Wikipedia Editor's Song
The Wikipedia Editor's Song (sung to the tune of the w:Major General's Song). See also the RfA Candidate's Song, which is somewhat similar (and admittedly, better...) Some of the rhymes betwixt the two are also similar, but this is original... honest. :)
- I am the very model of a Wikipedia editor
- I spend my waking hours hunched afore my trusty computer
- Editing the entries on Enlightenment and Equator
- I don't know much 'bout either one, but neither did the guy before
- I watch the Recent changes for IP's I've not seen before
- Reverting vandal edits just as fast as I can click "restore"
- I also watch for patent nonsense, hoaxes, spam, and vanity
- Although some folks don't like it when I send their stuff to AfD
- The evening hour's getting late, but I'm still typing words galore
- My wife is yelling, "come to bed!"; her words I cleverly ignore
- Although I know my penance is a night spent sleeping on the floor
- I am the very model of a Wikipedia editor
- Although he knows his penance is a night spent sleeping on the floor
- He is the very model of a Wikipedia editor
- I am the very model of a Wikipedia editor
- I'm in a dozen WikiProjects, or is it thirteen? I'm not sure
- I look for speling errors, stale clichés, and other bummery
- I usually remember to write a thorough edit summary
- I have a load of barnstars which decorate my User page
- (I pass them out like candy, other editors to encourage)
- And a set of Userboxes, documenting trivia
- Like fluency in Leetspeak and my travels to Bolivia
- I'm intimate with each and every guideline, rule, and policy
- My sources are reliable and my writing is NPOV
- Unless I cite a reference, I won't claim that two plus two is four[citation needed]

- I am the very model of a Wikipedia editor
- I'm well-versed on the days events, like Israel and the terror war
- I often write upon these topics, reverting other's POV
- (I also edit tamer stuff, on topics such as irony)
- I always manage to restrain my opinions political
- It's the others who are biased, making edits hypocritical
- I usually assume good faith, and don't get into edit wars
- I count my reverts carefully, three times per day and never more
- He counts his reverts carefully, three times per day and never more
- He counts his reverts carefully, three times per day and never more
- He counts his reverts carefully, three times per day and never more
- In short, I am addicted to this demon 'cyclopedia
- It's like 'lectronic crack, moreso than any other media
- Dammit, Jimbo Wales, you have laid me low like none before
