Why did a page such as this not exist?

I am surprised that this page did not exist. WP is being built by

editors as a service for the readers. We must not forget this. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 21:07, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply

Distinguishing this from "Read-only Wikipedian"

Some years ago, I created a category "Read-only Wikipedian" but it soon got deleted, on the grounds that any one who put his/her username there would be contradicting what the category said. I am glad now it did get deleted - I see that to be a Wikipedian, one has to edit the

encyclopaedia, but if one only reads the articles, one comes under the category of Wikipedia: Reader. For a time, I thought I would be a "read-only Wikipedian", but since this rather silly belief, I have made over 4, 000 edits to the English Wikipedia. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 23:27, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply

To let you know how silly this belief is, my latest edit count just about reaches 5, 000 edits! ACEOREVIVED (talk) 19:53, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just wish to say how pleased I am that this article exists - I expect that there are a quite a lot of us who ourselves as readers rather than editors of Wikipedia. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 11:36, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
