Conservapedia:DavidB4

This Conservapedia-related article is of largely historical interest and is no longer the focus of RationalWiki today. Conservapedia (and religious fundamentalism to an extent) was a major focal point in the early history of RationalWiki, but long ago ceased coming up with new ways to appall and amuse. Our energies are now spent debunking other, fresher examples of pseudoscientific claims, authoritarianism, and deceit. For RationalWiki's less ancient content, try the Best of RationalWiki.

To this end, he operates a bot named DavidB4-bot to correct spelling, syntax and formatting among others. DavidB4 adheres to Conservapedia's ideology of blocking the planet and has automated the process of blocking IP addresses. To date it has blocked tens of thousands of addresses, though in fairness these are blacklisted IP addresses. He may also be responsible for another bot named Minuteman that appears to be aimed at blocking users committing wandalism.
