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  !

What Qualities Should A Bureaucrat Have?
A bureaucrat is the true voice of the people in a Wiki project. He or she is supported and recognized by all as a fair administrator of the rules, who does not spark controversy, but instead mollifies it, bringing users together rather than splitting them apart. I cannot think of someone more diametrically opposed to everything the position entails than Conservative is. He never writes an article; he quotes pundits at length, pasting their opinions in for his own. He never responds to questions; he bans users or protects his talk page, or simply refuses to reply. He never mediates disputes; he creates them. Truly, I cannot imagine why someone who has been protested so much as a sysop would be recommended as a bureaucrat.-AmesG yo! 10:46, 26 April 2007 (EDT) [1]
