But i don't see the difference between wikistalking en cyberstalking.
I view it as a subset, i.e. wikistalking is cyberstalking on a site that happens to be a wiki.
But then what is cyberstalking? I've seen it applied to as little as paying attention to the edits a particular editor makes. Is it wikistalking to gather evidence for an arbitration request? The term is quite obviously useless if it is.
The only definition of cyberstalking that I think makes sense is a subset of stalking. In fact, the Wikipedia article currently uses that definition in the first sentence: "Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk someone."
Of course, 99 times out of 100 I bet someone who uses the term "wikistalking" isn't talking about actual stalking.
