"Engages in "disruptive cite-tagging"; adds unjustified {{citation needed}} tags to an article when the content tagged is already sourced, uses such tags to suggest that properly sourced article content is questionable."
"Rejects or ignores community input: resists moderation and/or requests for comment, continuing to edit in pursuit of a certain point despite an opposing consensus from impartial editors."

"This is an explanatory supplement to the Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:Ownership of articles policies.
This page is intended to provide additional information about concepts in the page(s) it supplements. This page is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community."
"WikiBullying is using Wikipedia to threaten and/or intimidate other people, whether they are Wikipedia editors or not."
"If you feel that you are being bullied or another user has threatened you with bodily harm, it is important that you report them immediately to the Incidents page on the Administrator's Noticeboard so the matter can be properly dealt with."
"All complaints about bullying, even those which turn out to be unjustified should be treated with seriousness and respect, and any WP:BOOMERANG on individuals who have complained they are being bullied is contrary to the principles of respect for thoughtful intellectual discourse that Wikipedia represents. No one should ever fear coming forward to make the community aware of a bullying concern."
"There are essentially two forms of bullying on Wikipedia: attacks against the individual editor by targeting a single user, or giving the perception of power aimed at the entire Wikipedia community at large."
"Forms of WikiBullying:
1.1 Asserting ownership: "No article on Wikipedia is owned by any editor. Any text that is added to Wikipedia is freely licensed under WP:CC-BY-SA and other users are free to add, remove or modify it at will, provided that such editing is done responsibly."
1.2 POV Railroading: "Point of View (POV) railroading refers to the use of bullying tactics to discredit an editor with an opposing viewpoint or eliminate them from a discussion."
1.3 False accusations: "False accusations are a common form of bullying on Wikipedia, although people do sometimes make honest mistakes. Accusations of misconduct made without evidence are considered a serious personal attack."
1.4 Misrepresentation: "Quoting others out of context and other forms of straw man argument are against the civility policy. Again, try to find out if there has been a misunderstanding."
1.5 Making "no-edit" orders contrary to policy: "Another form of wikibullying is to issue no-edit orders which are not backed by current policies (or guidelines). A "no-edit" order is a message sent to a single editor (who is not banned) or to the Wikipedia community not to edit at all or in a particular manner, or not to edit a particular page or part of a page at all or in a particular manner. These messages can be sent to a user's talk page, placed on an article's talk page, or in hidden text that would not be missed if an editor attempts to edit the article or section. No editor may unilaterally take charge over an article or part of an article by sending no-edit orders.
There are some no-edit orders that are acceptable. For example, if a consensus has already been formed regarding a topic, and a single editor has constantly stubbornly defied the ruling, politely discussing this one-on-one on the user's talk page is acceptable."
1.6 Wikihounding: "Wikihounding is the singling out of one or more editors, and joining discussions on multiple pages or topics they may edit or multiple debates where they contribute, to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work. This is with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance or distress to the other editor. Wikihounding usually involves following the target from place to place on Wikipedia."
1.7 Use of hidden text: "Some unacceptable uses are:
Telling all other editors not to edit the page
Telling others not to remove a section of the article, as if the section were written in stone
Telling others that a page should not be proposed for deletion, when this may be doubted by others
Writing new guidelines that apply specifically to the page and branding them as "policy." In the past, policies that have been proposed for a single article have failed to attain a consensus."
1.8 Real life threats: "The Wikimedia Foundation, if need be, will investigate or arrange for law enforcement to investigate threats of violence."
