'''Wikipedians''' are [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is a volunteer service|volunteers]] who contribute to [[Wikipedia]] by [[Help:Editing|editing]] its pages, unlike [[WP:Reader|readers]] who simply read the [[Wikipedia:What is an article?|articles]]. Anyone—including you—can become a Wikipedian by [[Wikipedia:Be bold|boldly]] [[Wikipedia:Editing policy|making changes]] when they find something that can be added or improved. To learn more about how to do this, you can check out the basic [[Help:Introduction|editing tutorial]] or the more detailed [[Help: Wikipedia: The Missing Manual|manual]]. |
|||
Wikipedians do a wide variety of tasks, from [[Wikipedia:Typo Team|fixing typos]] and removing [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] to [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|resolving disputes]] and [[Wikipedia:Featured content|perfecting content]], but are united in a [[Wikipedia:Prime objective|desire to make human knowledge available to every person on the planet]]. |
|||
'''Wikipedians''' are the people who write and edit articles for [[Wikipedia]]. |
|||
There are currently more than 700 confessed contributors (although there are over 10,000 user accounts and an unknown number of anonymous contributors). This arguably makes a community - see [[m:The Wikipedia Community]]. |
|||
To understand how we cooperate (and fail to or refuse to), please read [http://meta.wikipedia.com meta.wikipedia.com]. To read testimonies or theories about what motivates different people to participate in the project, see [[Wikipedia: Who, Why?]] |
|||
==Number of editors== |
|||
'''Here is a list of all the contributors who have put their name on this list.''' |
|||
{{Wikipedia editor graph}} |
|||
There are no particular requirements for Wikipedians' personal pages; some people write up bios, some don't; some Wikipedians maintain a private catalogue of their work, some don't. |
|||
The English Wikipedia currently has [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFUSERS}}]]<ref>This number is dynamically updated with the [[WP:MAGIC|magic word]] NUMBEROFUSERS</ref> [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|users]] who have registered a username. Only a minority of users contribute regularly ([[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}}]]<ref>This number is dynamically updated with the [[WP:MAGIC|magic word]] NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS</ref> have edited in the last 30 days), and only a minority of those contributors participate in [[Wikipedia:Dashboard|community discussions]]. |
|||
We begin with lists of people by place and by time of arrival, '''followed by a ''complete'' listing'''. |
|||
In 2023, 812,635 registered editors made at least one edit;<ref>https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/80211</ref> about half of these were new accounts making their first (and often only) edit.<ref>https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/80159</ref> There are about 10,000 higher-volume experienced editors active during a typical month.<ref>https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/78064. This particular query counts the number of registered editors who averaged at least one edit per day during the last month, with a minimum total of 500 edits and a minimum account age of one year.</ref> In a given month, more than 5,000 editors make at least 100 edits.<ref>[https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/en.wikipedia.org/contributing/editors/normal%7Cline%7Call%7Cactivity_level~5..24-edits*25..99-edits*100..-edits%7Cmonthly Editors graph] at stats.wikimedia.org </ref> |
|||
If you put your name on a place listing such as [[Wikipedians/Australians]], please don't neglect also to include your name on the main list. |
|||
An unknown but relatively large number of [[Wikipedia:IPs are human too|unregistered Wikipedians]] also contribute to the site. As of 2012, most logged-in editors had edited as unregistered Wikipedians before registering their accounts.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pande |first=Mani |date=2012-05-10 |title=59 percent of logged-in Wikipedians started as anonymous editors |url=https://diff.wikimedia.org/2012/05/10/59-percent-wikipedians-started-anonymous/ |access-date=2022-09-01 |website=Diff |language=en-US}}</ref> |
|||
Listings by culture: [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians by culture]] |
|||
As of February 2015, when about 12,000 editors were eligible to vote in the [[:meta:Stewards/Elections 2015|Wikimedia Stewards Elections]], their eligibility was based on their English Wikipedia edit count. It applied to those who had an edit count of at least 600 overall and 50 since August 2014. This was about one-quarter of the number of Wikipedians who had 600 edits overall. (See the [[Wikipedia talk:Wikipedians|Talk]] page for details.) |
|||
== Listing by country == |
|||
Please list yourself both by your nationality and also by your place of current residence! |
|||
For example, if John has moved to the [[United States]] from [[Ireland]], he can put himself in both places at once (if he wants to). |

