RfRx - Wikipedia: Under the Hood, Featuring Rob Palmer

This week on RfRx, our guest will be Rob Palmer, who joined the Guerilla Skepticism on Wikipedia (GSoW) project over a decade ago in order to make meaningful improvements to the world’s number one source of encyclopedic information.
Working within GSoW, Rob’s major Wikipedia articles have garnered tens of millions of pageviews by people looking for valid information regarding science and skepticism, and the GSoW team collectively has over 224 million views in many languages.
Rob will describe why Wikipedia is so important, reveal the “hidden” details most readers do not know about, including how to make your changes stick, and describe how you can join the international all-volunteer GSoW team working to improve the encyclopedia.

You can watch the show live either in Zoom or directly on YouTube. Bring your questions, and plan on staying for the Zoom hangout immediately after the show.

The first hour will be the topic discussion, followed by a Q&A session in which you can ask the guests your great questions. After the Q&A we’ll open up the lines for everyone and just talk and hangout for a bit with the hosts and guest(s). For RfRx comments, inquiries & topical questions, email us at RfRx@recoveringfromreligion.org.

The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. We are here to help each other through this journey.

There is no cost to attend RfRx but, if you feel so inclined, donations can be made at http://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/donate

Any time you are struggling with religious doubts or fears you can connect with a trained RfR Helpline agent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To chat online go to http://www.recoveringfromreligion.org.

If you are in need of professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment. Connect with them at http://www.seculartherapy.org.

RfR has an immense collection of well-curated resources available as you go through your journey, including resources for mental and physical crises, working with relationships, issues stemming from specific religions, coming out stories, and much more.
