignation from the Board and left a message on the Discord chat. Please look at it ASAP. DuceMoosoliniYour friendly RW

- @DuceMoosolini Welcome back. I won't be able to check discord until later this afternoon, but will do so as soon as I am able. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 16:00, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
