Seems like each user here has a different form of dealing with his(er) work. Some people can take weeks writing a single article while others write no article at all. So this list is a complement to "What's you area of expertise?" and maybe a funny way of pigeonholing yourself. -- herr doktor needsAraygun Rocket.gif [scream!] 16:17, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Pigeonholing?--Witt, Union leader.gif of Union member.gif UNion Entertain me* 16:18, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Ask Mhaille. —Braydie 16:19, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Pigeonholing is fitting yourself or other people into a limited category. For example: "I'm a rocker", "I'm an emo", "I'm everything but an emo, for chrissake!". Hey, no one here wants to sign this form? I thought this could be funny. -- herr doktor needsAraygun Rocket.gif [scream!] 16:27, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

It's okay if we fall into more than one category, right? Good.--Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 20:25, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I guess it's okay as long I guess no one more will fit in the "Muse" category, hehehe. -- herr doktor needsAraygun Rocket.gif [scream!] 20:28, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
I can't be the only one who has ideas that come out of nowhere. Some pages I plan; some just happen. --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 01:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

The Tourist

Users who prefer to stay in the safety of Village Dump, Pee Review, voting lists and User Talk pages. Can make minor contributions to existing articles.

  1. Now that I moved abroad I only drop by to visit and smuggle ideas.---Asteroid B612B612.jpg (aka Rataube) - Ñ 22:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  2. Being a newbie, I tend to fall into this category. But I did get honorable mention in PLS... Dennis Dunjinman 02:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

The Artist

Users who generally don't make text entries, but are really skilled at potatochopping.

  1. Ah! this would be me --Atomsk.gif Kaizer the Bjorn takkun Nya? (nya nya) (1961 model!) Check out T61! 04:10, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

  5. potatochopping is fun.--Scott 02:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

The Plumber

Users who don't create original stuff, but are very active performing rewrites, spell checks and major improvements to existing articles.

  1. --Hotadmin4u69 [TALK] 16:39, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  2. well more like deletions, removals, and crap-killing, but it's something -- sannse<staff/> (talk) 20:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  3. Well, I guess I fit. I mostly like spellchecking and deUglying articles. I have this thing for neat, Wikipedia-looking articles. --W2bh 22:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  4. In general, yeah, this would be my thing. But it can definitely get overwhelming at times... — Lenoxus 03:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

The Articlesmith

Users who spend a ludicrous and foolish amount of time creating articles one at a time. Generally perfectionists, they modify and rephrase until they are reasonably satisfied with their job. Then they do it again...and again...

  1. herr doktor needsAraygun Rocket.gif [scream!]
  2. OEJ Articlesmiths are generally afflicted with Drooling Prose Disorder, meaning they make 134,789 edits on a single article...133,305 of which are to reverse the effects of previous edits. ----OEJ 17:55, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
    Well said, OEJ. And also I've counted 3 edits of yours until now in this handful of lines, hehehe. -- herr doktor needsAraygun Rocket.gif [scream!] 18:27, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  3. My first feature, with around 900 words, has 140 edits... --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 20:25, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

  6. I'm not particularly prolific, though. -- 15Mickey20 (talk to Mickey)  19:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
  7. I spend a bit of time adding new sections and paragraphs to my articles, but not one word at a time. Dennis Dunjinman 21:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
  8. Yeah, this is sounding like me... my few articles are ones I've work laborously on. --Andorin Kato 05:30, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
  9. This is what I aspire to be...but no one reads my article(s)....shameless article whoring. -- Sir FS Doovad Read You got somethin to say? 00:20, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

The Industrial

Very similar to the articlesmith, but most commonly a little less perfectionist, these users can work in lots of articles at the same time.

  1. I'm an article factory skilled in not a real specific field. --~ Tophatsig.png

    Jacques Pirat, Esq. Converse : Benefactions : U.w.p.

    03:14, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  2. Mostly me. But not a perfectionist at all, got to leave some work for the suckups -- Vosnul 16:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

The Advertising Plane Pilot

Users who create a huge sum of new entries, expecting one of them will reach the glory. Much like fish, which hatches 2 million eggs for three of five of them surviving until maturity.

  1. Right here. But it's really because I lose interest in topics too fast and [Insert clichéd ADD joke here]. --Alksubsig.gifAlksub - VFH CM WA RV {talk} 01:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

The Harp Player

Users who rarely have any idea just they're going to do next, until the muse stops by an whacks them in the back of the head with her harp. Or lute. Maybe a banjo.

