2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

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 PayPal Logo.png!

RationalWiki:Toulouse Number

From RationalWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A Toulouse Number is the RationalWiki equivalent of a mathematician's Erdős number, being the number of degrees away an RW bureaucrat is from unofficial site pooh-bah Trent Toulouse. Anyone made a bureaucrat by Trent himself has a Toulouse Number of 1, those they bureaucrated are another degree away and have a Toulouse number of 2, etc.
