The purpose of this essay is to define and label specific ways that bullying happens in Wikipedia, for easier reference. This might help in naming and countering bullying when it happens, in real time, or in discussing it after the fact during arbitration or wherever. It might also provide some ideas for those interested in bullying, oh well. These ideas are hard-won from experience.
Bullying in Wikipedia is using negative actions to harass another editor in a systematic way, in general violation of Wikipedia's civility standards.
