Wikinterpreter

NightFlare: well, one more

Wikinterpreter is a well-established user of RationalWiki, known for his friendliness and rationality, but also for his odd attraction to epic trolling of sites such as Stormfront and Metapedia, like an internet hate machine. He may also have coined the phrase 'liaise with the cabal', motto of [[rationalwiki.info]] ([http://www.rationalwiki.com/forum/]) and the [[RationalWiki Forums]] ([http://www.rationalwiki.com/forum/]), but it was in fact presented as just a random comment post-facto, in order to wind up the Conservapedia admins, since he joined the Cabal at the beginning of RW 2.0, a mere month after it was loosely formed.

Amazingly, he is also one of the few users so eager to see his name in lights that he actually wrote his own self-serving thumbnail as can be seen above. Bad Wikinterpreter, bad.

Anyway, the user previously known as Wikinterpreter signs off with an indecipherable username which now takes us to "Interpreted". There is probably some profound significance to all this that passes mere mortals by. (He had his user name changed because he now interprets more than just wikis, apparently.)

As one of the few Christian experts at RW he is fluent in ancient Greek, biblical Hebrew, Latin and early Indo-European. His most recent project is to produce a RationalWiki translation of the bible in Sanskrit. Unfortunately, this is one of the few dead languages in which he is not fluent. Consequently he has arranged to have the technical assistance of [[AKjeldsen]] and [[Researcher]], and theological advice from closet Christians [[SusanG]] and [[Icewedge]].

Sometime around 2010, Wikinterpreter has his fine self renamed "Interpreted". His signature is still a series of unintelligible squiggles, though, so it's not that noticeable.

Fibonacci sequence

2008-02-27T01:43:38Z

NightFlare: Well, this got boring.

The Fibonacci sequence is a weird blocking sequence which is understood only by those with a university mathematics degree and which is theoretically used to calculate the length of blocks.

In reality, it is an utter waste of time as it has never once been used properly in the entire history of the known universe.

As a result, most RW sysops tend to block for intervals of pi * 10<sup>''n''</sup> seconds, with ''n'' being fairly arbitrary. No one knows why.

Bizarrely, and for reasons which will never be clear to man or beast, both [[Edgerunner76]] and [[Linus]] edited [[TK]]'s block length in a really futile attempt to maintain the pretense that this blocking system is understood and used. Perhaps they wanted to give some veneer of respectability to the [[The Great TK banning Incident]] which in every other respect was a prime example of [[Headless Chicken Mode]]. Even then, they got the numbers wrong.

Big Five

2008-02-27T01:42:18Z

NightFlare:

The '''Big Five''' are [[Tmtoulouse]], [[AmesG]], [[Human]], [[Linus]], and [[Airdish]]. They are so named because they are the only [http://www.rationalwiki.com/wiki/Special:Listusers?username=&limit=100&group=bureaucrat users possessing Bureaucrat status] on RationalWiki. They also are among the founders of RationalWiki 1.0 (although there were others, these five were the only ones to parlay that into Bureaucratship) and are, by definition, [[Cabal|Cabalists]].

Hojimachong

2008-02-27T01:38:53Z

NightFlare: Where the hell is the rollback button?

'''Hojimachong''' ("Hoji" to his freinds and lazy typists) a teenager from Seattle holds the distinction of having been a sysop at CP while also being on RW 1.0 ("the cabal") and then being a sysop on RW 2.0. While others can make similar claims, their tenure in these positions comes nowhere near Hoji's.

Hoji is not very active on RW, but does turn up from time to time, saying "hello" and making a few mainspace edits. He is probably busy with school, or life, whatever that is.

He is known to be an avid fan and [[playboy|player]] of "American Football".

RationalWiki social ladder

2008-02-26T01:49:50Z

NightFlare: /* Tier 7 */

The '''RationalWiki social rank''' forms the true hierarchy on [[RationalWiki]]. Due to [[Human]]'s and [[Pinto's5150|Pinto]]'s penchant for handing out sysopships like candy, sysop status is not a reliable indicator of actual power or influence on RW, as on CP. They are also too small to have a complex official bureaucracy, such as on [[Wikipedia]], and too determinedly anarchistic to want a complex ''unofficial'' bureaucracy, such as on [[Uncyclopedia]] or [[Conservapedia]].

The purpose of this list is to document the degree of power, influence, and respect commanded, not only on official and technical matters but also on a day-to-day basis. While rather arbitrary, as all of these factors must be composited into one, this list does provide a fascinating glimpse at the inner workings of RationalWiki.

Only those users on whom enough intelligence has been gathered are included on the list. Users are listed from highest to lowest.

==Tier 7==
This tier is reserved for goats.

*The [[Goat]]
*Other goats
*Heiðrún

==Tier 6==
The Gods of RationalWiki, these users command respect and influence above and beyond all the others. Note the prominence of the [[cabal]] members.
*[[Human]]
*[[AmesG]]
*[[Tmtoulouse]]

==Tier 5==
Tier 5 users command enormous amounts of respect and influence, though perhaps not as great as those of Tier 6
*[[PalMD]]
*[[SusanG]]
*[[AKjeldsen]]
*[[Pinto's5150]]
*[[Linus]]

==Tier 4==
Tier 4 users are significant and respected, but not as much as tiers 5 and 6. Some are [[cabal]]ists who are not as active as they once were. Others are newer but have reached the [[glass ceiling]].
*[[Kels]]
*[[Cracker]]

==Tier 3==
*[[Horace]]

==Tier 2==

==Tier 1==
Not quite on the bottom, these users are either so new they haven't had time to climb up the ladder or just aren't as interested in the site.
*[[Pretzel]]
*[[Barikada]]
*[[Ryan]]
*[[Paris Hilton]]

==Tier 0==
The bottomdwellers of RW, these users are disrespected and disregarded, and often openly persecuted.

MexMax

2008-02-26T01:32:52Z

NightFlare:

An editor who obtained some fame on [[conservapedia]] and then turned on them before arriving at [[RationalWiki]].

Opinion is divided over whether this was a (deniable) RW operation from the start or an independent editor. However the editor:

*1. Seems to have acted according to a long term plan.
*2. Seems to have been aware of all the significant RW/cabal personalities; as can be seen by his unblock list below.
*3. Turned up at RW immediately following his departure from CP.

On balance therefore it looks like an RW/cabal operation though Mexmax mentioned that he hadn't hear of RationalWiki until recently.

==Unblocking the cabal==
For clarity, the first fifteen named unblocks carried out by MexMax on CP are shown here. With the exception of RSchlafly and TK, they are all suspected [[cabal]] members.

*[[Helios]]
*[[Human]]
*[[GodlessLiberal]]
*[[Wikinterpreter]]
*[[Horace]]
*[[RSchlafly]] - Not known to be a cabal member.
*[[Icewedge]]
*[[Samwell]] - Acknowledged cabal sock.
*[[Cracker]]
*[[Linus]]
*[[TK]] - Hopefully not a member of the cabal.
*[[Hojimachong]]
*[[Tmtoulouse]]
*[[AmesG]]
*[[PalMD]]001
