[WikiEN-l] Psychosis and Wikipedia

[Bogdan Giusca]

I did not edit much Wikipedia lately because of lack of time, but
I noticed a worrying trend:

A couple of days ago I got another harassing phone call from an
apparently delusional person (complete with threats of lawsuit and
vague threats of physical violence) over some older AfD and today,
on another AfD I started, someone posted stuff like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FWipipedia_%28third_nomination%29&diff=130579646&oldid=130579376

Is there any psychologist here which can explain why such people are
attracted to wikipedia?

Or perhaps, are there really that many people like that in the
general population?
