Here are some of the users I've met so far that have shared some version of WikiLove:

  • Hadal – First user I contacted to try and get a "feel" for Wikipedia rules.
  • Marcie – A fellow Canuck interested in abortion issues.
  • Howrealisreal – Offered help in my future Wiki endeavors after my quick integration of his ABC news in the ABC debate article. Also asked in April 2005 to help get Gowanus Canal featured.
  • Tony Sidaway – Did some quality NPOV editing on the Abortion-Breast_Cancer_(ABC)_hypothesis article I started. I helped him out by making his navbar 800x600 friendly and look cooler in the process.
  • Saforrest – Also hails from Dundas, Ontario.
  • MamaGeek – Bold women's issues contributor. I tangled with Mama on ABC introductory paragraph in Abortion which has improved thanks to her input.
  • Catherine – Creator of the new Wikipedia.org portal, also interested in Blade Runner.
  • Vaceituno – A fellow regular Blade Runner article contributor who I've debated with on Deckard's identity. Tends to assume I don't know what I'm talking about. :'D
  • CannedLizard – Originated Counter-Strike source comparison images. We collobarated on the Image:cs office comparison.jpg.
  • Spinboy – Requested assistence on IRC re:CASA dispute during the February power outage.
  • Philip J. Rayment – A creationist I had an extensive discussion with on Talk:Creation-evolution controversy regarding no scientific evidence against evolution.
  • CYD – Helped clarify Quantum darwinism.
  • Dinopup – Asked for support on featured status of Kibbutz.
  • Alterego – Became my arch-nemesis when he eloquently argued to keep Jesus on the List of self-proclaimed deities to keep everyone happy... even if Jesus may not have considered himself a deity.
  • Mel Etitis – Thanked me for my support of his admin nomination.
  • Antandrus is a Jaynian and I assisted in his RfA.
  • Ungtss – A well intentioned creationist with strange notions he can exclusively define creationism as an environmentally friendly movement; despite historical evidence to the contrary and the reality of other creation myths. He also thinks evolution has fatal and obvious flaws, but the scientific community is biased by their materialistic (equals atheistic) constraints... which he feels they violate by having theories and hypotheses of things in the distant past.
  • Monado – "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle."
  • Cburnett – Consistent calm contributor especially for Star Trek. Will nominate him for WP:RfA on April 23rd 2005.
  • Xiong – Put Blade Runner up for WP:FAC and is interested in collaborating in making suggestions on how the Wikipedia community can be tweaked.
  • Arkady Rose – Intriguing deviant.
  • Kaisershatner – Collaborated on ABC article, especially on improving and clarifying spontaneous abortion and forcing me to move Brind to a seperate article.
  • Tarnas – Suggested I let others improve Blade Runner to keep my style from being too prevalent. He also corrected the grammar of my 3rd draft synopsis and added mdashes to the article.
  • PopUpPirate – Has a good FAC standard; provided a great compliment on the 3rd BR nomination.
  • TacoDeposit – Removed my tongue in cheek reference in Jeopardy!
  • GordonWatts – (Re: Alterego entry above) Believes Philippians 2:5-7 supports Jesus as God; which it does but this is not Jesus speaking, and even passages of his words are at best second hand accounts after his death. I maintain its unknown how Jesus defined himself.
  • Calton – "It's clean-up duty, mopping up after the dishonest, incompetent, and fanatical. Can't imagine why you'd have a problem with that."
  • Zora – Volunteered me in Talk:Shahrukh Khan to do a comparitive box office sales analysis for Bollywood films to have a meaningful measure of actor/actress influence.
  • Journalist – Switched my WikiThanks.png to the higher res Tournesol.png.
  • Ral315 – Took up my suggestion for a technical summation of Wikipedia and created the very informative BRION. In exchange I took Features and admins off his hands.
  • Triddle – Created Template:Cannabis resources.
  • Benapgar – Clashed with this pro-ID user on Talk:Intelligent design; specifically I did not take kindly to his attempts to WikiLawyer us and I participated in an RfC and an aborted RfAr involving this user. However, he found something I said quite funny... indicating he has a sense of humor after all.
  • Royboycrashfan – Came across this user on User talk:203.167.171.109 and reverted vandalism on his page (before he could) and updated his counter. He in turn tweaked my WikiCasualties.
  • ScienceApologist – Returned after a short WikiBreak and an account move. He is a no-nonsense knowledgable science contributor who has a pretty sober grasp of WikiPolicy. Granted he tends to be uncompromising; but he tends to know what he was talking about.
  • Daniel Brandt – Seems to be in denial that privacy is a fluid concept especially in historical terms; and that information technology enables us to protect ourselves and isn't simply invading and/or tracking our information.
  • Kyd – Young Canuck with an eye on Abortion and a liking for Caribou. Rewrote the ABC section and I chewed her out, but after some emotions, apologies and reprioritization; consensus was achieved and a better section resulted.
  • Lupin – Responded quickly to my bottom append and toggle ideas for his anti-vandal tool. I created this nifty thank you as a result.
  • Jason Gastrich – Very driven Christian contributor who's actions (along with WarriorScribe) forced me to protect Louisiana Baptist University.
  • WarriorScribe – Julian Jaynes fan and a long time NewsGroup opponent of Jason Gastrich.
  • Pro-LickAbortion editor adverse to using "death" because of medical sources and continues to insist this violates policy. Blocked for 3RR and creating sockpuppets/meatpuppets from User:Halliburton Shill blog, so indefinitely blocked. Since being unblocked by GTBacchus has helped improve the ABC article's weight.
  • SOPHIA – An excellent Wikipedian who after an initial rough start on the ABC article, has been instrumental in reorganizing it for neutrality and weight.
  • Severa - An exceptionally fair and good-faith editor who significantly helped improve abortion-breast cancer article to good article status. Unfortunately now retired and an gold standard example of Wikipedia losing experienced contributors.
