A WikiCrook is a WikiFauna, depicted as being a shady manlike creature. They are known for finding loopholes in the laws of Wikipedia and using them for their advantage. WikiCrooks are small in numbers but overwhelm users with the use of sockpuppets.
Origin
editWikiCrooks were once all WikiGoblins. They became more arrogant as their edit count increased. They were influenced by the WikiFallen and became yet more arrogant. They also developed the belief that amount is better than quality. This is also believed to be the reason that they make meaningless and short contributions to articles.
Identifying WikiCrooks
editWikiCrooks may look like normal Wikipedians at first glance. The easiest way to identify a WikiCrook is through interaction, WikiCrooks are usually ignorant and will try to respond in the shortest way possible. They may create meaningless articles and resort to personal attacks if they are deleted or criticized. They believe that what they do is always correct and will fight anyone who says otherwise. WikiCrooks like to cause arguments, they question the authority of administrators in the form of disrespect and ignorance. WikiCrooks try to find loopholes in the laws of Wikipedia and use them for their advantage. They are also known to use sockpuppets to support themselves in arguments.
Population
editWikiCrooks are small in numbers, they live in packs made up of sockpuppets which they use to win arguments. Their actual numbers are very hard to calculate so the information of their population is based on estimates. Their population is believed to be dropping because they are banished from the Kingdom of Wikipedia when they are identified.
Dealing With WikiCrooks
editIt’s important to keep calm when dealing with WikiCrooks. They aren’t very hostile until their articles are nominated for deletion. It’s best to let administrators do their jobs. Ignoring WikiCrooks is usually enough to stop them from bothering you.
