a wikipedia admin on a power trip.
you can be a long time or a new editor to feel the sting of a wikiterf. the term wikiterf is a portmanteau of Wiki (short for Wikipedia) and TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist). This "admin" differs from the usual admin or a long-time contributor. A wikiterf has no common sense, is a semi-Karen and feels the need to override every article with the excuse that "this page needs references". Really, what they're doing is unrolling your hard work, because they believe in the bias that they are somehow better than you, because they've been on Wikipedia longer and .
Why does this differ? There are admins who will even go as far as adding references for you, help you and contribute, and generally won't act like dickheads who own the place by removing content that is actually useful. They appreciate that you're a volunteer and you're not perfect - a wikiterf will remove your content, put it into a draft and not review your submission, and will argue with you why he's right on your talk page.
Not every sentence on Wikipedia has to have a reference, but a wikiterf will find the most obscure books on most obscure topics in a bid to assert their dominance and completely ignore your voluntary input. No wonder people don't want to edit Wikipedia?

person 1: I've just been adding an article about hanky panky on Wikipedia, and this admin terfed my article!
person 2: why?
person 1: because he's an absolute wikiterf!

People contributing to Wikipedia. Generally, this term can be used to describe any people editing Wikipedia, including those in good faith and in bad faith. In a narrow sense, it can only be used to describe those in good faith and improving Wikipedia.
A Wikipedian contribute on Wikipedia in the following ways:
* Editing articles: They create new articles, rewrite trash-like articles, and add more information to currently exist articles.
* Revert vandalism: They watch for recent changes and new article creations, to find out malicious edits and revert/delete them.
* Discuss with other Wikipedians: They discuss in Village Pump, one of the important place for Wikipedia-related discussion, to make consensus with other Wikipedians.

Get the Wikipedia mug.That one website that your English teacher will just never let you use for one fucking project even though it's literally the easiest and most accessible website that anyone can think of.
English Teacher: "If you credit Wikipedia as a source, you're automatically getting an F on this assignment."
Literally every student's thought: "Fuck. Off."
