We are not [[Wikipedia]] and [[There Is No Such Thing as Notability]] here. Therefore, while you may find the occasional [[Wikipedia Updater]] (or [[Wikipedia Syntaxer|Syntaxer]]), most [[The Contributors|Tropers]] are much more jovial, relaxed and [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]] than Wikipedians may seem to be.
 
So you would expect that when you meet a Troper when you're on Wikipedia, they'd be equally jovial, silly, footnote-loose and citation-free, right? Well, not necessarily. While some Tropers avoid Wikipedia for its formal, citation-reliant style and insistence on notability, others enjoy it.
 
On Wikipedia, you might find that they might want to merge, or even delete, an article you just launched. Or start adding those annoying [''[[Template:Context|citation needed]]''] tags to it. This may come off as mean... this could lead to you being confused by their apparent wikipersonas being so different. You've just been rumbled by '''Dr. Pedia and Mr. Trope''', though you might personally conclude Dr. Pedia to be more of the monster.
