Wikipediaan

Wikipediaan is a portmanteau of the words "Wikipedia" and "human," referring to the collective of human contributors who create and maintain the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia. The term is used to distinguish the human contributors from the Wikipedia project itself, which includes the software, servers, and other technical components that support the encyclopedia.

Wikipediaans are volunteers who write, edit, and maintain the articles on Wikipedia. They come from diverse backgrounds and have varying levels of expertise in the subjects they cover. Wikipediaans are motivated by a variety of reasons, including a desire to share knowledge, contribute to a public good, or simply to engage with a community of like-minded individuals.

The Wikipediaan community is governed by a set of principles and guidelines, which include the Five Pillars of Wikipedia: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, written collaboratively by volunteers, for a global audience; Wikipedia does not have firm rules, but rather guidelines that contributors should follow; Wikipedia is neutral, presenting information without bias; Wikipedia is free content that can be used by anyone; and Wikipedia is multilingual, with editions in over 300 languages.

Wikipediaans use a variety of tools to contribute to Wikipedia, including the MediaWiki software, which powers the encyclopedia, and the Wikipedia App, which allows contributors to edit articles on the go. Wikipediaans also engage in discussions on talk pages, where they can debate the content of articles, discuss policy issues, and coordinate editing efforts.

Wikipediaans are an essential part of the Wikipedia project, and their contributions are vital to the success of the encyclopedia. Without the efforts of Wikipediaans, Wikipedia would not exist.
