You might be Wikilawyering if...

...you cite more than 2 policies or guidelines in one sentence.
...you point out that WP:ACRONYM1 is a policy (/guideline/essay), while WP:ACRONYM2 is only a guideline (/essay/policy).
...you check whether something is a policy, guideline, or essay before citing it.
...you care whether something is a policy, a guideline, or an essay.
...you attempt to change a page's status from policy, guideline, or essay into any of the others so that other editors won't be "confused".
...you're posting to WP:ANI, and you're not laughing while doing it.
...you tell someone that their "vote" doesn't "count".
...you explain why you don't have to "AGF".
...you reread WP:AGF to decide whether or not you still have to.
...you respond to a block for edit warring by arguing that your third revert was more than 24 hours after your first one.
...you agree that, logically, something makes sense, but you still argue against it based on one sentence of a policy.
...you notice that a policy or guideline doesn't support your position, so you edit the policy or guideline.
...you point out that WP:OR and WP:SYN actually point to the same policy.
...you mention in your unblock request that WP:BLOCK is not supposed to be punitive.
...your interpretations of any policy, guideline, or essay contradict each other.
...you cite previous discussions as "User X vs. User Y".
...you tell every user asking for clarification that they can't handle the truth.
...your responses to criticism begin with "Objection!"

And finally, you might be Wikilawyering if...

...people keep telling you that you're Wikilawyering.
... you write in legalese.
