My views on Wikipedia

I enjoy reading articles here, and sometimes use them as a starting point for research, or as a suggested point of reference for others
When time and knowledge allow, I want to "give back" to the project by contributing effort
I value collegiality

Buckels, Erin E., Trapnell, Paul D., & Paulhus, Delroy L. (2014). Trolls just want to have fun. Personality and Individual Differences, Volume 67, Pages 97–102 "... Both studies revealed similar patterns of relations between trolling and the Dark Tetrad of personality: trolling correlated positively with sadism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, using both enjoyment ratings and identity scores. Of all personality measures, sadism showed the most robust associations with trolling and, importantly, the relationship was specific to trolling behavior. Enjoyment of other online activities, such as chatting and debating, was unrelated to sadism. Thus cyber-trolling appears to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism."
