IRC examples, let's have them please Options

[Peter Damian]

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!

[Poor puffed-up popinjay]

The GNAA has a lot.

#wikimedia-ops logs

#wikipedia logs

#wikipedia-en logs

One of #wikipedia-blptf

One of #wikipedia-de

I also have some of #wikimedia-sopa

[17:01] <vvv> http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/26143
[17:01] <vvv> This should surely go to our SOPA pages
[17:01] <vvv> People have been asking about how they can act in the UK
[17:01] == PeterSymonds [~Peter@wikimedia/PeterSymonds] has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[17:02] <gmaxwell> vvv: that looks good.. only 3.7k signatures.
[17:02] <FT2> that one got discussed last night
[17:02] == PeterSymonds [~Peter@wikimedia/PeterSymonds] has joined #wikimedia-sopa
[17:03] <vvv> What was the decision?
[17:03] <FT2> "heart's in the right place, wording could be improved". SOme UK Wikimedians were working on a version to suggest too
[17:03] <FT2> will try to find a link
[17:03] <vvv> http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/27728
[17:04] <gmaxwell> even when the plackout is over that should get added to the page that will be in the residual banner.
[17:04] == Mentifisto [mnt@wikipedia/Mentifisto] has joined #wikimedia-sopa

[17:05] <FT2> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOP...ion/UK_petition
[17:05] <FT2> I put a petition wording on comcom-l, someone adapted it for the UK
[17:06] <FT2> dont know how far it got or anything
[17:06] <FT2> a moment
[17:06] <bep> usenet sites also… contributing
[17:06] <bep> http://i.imgur.com/ejP5D.png
[17:07] <FT2> "Okay, well I've submitted the petition as written. It may still not be approved for days, though, which is a bit of an issue. - Jarry1250"
[17:08] <apergos> nice
[17:08] == Risker [~chatzilla@wikimedia/Risker] has joined #wikimedia-sopa
[17:08] <apergos> someone should have an art gallery with some of the most promiment and/or most inventive blackouts
[17:08] <Titoxd> apergos: I prefer the Oatmeal's
[17:09] <Reedy> "I just heard from @EFF that as of a few hours ago blacklist.eff.org has orchestrated 750,000+ unique emails to Congress"
[17:09] <apergos> does anyone need anything from me in the next little while? cause otherwise it's midnight and I'm going to call it a day.
[17:09] == alolita [~asharma@216.38.130.165] has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
[17:09] <apergos> Titoxd: yeah, that was pretty darn funny. (I do it for the kittens, myself.)
[17:10] == Jake_Wartenberg [~Jake_Wart@wikipedia/jake-wartenberg] has joined #wikimedia-sopa
[17:10] <gmaxwell> apergos: I thought the 2600 blackout was really good but it wasn't very artsy. It has clear crisp message on an absolutely minimal page.
[17:10] == kaldari [~rkaldari@216.38.130.163] has quit [Quit: kaldari]
[17:10] <apergos> that's a fine reason to include it (I thought it was "artsy" in that it reflected a clear 2600 esthetic)
[17:10] <hf25> Risker!
[17:11] <Risker> hi hf25
[17:11] <hf25> Arbs never seem to use IRC
[17:11] <hf25> Hi
[17:11] <hf25>
[17:11] <Risker> hf25, I am one of the few who does...although usually only in the admins channel
[17:11] == alolita [~asharma@216.38.130.162] has joined #wikimedia-sopa
[17:12] <Risker> things are looking pretty good, the site didn't explode or anything
[17:12] <sgardner> Fluffernutter: yes to a postmortem! If somebody wants to start a meta page, that would be superb. A good format for that kind of thing is to focus on next time -- "keep doing X," "stop doing Y," and "start doing Z."
[17:12] <sgardner> Fluffernutter: if you start a page, I will contribute :-)
[17:12] * Fluffernutter nominates someone with organizational skills to do it. Which isn't me >_>
[17:12] == kaldari [~rkaldari@216.38.130.163] has joined #wikimedia-sopa
[17:12] <Risker> you can do it, Fluff.
[17:13] * Fluffernutter also doesn't have access to any of the data, really...
[17:13] * Fluffernutter looks shifty, tries to scurry out the door
[17:13] <gmaxwell> Fluffernutter: you nag people for it, of course.
[17:13] <Fluffernutter> hey, gmaxwell, you should go start a meta page! say, a postmortem sort of thing!
[17:13] <gmaxwell> I have about e free cycles.

Some from #wikipedia-en the same day (Jan 18)

[16:53] <STFUAboutSOPA> i think it was on reddit, actually
[16:53] == c-moll_ [user@146-52-0-44-dynip.superkabel.de] has joined #wikipedia-en
[16:53] <Thogo> that word probably means a lot of things in some of the 7000 languages.
[16:53] <Fluffernutter> Sopa apparently means "shut up" in greek, or so someone told me
[16:54] <pir^2|SOPA|PIPA> o rly?
[16:54] <SOPA_Must_Die> How appropriate
[16:54] <Commandhat> pretty much everyone knows "sopa" is spanish for "soup"
[16:54] == yrt-FUSOPA has changed nick to yrtneg
[16:54] <yrtneg> yeap
[16:54] <henrik> Fluffernutter: and "thrash" in Swedish.

[16:55] <AVRS> In Russian "pipa"/"pipka"/"pipochka" is something small that stands out, like a round button (or something LED-shaped)
[16:56] == pir^2|SOPA|PIPA has changed nick to pirSOPA
[16:56] <Thogo> XD
[16:56] <AVRS> can be used as a light euphemism
[16:56] * hf25 purrs. Soup.

[16:59] <AVRS> I asked because on TV they mentioned the funny name. Maybe it's one of the ways of the law namers to divert the attention…
