Wikipedia:Confessed Wikipediholics

Please note: This page is intended as a bit of light relief for devotees of the Wikipedia. It is in no way intended to show disrespect for 12-step programs or to those people genuinely suffering from addictions who have found solace and recovery in such programmes.

Hello, mon nom est 24, et je suis un wikipediholique. I redirected "fun" to "wikipedia" within a week of getting here, and when someone redirected it to "recreation" I realized my conception of "fun" had been somewhat damaged.
Helloo, my name is Greg, and I am an IRCaholic... whoops, wrong room.
Hello, my name is Manning and I am a wikipediholic. Proof? I'm jetlagged, it's 3AM, I'm not even awake but I'm sitting here typing away... *sad*
Hello, my name Bryan, and I am a wikipediholic. I also compulsively link dates.
Hello, my name is Bignose, and I have undiagnosed wikipediholism, even more tragic because I was suspected of it after less than 24 hours here. I agonise over the correct way to represent dates in articles. ( "Undiagnosed"??? Hmmmm... MB)
Okay, I confess... my name is Simon and I am a wikipediholic.
Hello, my name is Larry, and I...OK, gosh...golly, OK here goes. I am a...a...wikipediholic. (See, I just made that word bold.) I admit it, I compulsively...you know...copyedit. I also redirect pages. Sometimes I even...write content. (a startled murmur from the crowd, audible whispers of "we understand, Larry, it's OK, Larry, be strong, Larry...")
Hello, my name is R.J., and I am a wikipediholic. I find myself trying to wikify all my word-processing and email, and crying out in frustration when it's not possible.
Hello, my name is Lee, and I have an insatiable compulsion to change "/talk" into "/Talk", to add spaces to initials and periods to U.S., and take commas outside of quotation marks when they don't belong. I shake visibly upon seeing "more then..." or an incorrect "it's". At last, there's a place where my condition can find a healthy outlet and practical use. (Their, their, its OK... )
My name is Michel, but I don't belong here. I am not a wikipediholic. I can stop any time I want to...
I'm WP and I can't help checking Recent Changes 30 times a day
Hello, my name is The Cunctator, and I'm a wikipediholic. And people seem to hate me.
Hello, my name is Jimbo Wales, and I'm a wikipediholic. And I'm one of the people who seems to hate Cunctator, but I don't really. :-)
My name is Taw and I'm a wikipediholic. (If somebody thinks that I'm cured, because I contribute less than before - I mostly abuse the Polish Wikipedia now :))
Hi all, my name is Mathijs, I'm 35 yrs, married, three kids, I've got a good job in the Dutch National Health Service, with a permanent connection, I've twice had a row with LMS, I've been denounced as a troll and a bigot, but I can't help being a wikipediholic.
Hi, my name is David, and I'm a wikipediholic. I scored 54 on the test, which means you should all be afraid. :-)
Now I'm worried. I started the wikipediholics page, but I wasn't convinced I was one until last night when I dreamt of talking with Larry in person about the Wikipedia...--AstroNomer
user:Chuck Smith - anyone who starts a Wikipedia in a language that is not his native deserves to be here... and I called Jimbo today... 'nuff said!
user:Anthere - "Mais que diable allait-elle faire dans cette galère?"
Hi, my name is A.D.Danilecki and I am a wikipediholic.
Hi, my name is Ed and I'm a Wikipediholic. I tried to stay away, I deleted my bookmarks, but the thoughts kept coming back. I would wake up at night, thinking of phrases to insert into articles. I even started doing off-line edits. I admit that I was powerless over my addiction and I pray to my Higher Power for deliverance, but not yet, please!. -- Ed Poor
You know you are a wikipediholic when you fall asleep at your keyboard and the first thing you do upon waking is check that damn "Recent Changes" page. It just won't go away! maveric149 (his other claim to fame is he has the only user page to make the most popular page list! - today, July 8, he's just above Linda Lovelace and just below Clitoris.)
My name is Calypso and me too I confess I am a wikipediholic. I was a bit worried, but now that I see that I am in good company I feel much better. In Spanish there is a proverb that says "Mal de muchos, consuelo de tontos", which translates loosely into It is foolish to be consoled upon seeing that many others share your woes".
User:sodium is trying to wean himself off with drugs and alcohol...

I'm Eclecticology and I'm a wikipediholic. To make it worse I can't stick to just one subject area at a time.

Sadly, the Wikipediholics Anonymous (WA) programme has yet not managed to help a number of victims.

Suspected, but not admitted, Wikipediholics include:
Tim -- I merely have a higher tolerance for editing than most people. (But thanks for your concern. :-)
Pinkunicorn (I can quit anytime I like)
Stephen Gilbert - "I don't have a problem, and there's nothing you sick rat bastards can say to change that!"
GWO - I took a break recently due to work commitments, but I appear to have relapsed...
AxelBoldt - People keep telling me about these self help groups, but I don't have time for stuff like that.
Koyaanis Qatsi - "My Wikipediaholism was at its worse in June and July, but lately--with grad school and two jobs--I just haven't had the time...." (various murmurs) "....Still, I think about steering my work towards subjects that can make wikipedia entries." (gasps, "oh no"s, "be strong")
sjc - "It's just that I prefer it to drink, drugs, vice and gambling. I just don't have time for any of those anymore."
mike dill - "I actually stayed away from the changes page for a day this week, I'm probably not a Wikipediholic."
JHK It's not my fault...it's a moral imperative...and, besides, Michael would never turn me on to something addictive...would he?
--Kpjas here 'holic of Wikipedia kind.
Malcolm Farmer - "I just do a few pages now and then, just to relax"
TwoOneTwo - its not an addiction I've just promised to do 1% of all Wikipedia articles. And I'm ahead of schedule.
Karen Johnson - I'm not addicted! I can give it up any time I like... honest I can... after I finish the complete listing of cat pages AND the complete catalogue of South American bumblebees AND crosslink every reference to 'recipe' in the entire wikipedia and... oh no! My ISP says I've been online for the last 48 hours straight and connected to the 'pedia for the whole time... they're threatening to cut off my access if I don't give them a special credit on my userpage :)

and many more...
