I just realized that I'm not, really, a Wikipedian. I have never contributed to the Wikipedia proper. That's, admitedly, a rather strict definition, but I thought I'd ask: Is this supposed to be a listing of users here who also contribute to the Wikipedia in order to differentiate its self from the user listing? Or is it supposed to be a listing of the more regular contributors to ''this'' site? --[[User:Day|Day]] 05:31, 10 September 2005 (EDT) | I just realized that I'm not, really, a Wikipedian.

::Yeah, I agree...while it's supposed to be more generic to describe a wiki user (no matter the software type), it still gives the notion that Wikipedia is the end-all-be-all places for editing. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:32, 19 June 2007 (CDT) | |||
Revision as of 16:32, 19 June 2007
How is it that Joe B. got his name to appear without the User: bit in front of it, but the rest of us retain it? I'd rather be sorted under D, than U, really. I realize this is a minor thing. I just thought I'd wonder out loud. --Day 14:26, 29 August 2005 (EDT)
- Actually, I just did it in the normal namespace (i.e. without the "User" prefix. I do, however, plan on rectifying this. So please don't follow my wiki faux pas. Thanks! -- Joe Beaudoin 22:44, 29 August 2005 (EDT)
- Noted. I'll keep my eye out. Thanks. --Day 00:21, 30 August 2005 (EDT)
What is a Wikipedian?
I just realized that I'm not, really, a Wikipedian. I have never contributed to the Wikipedia proper. That's, admitedly, a rather strict definition, but I thought I'd ask: Is this supposed to be a listing of users here who also contribute to the Wikipedia in order to differentiate its self from the user listing? Or is it supposed to be a listing of the more regular contributors to this site? --Day 05:31, 10 September 2005 (EDT)
- Marianne also brought this up recently: why is category called "Wikipedians" while we're not Wikipedia? --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 11:13, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
- Yeah, I agree...while it's supposed to be more generic to describe a wiki user (no matter the software type), it still gives the notion that Wikipedia is the end-all-be-all places for editing. --Spencerian 11:32, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
