This page is a list of people who have edited Wikipedia in ways that may seem unusual, esoteric, or humorous in some way. These are not necessarily editors who are notable, nor are they necessarily malicious editors or edit warriors (though most of them are); It is also not a noticeboard for investigating users. Instead these are users whose contributions are exceptionally unique, whose motivations may be comedically bizzarre, or may otherwise have some sort of compelling story to them. Of particular note are editors who are lone or isolated in their motivations, exceptionally dedicated, and either put large amounts of effort into their edits, or repeatedly return to continue their behavior.
