Hi all,
During the past Wikimedia Conference and the preceding days, a lot of Wikimedians came together and many of them did not know anyone and where wondering who in the hotel also is a Wikipedian/Wikimedian.
To make it easier for users, a page has been published to help them: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/How_to_recognise_a_Wikipedian
The page describes what you can look for with the subsequent levels for a higher level of recognisability.
Hopefully this page makes it easier to recognise other people you share the same passion with.
Thanks all for the conference, see you soon again!
Romaine
Well, if the person edits Wikipedia during the breakfast in the hotel, should not we conclude with a high degree of certainty that the person is a Wikimedian?
Cheers Yaroslav

Hi Yaroslav,
To answer your question: no, you can't conclude with a high degree certainty that that person is a Wikimedian, because it is the same as: if person X lives in Berlin, X is an inhabitant of Berlin, and X is also an inhabitant of Germany. By editing Wikipedia, you are a Wikipedian, and (as all dogs are mammals) also a Wikimedian.
But if you see someone editing Wikipedia during breakfast, why are you still asking yourself if it is a Wikimedian? I would advice anyone to have confidence in your own observation abilities (and not denying things you have established). When people have confidence in themselves, they can achieve more, more happy, but also more Wikipedia articles, and here more people to talk to and share your great experiences and time spending with.
