Armondikov has been an editor at RationalWiki since March 2008, and became a Sysop on the last day of August 2008, and a Bureaucrat on 17 February 2009. The demotions were done by П and Radioactive afikomen respectively. ^[8] He had a PhD in chemistry,^[9] but it was taken away when his colleagues discovered his thesis was nothing more than an extended slash fiction of Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nassim Taleb. He removed his cratship on May 9 2011, citing that he does not use it. It was returned very shortly by Lily.

He is very active and his edits are mostly on talk pages, science/pseudoscience articles, and conspiracy theories.

[edit] Stance on faith healing

Armondikov is a strong opponent of faith healing, active on the Christian Science talkpage^[10] and other frontiers of faith healing. He authored an essay^[11] "Get out of Jail Free", a brutal attack against those who use faith healing as a excuse to literally get away with murder. The essay also included the phrase "You know what? FUCK to tolerance and respect!", thus immediately qualifying him for a Richard Dawkins Burn in Hell Award.

[edit] Retirement and return

Armondikov retired on 29 January 2010.^[12] His "retirement speech" includes critical statements about RationalWiki, for example "a small piss-hole" and "It's pretty much a 4Chan wannabe now". After the formation of the Loya Jirga and the community promise to deal with MarcusCicero's trolling from then on, he returned.

[edit] Being productive

Armondikov played a central role in the make-over of RW, most notably the new and improved WIGO buttons and icons. He is also a strong proponent of the article rating system introduced in 2010.^[13] Armondikov is the third most prolific account, and 4th most prolific editor in RW's history^[14], and overtook human in late 2010 and January 2011 as king of the edit count. He has created numerous high use templates, as well as most of the little icons on nav sidebars.

[edit] Operation Get the Fuck Over It Already

Armondikov shares the opinion of several editors such as Reckless Noise Symphony in that Conservapedia should no longer be the main focus of the site.

[edit] Trustee

In November 2010, Armondikov became one of the first three members of the Board of Trustees along with Human and Tmtoulouse.^[15] They would later resign from the board.

[edit] Egotism

"For those who want fries with this article

McWiki has a page about Armondikov

Yes, Armondikov created his own WIGO dedicated to himself, where one can learn that he has a brother, sleeping problems, and likes Final Fantasy. He also had a large collection of egotistical quotes interesting, thought-provoking statements he referred to as shits "pearls". It now consists solely of criticism by others, notably human and Brxbrx.

[edit] Gender

Armondikov's gender was ambiguous. Fall down seemed to think ADK was male.^[16] However, many of the vandal attacks on their userpage referred to ADK as a woman. Also, when ADK signed up here at RWW, he claimed he were female, and then a vandal claimed he was male.^[17] This went on several times, the page now redirects to their article. The description of an image in the Brian Cox article may also make the case for female.^[18] Our resident Creepy Stalker investigative journalist has frequently tried to figure out ADK's gender, which always has resulted in failure. Armondikov uploaded a rather attractive alleged self portrait^[19], and it is definitely^[20] female. ADK has since commented that they have a floor length beard. ^[21] They also later removed category:Pictures of RationalWikians from it. ^[22]

[edit] The Saloon Bar Putsch

Armondikov launched the Putsch by decrateing everyone, apparently with the intention of blanking the slate so coherent crate policies could be worked out. After the ensuing chaos, they were nominated to be crate. They refused. ^[23] On the 17th of May, ADK blanked their user page^[24], and talk page. ^[25] They were not seen for an entire month, and they still have not "said" anything. Eira noted that they resigned from the board shortly after. ^[26] As the board comment was made by Eira, and the board requires users to give their real names, Armondikov was male. ^[27] Eira later changed ADK's entry on the "You have 2 cows" article. ^[28]
