Wiki Warrior

An overzealous person who, in reference to his or her pet topic, removes criticisms and adds blindly positive commentary. This is similar to astroturfing (i.e. a fake grassroots movement).

or better yet: WikiWussy

(I initially put together this page after noticing a WikiWarrior with a penchant for RubyLanguage removing even mild criticisms of said language.)

How can you say that?!?! There is no such thing as a mild criticism of Ruby! I demand satisfaction, sir!

No, no! Such a feeble paranoid, engaged in such un-Wiki like practices, does not deserve the honorific Warrior. Seems more like an UnWikiWorrier? to me!

I see warrior as more of a sarcastic title in this case. A WikiWarrior is not a self-assured person.

Indeed; probably similar to the U.S. perjorative "Weekend Warrior" to describe military reservists.
