You get called a lot of things on Wikipedia, many of them quite creative. Here's what I've been called that I'm aware of. As for what I really am, well feel free to tell me. For obvious reasons, most of the really creative titles have been insults stemming from my admin work.

As Insults edit

  • A Jew (well, I had to clean it up a bit) - by User:Sanford-JJ
  • part of the Wiki-cabal - by User:Simoncursitor
  • Someone "click[ing] through Wikipedia all day and delet[ing] all of the articles you don't think are important enough"
    • Also "the decision maker as to what the 'broader community' is" - both by User:Crandolph
  • Someone engaging in "clearly illegal behaviour" - by User:Bosniak
  • Someone "dictating other pages" - by User:Raanan3000
  • A vandal - by User:PeterJohn2, after I'd closed his disruptive AfD
  • Someone who is "Cagey about being a Wikipedia official"
    • Also "one of these people who revels in being snide and in leading people up garden paths" - both by User:Hurmata, after suggesting he may wish to review his AfD rationale
  • Someone with an "editorial policy...based on 'because I can'" - by User:STEALTH RANGER
  • User:Ghirlandajo told me that I supported "extremist editors" when I advocated "keep" in an AfD he began
  • Someone who "has clearly not done anything more than a basic scan of the article" by another user removing a PROD template, as apparently I had erred by referring to a rugby union player as a "footballer". Given that the player is still obstinately non-notable...
  • "Disruptive" and someone who needed to re-read a particular policy (paraphrased from a longer comment) by a user who then cited part of the same policy which in fact supported what I had been doing all along (and who has been advised that their own behaviour isn't particularly constructive)
