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 ![]() ![]() |

Autopatrolled[edit]
Because of your edits to and time on the wiki, Autopatrolled has been added to your user rights. This lets you bypass most of the abuse filters, bypass the CAPTCHA, and edit more frequently. If you have questions, bleat ask away.
We hope you enjoy your newfound POWER — and these external tools:
- Google Scholar Button (Chrome, Firefox) searches your highlighted text in Google Scholar. Easily check academic citations!
- web.archive.org and archive.today, among other tools, can save permanent copies of webpages. Never lose a crank website or racist Tweet ever again! Vee (talk) 20:42, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for telling me about those archive websites. That will be very helpful as far as my work and my personal interests. Erik10012 (talk) 18:26, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
Sorry about that[edit]
You got caught by the filter by mistake, I unblocked you. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 13:14, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- I will try it again. It was a BBC video. Erik10012 (talk) 13:15, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know. It was a false positive from a new filter that I miss-configured while editing. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 13:17, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
My banning[edit]
I just saw that I was blocked with the message: "Ban evasion: Suspected Ken sock, prove me wrong".
What does this mean? And how am I supposed to prove a negative? Erik10012 (talk) 15:31, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- Your editing behaviors are similar to a banned user who frequently makes socks. You passed my first test, so you are now unblocked. I'll elaborate further after some more activity.
