A Wikipedia cultist believes any of the following obviously foolish things:
- that Wikipedia is a community rather than simply an internet portal
- that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, even though all its content is in the GFDL corpus and can be copied anywhere by anyone, and there is no credible source validation
- that sysop vandalism somehow improves the GFDL corpus (it doesn't) and does not violate GFDL (it does)
- that all GFDL corpus access providers must provide links to Wikipedia as if it were always the authoritative version of any article in the corpus
- that Jim Wales is a GodKing or can be referred to same as if that were harmless
- that the Wikipedia mailing list is actually a source of definitive knowledge or truth suitable to republish in the articles themselves
