Conservapedia:What is going on at CP?/October 2017

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.

Conservapedia Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (COCD) In August 2013, Ken was responsible for more than half of all revisions (nearly 2000 out of ca. 3,500). This is not a symptom of Conservapedia Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Similarly, neither is embarking on edit sprees that last for hours days a symptom of Conservapedia Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. See also: Becoming Kenservapedia. Apparently, Google returning a link to something means it's officially recognisedimg as a mental disorder. What an amazingimg insight. Update 1: Within hours of someone pointing out that it's the DSM-5 now, not 4 on the What is going on at CP? talk page, there was this edit.img No irony here. Update 2: Not a symptom of RationalWiki Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (ROCD). Update 3 (April 2018): "Essay: An irreligionist obsessing about the User: Conservative account"img, which was coincidentally written a rather short time after a certain post appeared on the What is going on at CP? talk page, was also coincidentally deletedimg within hours of this WIGO update. This, however, is also not a symptom of RationalWiki Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, nor is it a sign of a complete lack of machismo. “”The editorsssSsßsСsсsΣsσsς (Plural! More than one! Geddit?!) who uses a certain account to non-compulsively edit a certain trustworthy encyclopedia, and who is completely not obsessed with RationalWiki, likely often psychologically projects himself as a dog with a bone. His dogged persistence in thinking about the WIGO CP page and its talk page, checking the WIGO CP page and its talk page on a nearly hourly basis, and responding to the WIGO CP page and its talk page never really ends.

Ken, howling into the void, uses the Las Vegas shooting as an excuse to slam atheism.img Update: Wiping the years of dust off the Red Telephone, Ken delivers his message: Checkmate atheists!img — a checkmate so overwhelmingly victorious that the page gets deleted within hoursimg of this WIGO update, in an act befitting an editor with a high level of machismo! Olé, olé, olé!
