Goddamn! What I want to know is why papers always call us "Wikipediots". It's too close to idiot to be anything but degrading. I don't call journalists "newsies" or the like do I? It says quite clearly all over the site, "Wikipedian". Besides, adding -idiots is grammatically nonsensical.
It's the first time I've seen the name, but I don't like it either. It seems deliberately offensive, to me...