[[United Nations University|UNU-Merit]] (United Nations University-Merit) completed the 2010 [[:meta:Research:UNU-MERIT Wikipedia survey]] of Wikipedia users, including both contributors (registered and unregistered) and readers.<ref name="UNU-M">{{cite web |last1=Glott |first1=Ruediger |last2=Schmidt |first2=Phillipp |last3= Ghosh |first3=Rishab |date=March 2010 |title=Wikipedia Survey—Overview of Results |url=http://www.wikipediastudy.org/docs/Wikipedia_Overview_15March2010-FINAL.pdf |url-status=usurped |work=Wikipedia Study |publisher=UNU-MERIT |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110728182835/http://www.wikipediastudy.org/docs/Wikipedia_Overview_15March2010-FINAL.pdf |archive-date=28 July 2011}}</ref> 176,192 people chose to participate, approximately 58,000 of whom were contributors to Wikipedia. Many of the findings were reported as an aggregate and were not separated by user type. Only the statistics relevant to Wikipedians are presented. In 2011, the WMF (Wikimedia Foundation) presented a questionnaire to logged-in Wikipedia editors (does not include unregistered Wikipedians) to gain a better understanding of the demographics, perceptions and motivations of Wikipedians.<ref name="2011 WMF Survey">{{cite web|title=Wikipedia Editor Study: Results From the Editor Survey, April 2011|url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Editor_Survey_Report_-_April_2011.pdf|website=Wikimedia|publisher=Wikimedia Foundation|access-date=9 January 2021}}</ref> Over 5,000 people responded to the survey.

WMF reported 43% of respondents are currently enrolled in school or post-secondary education.<ref name="2011 WMF Survey"/> |
|||
---- |
|||
According to the WMF findings, the top three countries where Wikipedia contributors reside are the United States (20%), Germany (12%), and Russia (7%). The primary language of Wikipedia contributors is English (52%) followed by German (18%) with Russian and Spanish coming in third at 10% each. The UNU-Merit study did not breakdown language and country of residence in terms of type of participation with Wikipedia. |

According to the 2011 WMF survey, although the percentage of female editors continues to increase, ninety percent of Wikipedians are male, nine percent female, and one percent transgender/transsexual.<ref name="2011 WMF Survey"/> |

Experienced female editors can be very successful—they are more likely to become administrators than men—but as new editors, their good-faith contributions are more likely to be reverted than good-faith contributions by a man.<ref>{{cite conference |last1=Lam |first1=S.

==Personality== |
|||
Researchers have begun to identify key personality traits in Wikipedians. According to a study published in 2008, Wikipedia members are more likely than non-members to locate their "real me" online—that is, to feel more comfortable expressing their "real" selves online than off.<ref name=Amichai2008a>{{cite journal |last1=Amichai-Hamburger |first1=Y. |first2=Naama |last2=Lamdan |first3=Rinat |last3=Madiel |first4=Tsahi |last4=Hayat |date=November 2008 |title=Personality Characteristics of Wikipedia Members |journal=CyberPsychology & Behavior |volume=11 |number=6 |pages=679–81 |pmid=18954273 |doi=10.1089/cpb.2007.0225}}</ref> This corresponds with more general findings that Internet communities tend to attract users who are introverted offline but more able to open up and feel empowered on the Web.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Amichai-Hamburger |first1=Y. |last2=Wainapel |first2=G. |last3=Fox |first3=S. |date=May 2002 |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/11346051 |title=On the Internet no one knows I'm an introvert: extroversion, neuroticism and Internet interaction |journal=CyberPsychology & Behavior |volume=5 |issue=2 |pages=125–128 |doi=10.1089/109493102753770507 |pmid=12025878}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Amichai-Hamburger |first1=Y. |last2=McKenna |first2=K. |last3=Tal |first3=S. |date=September 2008 |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/222367002 |title=E-empowerment: Empowerment by the Internet |journal=Computers in Human Behavior |volume=24 |issue=5 |pages=1776–1789 |doi=10.1016/j.chb.2008.02.002}}</ref> A gender difference was found in terms of extroversion: whereas female Wikipedia members were on average more introverted than female non-members, male members were just as extroverted as males in the control group. |

