Wikipedantic 

The insertion of pedantic details into a Wikipedia article in order to appear smart or jack up your edit cred.

The speeding car struck a Sycamore iAcer pseudoplatanus/i tree after spinning out of control near Gipsy Lane on Queens Ride, Barnes, southwest London.
(en.wikipedia.org article on Marc Bolan)

"Acer pseudoplatanus" is Wikipedantic since it's not really necessary to the article.

wikipedant 

A person who updates Wikipedia immediately after a breaking news story regardless of how mundane and/or apocryphal it may be.

Derived from Wikipedia (a Web site that allows collaborative editing of its content and structure by its users) and Pedant (a person who is excessively concerned with minor details and rules or with displaying academic learning).

You mean to tell me you were online Saturday night at midnight updating Wikipedia's Scotty Bowman entry after rumours of his impending hiring by the Toronto Maple Leafs? Man, you're not only a wikipedant, you are a loser!
