From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While Wikihounding is a relentless pursuit of an editor with the apparent intent to drive them off of the project, Wikipoodling involves numerous annoying activities that eventually add up to the same effect.

Description

[edit]

Wikihounding is the relentless pursuit of prey. Based on the behaviours in a foxhunt, which is defined as "is an activity involving the tracking, chase, and sometimes killing of a fox". In the Wikipedia world the equivalent of "killing of a fox" is typically achieved by driving the editor either off the project completely, or away from an article or series of articles.

Wikipoodling is a series of minor, annoying activities that add up to a major sense of annoyance.
