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 ![]() ![]() |

Wikipedia.[edit]
While Wikipedia isn't a good primary source it is an excellent litmus test for whether or not an opinion is so insanely stupid that even their NPOV won't support it. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 22:45, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
- By its own terms, "Wikipedia is not a reliable source." [1] Curious (talk) 22:47, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
- You can copypaste that all you want, doesn't mean anything. As stated in my original post, I'm not using Wikipedia as a primary source, I'm using it as a litmus test to see whether your whitewashing flies over there or not. Because they have to treat everyone's opinions equally. When even they aren't buying it, the opinion is usually stupid and probably wrong. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 22:53, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
- It means what it says. Relying on a source that says it is not reliable is not rational. RationalWiki promotes (or claims to promote) critical thinking, which the "For Britain" article needs more of. "For Britain" policies are mostly liberal, but Wikipedia calls them "right wing" for no reason other than that they criticize (or blaspheme contrary to) Islam. On your User page, you wrote that "all religions are a form of psychosocial control and are therefore inherently bad for you."[2] Does calling Islam "inherently bad for you" make you right wing?
