Wikipedians are the people who write and edit articles for Wikipedia. Some might argue that Wikipedist would be a more appropriate name, just as encyclopedist means someone who contributes to an encyclopedia. The ending of Wikipedian, on the other hand, suggests someone who is part
of a group or community. So in this sense, Wikipedians are people who form The Wikipedia Community. For
additional discussion of the Wikipedia community, see the Meta site and Wikipedia:Who, Why?.
The number of Wikipedians has grown to over 80,000 user accounts, along with an unknown (but quite large) number of
unregistered contributors. More detailed statistical information about Wikipedia is available at Wikipedia:Statistics.
The diversity of Wikipedians renders it impossible to make many categorical statements about Wikipedians as a whole. Some
information about individual registered Wikipedians may be available on their user pages. However, users are not required to
create these pages, nor to post any information on them.
This page contains lists of Wikipedians by country, as well as various other groupings. Different categories have been created
due to demand. Individual Wikipedians may add themselves to appropriate lists if they wish. It is suggested that if you put your
name on one of the more specific lists, that you also include your name on the alphabetical list.

Other listings
All lists are strictly voluntarily. Indeed, we encourage you to spend your time categorizing our encyclopedic content, rather
than categorizing yourself!
Skills-based listings
We can all string a few words together (some better than others), however Wikipedia is in need of contributors with
other skills. If you are proficient in any of the following skills, please add your technological distinctiveness to
the collective.
- Photographers
- Cartographers
- Graphic Artists
- Transcribers
- Translators
Wikipedian associations
Some Wikipedians have formed voluntary associations to
participate in various activities on Wikipedia. Consult their pages if you are interested in joining.
- Association
of Members' Advocates
- Cleaning department
- Harmonious editing club
- Typo team & Redrwan awards
- Welcoming committee