==Motivations for contributing== |
|||
{{main|Motivations of Wikipedia contributors}} |
|||
{{Further|Wikipedia:Purpose}} |
|||
In November 2007, the most commonly indicated motives were "fun", "ideology", and "values", whereas the least frequently indicated motives were "career", "social", and "protective" (as in "reducing guilt over personal privilege").<ref name=Nov>{{cite journal |last=Nov |first=Oded |date=November 2007 |url=http://faculty.poly.edu/~onov/Nov_Wikipedia_motivations.pdf |url-status=live |title=What Motivates Wikipedians? |journal=Communications of the ACM |volume=50 |issue=11 |pages=60–64 |doi=10.1145/1297797.1297798 |s2cid=16517355 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120423151707/http://faculty.poly.edu/~onov/Nov_Wikipedia_motivations.pdf |archive-date=23 April 2012}}</ref> |
|||
==Nomenclature== |
|||
One could argue that "Wikipedist" would be a more appropriate name, as an [[wikt:encyclopedist|encyclopedist]] is someone who contributes to an [[encyclopedia]]. ''Wikipedian'', though, suggests being part of a group, community or [[demonym]] (a resident of a locality). So in this sense, Wikipedians are people who form the [[Wikipedia:Community portal|Wikipedia Community]]. The term "Wikimedian" is also widely used to include contributors to all the projects supported by the [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]]. |
|||
==Contribution styles==<!--Wikipedia: Doers and discussers redirects here--> |
|||
{{See also|Wikipedia:Wikipediholic|label 1=Wikipediholic|m:Conflicting_Wikipedia_philosophies|label 2=Conflicting philosophies}} |
|||
Some Wikipedians [[WP:WC|welcome newcomers]]; some Wikipedians [[WP:KC|award those whom they feel deserve awards]]. Some upload images or [[WP:FFU|help others do so]]; some work on history articles; some [[WP:TYPO|clean up grammar]]; and still others [[WP:HG|work]] on [[WP:TW|reverting]] [[WP:VAN|vandalism]]. Many take on all these tasks; some, of course, take on none. Whatever one decides to do, every Wikipedian is a valuable member of the community. |
|||
Wikipedians who contribute mainly by writing and editing the contents of Wikipedia, without interacting much on [[Help:Using talk pages|Talk]] or [[Wikipedia:Administration|administrative]] pages, are sometimes called [[Meta:Exopedianism|exopedians]], whereas those who spend significant time on such community interactions are contrasted as [[Meta:Metapedianism|metapedians]]. A multitude of views and other contribution characteristics are represented well by common Wikipedia-related [[Wikipedia:Userboxes|userboxes]]: [[Wikipedia:Userboxes/Wikipedia]]. |

Wikipedians are volunteers who contribute to Wikipedia by editing its pages, unlike readers who simply read the articles. Anyone—including you—can become a Wikipedian by boldly making changes when they find something that can be added or improved. To learn more about how to do this, you can check out the basic editing tutorial or the more detailed manual.
Wikipedians do a wide variety of tasks, from fixing typos and removing vandalism to resolving disputes and perfecting content, but are united in a desire to make human knowledge available to every person on the planet.
Number of editors
The English Wikipedia currently has 47,615,312[2] users who have registered a username. Only a minority of users contribute regularly (114,709[3] have edited in the last 30 days), and only a minority of those contributors participate in community discussions. In 2023, 812,635 registered editors made at least one edit;[4] about half of these were new accounts making their first (and often only) edit.[5] There are about 10,000 higher-volume experienced editors active during a typical month.[6] In a given month, more than 5,000 editors make at least 100 edits.[7]
An unknown but relatively large number of unregistered Wikipedians also contribute to the site. As of 2012, most logged-in editors had edited as unregistered Wikipedians before registering their accounts.[8]
As of February 2015, when about 12,000 editors were eligible to vote in the Wikimedia Stewards Elections, their eligibility was based on their English Wikipedia edit count. It applied to those who had an edit count of at least 600 overall and 50 since August 2014. This was about one-quarter of the number of Wikipedians who had 600 edits overall. (See the Talk page for details.)
User permissions
Some accounts have special permissions, including:[9]
- 10 account creators
- 855 administrators
- 4,796 autopatrollers
- 297 bots
- 15 bureaucrats
- 54 checkusers
- 567 confirmed users
- 141 edit filter managers
- 118 event coordinators
- 70,922 extended confirmed users
- 382 file movers
- 1 founder[10]
- 2 importers
- 940 IP block exempt users
- 55 mass message senders
- 809 new page reviewers (new page patrollers)
- 43 oversighters
- 410 page movers
- 7,977 pending changes reviewers
- 0 researchers
- 6,837 rollbackers
- 188 template editors
- 2 copyright violation bots
Some user groups (such as stewards) act globally, and thus they do not get local flags and local rights.

