This page in a nutshell: Recognizing Wiki-types — either yourself or others — may enhance your Wiki-skills.

• 
  It's not easy being green! Do your best, but if others don't agree, seek consensus.(Original file snatched ...File:Kermit the Frog.jpg) Here are some tips to find your way, new beginner ... in The Electric Mayhem called Wikipedia -a collection of pictures or photographs of criminals and suspects kept for identification purposes

• (Original picture removed; Image:The Electric Mayhem.jpg) Electricalgirls can be timid and shy. However, they might instead be possessive of articles (which is not good — Wikipedians should let others edit articles).

• 
  (Original picture removed; Image:Fozzierowlf.jpg) Buddies work together.^{[citation needed]}
• 
  (Original picture removed); File:Animal (Muppet).jpg Frustrated types show their teeth.
• 
  (Original picture removed; File:Beaker (Muppet)-en.jpg) The new-beginner editor who doesn't understand a thing about Wikipedia rules, yet.
• 
  Other frustrated types bite.
• 
  Experts may have a PhD; they always know many things, and wish to tell the readership.
• 
  The nice editors do their best.
• 
  The Australians don't know how the rest of the world works ... or is this systemic bias at work? Remain neutral!
• 
  Debaters try to hammer other editors with their most convincing arguments. Just stick to the sources!
• 
  Original editors see everything upside down. This can be confusing! Do not be alarmed.
• 
  (Original picture removed; Dr. Bunsen Honeydew File:Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.jpg) Medical topics are very tricky, because people could get hurt.
• 
  The geeks. Some editors are geniuses, at least in their own minds. This makes them very hard to convince, of anything!
• 
  There are the OLD Wikipedians who know best (and they usually do).
• 
  There is the even OLDER Wikipedian who knows best,
• 
  The editor who has multiple an accounts,
• 
  and there are the editors who always get their way by printing WP:This and WP:That (often not quite true but it sounds good.)
• 
  There are the editors who are dragged to the ANI and spend a lot of time defending themselves somehow there.
• 
  There are the completely Angelic editors, polite and loving (like Yngvadottir - when not busy) - (Very rare)
• 
  And there are the picture cleaners.
• 
  And there are the editors who left or got banned by the banners.
• 
  There is the orphan editor who is alone and nobody cares for him or her.
• 
  (Original picture removed; File:SamTheEagle.jpg) Pompous editors may know things or may not, but because they believe that they are better, smarter, or more important than other people, it really doesn't matter. Although they have contact with a lot of editors, they can be spotted at Christmastime, almost never receive friendly Christmas messages.
• 
  Here we are all: the Wikipedians. Everybody knows his or her part and all have a point, and all are here to contribute, with the exception of the totally really stupid guys. We call those vandals; cos they vandalize..
