As another strand of my work for the UK Charity Commission on how well WMUK is controlling and monitoring Wikipedia, I would like recent IRC logs. The smuttier and more juvenile, the better. Extra barnstars for prominent Wikipedians involved.
Thanking you all in advance! |

I rather liked this exchange (Tue Jun 28 23:37:23 2011), featuring the perpetually foul-mouthed Ironhold (Oliver Keyes, Community Liaison, Product Development for the Wikimedia Foundation)
QUOTE [00:03] <Ironholds> "I found Reagle's book very interesting as an illustration of how a comparative outsider perceives Wikipedia. The problem I have with it isn't so much the content as the place the book has - it's seen as the work to emulate if you want to write about Wikipedia in an academic setting. And because it contains some inaccuracies - purely, I'm sure, as a result of being written by someone on the outside - we have a real risk of these inaccuracies being repeated" [00:03] <Ironholds> Fluffernutter, he proposed a breaching experiment [00:03] <Ironholds> I told him if he tried it, I'd block him; he called me out to sue for threatening him [00:04] <Fluffernutter> Ironholds: wait, Reagle did? Was this a gendergap thing? It raises a vague memory but I can't call up the details. [00:06] <Ironholds> Fluffernutter: yup. Plus his paper "free as in sexist" which INFURIATES me [00:06] <Fluffernutter> oh, that's the one i reviewed i think [00:06] <Ironholds> he is a narrow-minded beardy fuckwit who understands half of what he's talking about and can communicate maybe a quarter. If you gave me a copy of his book I would choose to eat it before I chose to read it. He thinks that the gendergap is all about gender. Fucking moron How ironic. The naive academic Joseph Reagle writes a book about Wikipedia, saying how it is a wonderful example of open collaboration and Wikilove etc, and the Community Liaison officer says all this about it not being open and Reagle is not an insider and adds, totally gratuitously, that Reagle is a "narrow-minded beardy fuckwit". Great. |

I suspect Ironholds is just trolling. Prof. Reagle is a long-time editor (User:Reagle, since April 2004), knows practically all the Foundation bigwigs, and has spoken at several of the wiki mash-ups--hardly an outsider. Or maybe Ironholds is that much of an idiot . . . . |
