Wikipedia:Wikipedians

Wikipedians are volunteers who contribute to Wikipedia by editing its pages, unlike readers who simply read the articles.

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.

[11] 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.

[14] 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.

Wikipedian, though, suggests being part of a group, community or demonym (a resident of a locality).

The term "Wikimedian" is also widely used to include contributors to all the projects supported by the Wikimedia Foundation.

A multitude of views and other contribution characteristics are represented well by common Wikipedia-related userboxes: Wikipedia:Userboxes/Wikipedia.
