[[image:GWUP-Freimaurer.jpg|Logo of GWUP-Blog, alleged proof of [[freemasonry]] and [[esotericism]] in skeptics' organization GWUP according to Claus Fritzsche. Citation Fritzsche: ''Note the icon reminiscent of a freemason symbol in the top left corner of GWUP-blog. This symbolism and the lurid style of the blog and its commentators is hardly different from the stuff some „esoteric“ world conspiracy and doomsday groups put in the world. You can almost see the foam at their mouths.''|300px|left|thumb]]

Using the pseudonym of ''rumsfeld2'', Fritzsche tried to integrate his personal views on homeopathy into Wikipedia articles, without giving valid sources as required by Wikipedia regulations. Additionally, he repeatedly attempted to place links to his website psychophysik.com into articles. When this failed, he resorted to denigrating Wikipedia entirely, and started to publish respective [[conspiracy theories]] in his blog. Fritzsche's Wikipedia activities ended with his permanent ban for vandalism.<ref>http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Rumsfeld-2</ref><ref>Posted: 16:46, Aug 21, 2007 Achim Raschka (Diskussion | Beiträge) sperrte „Rumsfeld-2 (Diskussion | Beiträge)“ für den Zeitraum: Unbeschränkt (Erstellung von Benutzerkonten gesperrt) (Verstoß gegen keine persönlichen Angriffe: Meinungsmache gegen einzelne Mitarbeiter und Verbreitung schwachsinniger Verschwörungstheorien, siehe http://openpr.de/news/153137/Wikipedia-im-Privateigentum-von-Nin)</ref> Fritzsche blamed his ban on a conspiracy of Nina Gerlach who was a board member of Wikimedia Germany e.V. at that point in time.

Blog and in OpenPR, an open access public relations portal.<ref>http://www.openpr.de/pdf/153137/Wikipedia-im-Privateigentum-von-Nina-Gerlach.pdf</ref> Fritzsche later claimed his edits in German Wikipedia under the pseudonym Rumsfeld2 had just been private "edit experiments". Such experiments as well as linking to non-reputable sources (or blogs) do not comply with Wikipedia regulations.

Fritzsche is a pronounced opponent of the German skeptics' organisation [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWUP Gesellschaft zur wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung von Parawissenschaften (GWUP)] (Society for the Scientific Investigation of Para-Sciences) based in Roßdorf near Darmstadt. GWUP is well known in Germany and e.g. organised the [http://www.worldskeptics.org/ 6th World Skeptics Congress 2012]. Fritzsche accused GWUP, in his view a "group of atheistic fundamentalists", of proceeding „esoterically“, „pseudoscientifically“ and „naively“. Fritzsche sees proof of this "esoteric" nature of the organisation in the GWUP logo which reminded him of a [[Masonry|„Freemason symbol“]]. Fritzsche believes GWUP to be part of a conspiracy in collaboration with German Scienceblogs and Psiram (''EsoWatch'').<ref>http://www.psychophysik.com/h-blog/?p=7326</ref> Cooperating with [[Rolf Finkbeiner]] (a climate skeptic, antivaccinationist, [[Germanic New Medicine]] proponent, ...) and [[Hans Weidenbusch]] (inventor of a [[Perpetual Motion|perpetual motion]] device), Fritzsche is the initiator of an anti-Esowatch campaign started in early 2009. In March 2009, he transfered activities against GWUP and Nina Gerlach from his H.Blog to a new site called GWUP.WATCH<ref>http://anonym.to/?http://gwup-skeptiker.blogspot.com</ref>, attended by anonymous "press releases".<ref>http://pressemitteilung.ws/user/22028/track</ref> Various writers at scienceblogs.de, most notably Prof. Dr. Dr. Ulrich Berger and [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florian_Freistetter Florian Freistetter], are being "watched" by Claus Fritzsche.
