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 ![]() ![]() |

On snark[edit]
You might want to read RationalWiki:What is a RationalWiki article? Plutocow (talk) 02:23, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
I will gladly review it. I understand that RW articles do have snark. I was only trying to remove snark that didn't follow the guidelines or went over the line. Sometimes articles can feel less like well-thought articles with snark and more like hit pieces. ModeratelyR3 (talk) 03:26, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

AFDs[edit]
You have to actually create the AfD page yourslef if you want to nominate a page for deletion. Additionally, never put the template on talk pages as we don't delete those. Plutocow (talk) 04:29, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks. I will be sure to do so. Sorry for the previous errors. Which page gives further instructions on AfD process? ModeratelyR3 (talk) 02:25, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
