NOTE: Outside/real world refers to any venue, website, body, or place outside of Wikipedia, ranging from one on one conversation (IRL, email, phone, Instant messaging) up to other websites (news sources, Wikis, message boards) up to legal/government agencies, or anything in between. Basically, anything not hosted on Wikimedia Foundation IP addresses/domain names.
