Wikipedia:Notable people who have edited Wikipedia

 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 article lists Wikipedian 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.

All editors should be careful of these users' edits for two reasons: One, they may edit their own articles, which raises the possibility of vanity editing 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.
