Wikipedia:Notable people who have edited Wikipedia

WP:WWA

This listing may contain errors and should NOT be used as a source for any page in Wikipedia or publication outside of Wikipedia without doing some independent checking.

This page lists Wikipedia users who are the subject of a Wikipedia article. Links to notable edits made by a listed Wikipedian, or to a discussion about such edits, may be included on this page at the end of the Wikipedian's entry. More general links, such as to the Wikipedian's talk page, are included on the line of the Wikipedian's name. The intention of this list is not to explicitly monitor these users but merely to enumerate them. Their descriptions should be brief and without wikilinks because an article about them is already available.

All editors should be careful of these users' edits for two reasons: One, they may edit their own articles, which raises the possibility of a conflict of interest and POV. Two, sweeping edits they make to their articles may be attempts to remove libel against them (something that missed WP:BLP). In any case, such edits should be gone over carefully and discussed with them before taking any action.

Also, remember that a user's edits may not reflect positions they have taken in public. A user's edit history, therefore, should not be used to impugn their honesty. Regardless of whether a user is on this list, assume good faith.
