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 ![]() ![]() |

This is the ongoing analysis of RationalWiki's active (and not-so-active) editors. The table here, which breaks down an editor's contributions into specific months, calculates an average edit rate, and determines how "active" an editor is using real numbers (mostly integers).
Statistics are valid up to last month.
Ratings[edit]
These numbers are a rough guide to how these labels are applied. Contributions during the most recent three months have been selected as one of the criteria for assigning an "activity level": Out of ≈ 3,100 editors who left their mark on RationalWiki, 550 did so over the last three months, showing various degrees of activity:
Activity Rating | Edit Criteria | Jul '10 |
---|---|---|
Übermensch | >30 per day | 4 |
Hyperactive | >10 edits per day | 7 |
Very active | >3 edits per day | 30 |
Active | >1 edit per day | 34 |
Semi-active | >0.3 edits per day | 87 |
Comatose | >0.1 edits per day | 87 |
Dead | ≤0.1 edits per day | 301 |
The busiest 50 of these editors can be found in the following table.
User chart[edit]
- Averages are calculated from the time of the first edit to the last edit. The recent average is the average of the last three months and editors must have made a minimum of 100 edits.
- A blank, rather than a 0, denotes the time before a user registered with RationalWiki.
- The little
buttons allow you to sort the table by any column! One click for ascending, a second click for descending.
- Sysops' user names are shown in bold.

Active Editors Statistics at RationalWiki[edit]
RationalWiki's own page statistics includes an entry active users. Those are defined as users who have performed an action in the last 7 days, while at the similar page at wikipedia, this period is set for 30 days. For instance, on June 5th, 2009, RationalWiki counted 140 active users, while wikipedia had 158,605. Calculating these numbers for both time periods yields this graph - though, for the graph only those users are counted which made at least one edit, and not only performed blocks, etc.
