Ed Poor is, allegedly, Ed Poor the sysop on Conservapedia and former sysop of Wikipedia. If this is true, he is well known for creating useless stubs like "Two Meters" and categories like "Movies about football coaches with 11-year old daughters" on Conservapedia and was almost raised to Jimbo Wales status on Wikipedia until he was accused of power abuse and "stepped down" in embarrassment.
He was made a sysop in September 2010 by Ace McWicked, becoming an administrator of a "vandal site."[2]
Whilst boasting of his computer security skills in a super-secret Conservapedia discussion group, Uncle Ed revealed his (ridiculously obvious) RationalWiki password.[3] At the time of writing, he has failed to change said password despite knowing full well that the discussion group had been made public, leading several RationalWikians to believe that an imposter was posing as Edmund on T:WIGOCP.[4] What an idiot. Ty desysopped him shortly thereafter.
