		+	== Goals ==
		+	[[RationalWiki]] is possibly the best website ever made by <s>man</s> {{el\|http://www.rationalwiki.com/wiki/User:Tmtoulouse\|God himself}}. Anyone who reads this page should probably donate money to RationalWiki. We mean that. Because believe it or not, we our goal is to help the RationalWiki. We do this in three ways.
		+
		+	=== Identify groupthink ===
		+	Many of the good folks at RationalWiki share a similar world-view, and many of the more established users also share a common heritage following their experiences at CP. This can lead them to close ranks without really thinking of the consequences. An example of this would be the [[Fuck You Too Incident]].
		+
		+	=== Identify sysop abuse ===
		+	Sysops on RationalWiki were originally intended to (a) be given minimal control over site matters, and (b) sysops are janitors, not administrators. The reality is turning out to be somewhat different, however. Sysops '''do''' have power -- the power to block other users. By identifying the use of [[malicious block]]s, RationalWikiWiki seeks to keep that power in check.
		+
		+	=== Observe conflict resolution procedures ===
		+	RationalWiki doesn't really have a conflict resolution procedure -- they have to use [[Headless Chicken Mode]] to sort things out. We help them by offering an outside view of the infighting.
		+
		+	=== Axe grinding ===
		+	<s>The fourth of the three reasons for the existence of the site is simple axe grinding.</s>
		+
		+	== Dating ==
		+	This wiki used to use a bizarre dating scheme, where one day on RationalWiki was measured as one year, but this has been dropped as impractical. If you see any bizarre numbers given as dates (i.e., "year 1854"), it is probably remnants from the old calender.