  1. --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 20:25, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  2. --Thinking cap small.png»The Acceptable Cainad (Fnord) 01:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

  4. --user.gif Efitu (TW@) 02:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

    But I love her. And she loves me. She tells me so. *cries* --Sir ENeGMA (talk) GUN WotM PLS 21:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

  7. --<<Bradmonogram.png>> 22:15, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  8. I'm kinda here.. but most of my articles come from rewrites. But I can only write when I'm in the right frame of mind (and ff is watching recent changes ;)) —Braydie 06:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  9. I wish I was in a less popular, more specialised group, but this is it for me. Icons-flag-au.png Sir Cs1987 UOTM. t. c 16:15, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
  10. Sure, sure...that's how it works...--Shandon 19:55, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

  12. Yah, maybe. I need more of these muses. I hear they're going extinct...Savethemuses!--Witt, Union leader.gif of Union member.gif UNion Entertain me* 07:27, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
  13. That's me, all right. Usually the muse hits when I have something more important I should be dealing with. --Cap'n Sir Ben GUN WotM VFH VFP 00:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  14. Isn't this vague enough to describe us all? —Lenoxus 03:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
  15. Maybe. My last entry was obsessively thought in one morning so I just had to take it out of my head at the night. I'm lucky not being ran over by a car this day. -- herr doktor needsAraygun Rocket.gif [scream!] 03:59, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

The Tunesmith

Yeah, I'm looking at you, Tooltroll. Just put your name here. You too, Todd.

The Guy on the Couch

Users who don't really do much of anything, ever.

The Maintainer

Do Gooder

  1. I keep an eye on the Communist related articles. I take care of the redlink & deadend categories. I rarely write because no one seems to like my shite. In other words, I have no life. Spacer.gifSpacer.gifPremierTomMayfairChe.png RedPhone.png Unsoc.png Hammer and sickle.png 01:52, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
    So you are a plumber. See above. Like Super Mario who was reportedly also a commie. -- herr doktor needsAraygun Rocket.gif [scream!] 02:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
    I tried to get a job to be a plumber but they said I wasn't fat enough & that I wouldn't look right in lowrider pants. Spacer.gifSpacer.gifPremierTomMayfairChe.png RedPhone.png Unsoc.png Hammer and sickle.png 14:38, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  2. I fix spelling and grammar when I can. --High General Grue 00:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  3. Recent Changes patrol, New Pages patrol, QVFD patrol, Ban patrol patrol, every single one of the anniversaries, NRV, ICU and MTU maintenance, categorisation, de-redlinking, de-crufting, vandalism/vanity/spam reversion, banning, archiving, and a watchlist of over 1,000 pages. All so you can write your articles and win your awards in a safe, warm, clean environment. You can think of me like the psycho janitor in "Scrubs" if it helps. -- Sir Codeine K·H·P·B·M·N·C·U·Bu. · (Harangue) 15:57, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
    Can I be JD? —Braydie 15:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
  4. Evidence? I cleaned up this section so the numbers work (you can't have more than one paragraph in a list). I'm anal like that. Otherwise, it's usually the tewaking of categories, templates, and help spaces, plus a bunch of stuff on What You Can Do. —Lenoxus 04:28, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
    Hmmm... I insist, this seems to me just the same as the plumber. -- herr doktor needsAraygun Rocket.gif [scream!] 04:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
    Yeah, you're probably right. Now make that note a #!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lenoxus (talk • contribs)
    Aand... Modusoperandi nonverbally pointed out the even better way to organize this which I had been seeking. — Lenoxus 01:43, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  5. Try to look after vandalism, VFD, and umm... Pancakes. Yeah. --Capercorn FLAME! what? UNATO OWS 02:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Users that are nevar serious

  1. Especially on the #uncyc chan -- di Mario 00:03, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

The suck up

  • Someone who goes around reverting vandalism and posting crap in this forum but only writes the occasional UnNews. --Crazyswordsman...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 21:44, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

The Spammer

Users who cling to an idea or article and keep going with it, spamming and preaching and taking no prisoners. No namespace is off limits to their brand of fiery evangelism.

  1. And may I take this chance to say: HAIL THE CYCLICAL SNAKE DEITY! REPENT! --Señor DiZtheGreat Honor me! CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 22:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

The pretentious idiot hippy philosopher

Users who, like, don't want to label themselves and put themselves in little boxes, man! If not posh, such users should more correctly be called "the Jack of all trades".

  1. Created a new category for myself, since I couldn't be arsed to sign up under all the ones I fit into didn't want to restrict myself by a prison of words to one corner of this massive Uncyclical Existence. I think mainly I'm a mused person, and while I wait for it to strike I'm a maintainer - the Short Pages section is my bitch. --Strange.PNG (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 00:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Users who are a lot better than you, unless you're an administrator

These users are a lot better than you, because they fit into many categories above, and still have more to go. (The preceeding does not apply if you're an administrator, because they're better than everybody.)

  1. I...am...GOD!!! (But not an administrator. D;)--SPY Administrator (Complain|I rock|In memoriam) HMRFRA Bluegarrisoncapsig.png Sucrose b.gif WH 12:48, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, you the Maintainer but I didn't notice it before I posted. But either way, I like my description better--General And Min. THEDUDEMANSucrose b.gif 22:51, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