UNU-Merit (United Nations University-Merit) completed the 2010 meta:Research:UNU-MERIT Wikipedia survey of Wikipedia users, including both contributors (registered and unregistered) and readers.[11] 176,192 people chose to participate, approximately 58,000 of whom were contributors to Wikipedia. Many of the findings were reported as an aggregate and were not separated by user type. Only the statistics relevant to Wikipedians are presented. In 2011, the WMF (Wikimedia Foundation) presented a questionnaire to logged-in Wikipedia editors (does not include unregistered Wikipedians) to gain a better understanding of the demographics, perceptions and motivations of Wikipedians.[12] Over 5,000 people responded to the survey. Here are the results of both surveys:
Age group | WMF (%) |
---|---|
12–17 | 13 percent |
18–21 | 14 percent |
22–29 | 26 percent |
30–39 | 19 percent |
40+ | 28 percent |
UNU-Merit reported the average age of contributors at 26.14 years, but did not provide a greater breakdown of age by user type.[11]
Education level completed | WMF (%) | UNU-Merit (%) |
---|---|---|
Primary | 9 | 11 |
Secondary | 30 | 34 |
Undergraduate | 35 | 26 |
Masters | 18 | 18 |
PhD | 8 | 4 |
Other | NR | 6 |
WMF reported 43% of respondents are currently enrolled in school or post-secondary education.[12]
According to the WMF findings, the top three countries where Wikipedia contributors reside are the United States (20%), Germany (12%), and Russia (7%). The primary language of Wikipedia contributors is English (52%) followed by German (18%) with Russian and Spanish coming in third at 10% each. The UNU-Merit study did not breakdown language and country of residence in terms of type of participation with Wikipedia.
According to UNU-Merit, 87 percent of Wikipedians are men and 13 percent are women.[11]
According to the 2011 WMF survey, although the percentage of female editors continues to increase, ninety percent of Wikipedians are male, nine percent female, and one percent transgender/transsexual.[12]
Experienced female editors can be very successful—they are more likely to become administrators than men—but as new editors, their good-faith contributions are more likely to be reverted than good-faith contributions by a man.[13]
More information regarding the gender gap can be found at Gender gap.
In an October 2023 representative survey of 1,000 U.S. adults, YouGov found that 7% had ever edited Wikipedia, that 20% had ever considered doing so who had not, that 55% had never done so and had never considered doing so, and that 17% had never used Wikipedia.[14]

Personality
Researchers have begun to identify key personality traits in Wikipedians. According to a study published in 2008, Wikipedia members are more likely than non-members to locate their "real me" online—that is, to feel more comfortable expressing their "real" selves online than off.[15] This corresponds with more general findings that Internet communities tend to attract users who are introverted offline but more able to open up and feel empowered on the Web.[16][17] A gender difference was found in terms of extroversion: whereas female Wikipedia members were on average more introverted than female non-members, male members were just as extroverted as males in the control group.
Motivations for contributing
In November 2007, the most commonly indicated motives were "fun", "ideology", and "values", whereas the least frequently indicated motives were "career", "social", and "protective" (as in "reducing guilt over personal privilege").[18]
Nomenclature
One could argue that "Wikipedist" would be a more appropriate name, as an encyclopedist is someone who contributes to an encyclopedia. Wikipedian, though, suggests being part of a group, community or demonym (a resident of a locality). So in this sense, Wikipedians are people who form the Wikipedia Community. The term "Wikimedian" is also widely used to include contributors to all the projects supported by the Wikimedia Foundation.
Contribution styles
Some Wikipedians welcome newcomers; some Wikipedians award those whom they feel deserve awards. Some upload images or help others do so; some work on history articles; some clean up grammar; and still others work on reverting vandalism. Many take on all these tasks; some, of course, take on none. Whatever one decides to do, every Wikipedian is a valuable member of the community.
Wikipedians who contribute mainly by writing and editing the contents of Wikipedia, without interacting much on Talk or administrative pages, are sometimes called exopedians, whereas those who spend significant time on such community interactions are contrasted as metapedians. A multitude of views and other contribution characteristics are represented well by common Wikipedia-related userboxes: Wikipedia:Userboxes/Wikipedia.
