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
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! Carthage (talk) 13:40, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Sysop
Because of your edits to and time on the wiki, wizard Sysop has been added to your user rights. Feel free to let your newfound POWER course through your veins. Once the high wears off, see RationalWiki:Sysop guide for more information. If you have questions, bleat ask away. GeeJayKWhere all evil dwells Where every lie is true 19:37, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

About the initiation joke-block
No worries, that's a joke block that some of us used to use as a rite-of-passage for newly-demoted sysops. --Goatspeed. How's my editingCircularRasoningPrototype lab 03:46, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Mind connection
I was going to rename that article tonight, since we have an article on liberalism and on socialism but not one on "liberal" or "socialist". Saw that you had the same idea annd that you already did it for me. And you made the same typo I did a many many times here. It's Conservatism, not Conservativism. Two weird coincidences.

Moving pages
Please don’t move pages before patrolling them. It makes it impossible to patrol, and that red exclamation point just stays there forever until someone moves the page back to patrol it. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 22:25, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
152.26.89.200
Look at the contribs for 152.26.0.0/16. If I were you, I'd block for Pi months (or Pi weeks) and tag with {{schoolblock}}

Thanks
for hunting down and purging Luigifan ref notes. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoTry our pumpkin spice lasagna! 18:59, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- I usually come across them as I edit, but you're welcome. Ioe bidome (talk) 19:14, 25 October 2024 (UTC) P.S Any Luigifan edit larger than 200 bytes is probably a ref note. P.P.S If the notes section follows the references section, chances are Luigifan added it.
Mod Elections 2024
You've been nominated in the upcoming moderator elections. See the nomination at RationalWiki:Moderator elections/Nominations. Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 20:40, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
I know exactly why you wanted a reference for that…
You thought I was someone else didn’t you? I’m actually a retired user (nobody of significance though, just someone who can’t remember my log in). Ironically I was going to say something snide about that jackass in the edit summary (honestly, seeing the Spirit America team was what made me think of RationalWiki wiki, specifically a Harry Potter character’s obsession), but I decided against it because I didn’t want to get mistaken for a troll myself. I hope karma is getting him in prison, with all the things he said he wanted to happen to young girls. StopHate (talk) 17:16, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

For blocking an alt account too fast

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Somebody just wants to let you know you did something silly. |

Not a troll
Why did you collapse it? I am not a troll, I provided links. OldPerson (talk) 17:41, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- An alternative account of mine, under which I did not want to ask this question, is literally admin. I know that is not that much of a specialty here, but it is important to mention. OldPerson (talk) 17:43, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- You say you're a sysop here. Would you care to disclose it's identity? Ioe bidome (talk) 20:03, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
"I'm unaware of any lawsuit involving Anomaly and rationalwiki"
He's probably referring to this. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nmd.514529/gov.uscourts.nmd.514529.1.0.pdf

- Thanks for letting me know. I didn't trust random IPs blanking content, especially on figures like Anomaly. Ioe bidome (talk) 01:27, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
