* [[Edit War]]: On RW, edit wars and even wheel wars are extremely common. So common, in fact, that ''accidental'' edit wars have become an issue - sysops assuming vandalism where there is none and performing knee-jerk reverts of edits without reading them, the original contributor re-adding the edit, and things kicking off from there.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Or as they like to call it, "stopped clock" moments where those whom they deem as "crank" would do or say something redeeming for once.
** One notable example is [[Adolf Hitler]] who, despite his extreme antisemitism, somehow still had the shred of decency (''if you could even call it that'') to spare [[wikipedia:Eduard Bloch|Eduard Bloch]], a ''Jewish'' physician who served as the Hitlers' family doctor during Adolf's formative years. Eduard Bloch tended to the needs of both Hitler and his mother Klara who in 1907 suffered from breast cancer, to the point that he would sometimes outright refuse to bill the Hitlers or at least offer his services at a reduced cost. Hitler was indeed a wicked and irredeemable monster, sure, but the fact that he spared someone who belonged to that one very group of people he bitterly loathed bears noting. The wiki's editors did however [https://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Adolf_Hitler&type=revision&diff=2444643&oldid=2443882 remove] the passage in question [https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Adolf_Hitler#Stopped_clock_moments as they saw it] as simply a bigot making arbitrary exceptions just because of a friend who is in good graces with them regardless of social standing.
** [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]] with the "Inverse Stopped Clock" moment, where an otherwise rational/intellectual person somehow displayed moments of crankery.
* [[Everyone Has Standards]]:
