It's their userpage. As long as they get on with writing an encyclopaedia, we don't tend to mind.

Yes, that's true. The only problem is that they aren't really writing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/KEncyclopediaB) However, this is not a particularly serious problem and after all http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editors_matter is an important thing to consider in these situations.

First mistake the jumps out at me: As far as I know, the Free Masons are not historical, they still very much exist. They have plenty of secrets, but I can't see any of them "shaking the foundations of History".
Second mistake: The Free Masons are very good at keeping secrets. They wouldn't be stupid enough to print them on billions of pieces of paper which get handed out to every man and his dog.

Actually the Free Masons are awful at keeping secrets. Any secret organization worth its salt wouldn't have hundreds of conspiracy theories about it. Heck, we'd probably not even know they existed.

Knowing it exists and that there are secrets is all that is required for people to come up with conspiracy theories, they don't need to know any of the secrets - there is plenty of smoke without fire.
Ideally, we wouldn't know it exists, but it's been around for so long that someone was sure to notice sooner or later.

Hiding in plain sight seems clever enough to me.
