Français: Canal IRC/extraits choisis 

<jwales> I just realized that no one can actually understand anything about wikipedia until they read [[m:bash]]
<Morven> As a self-reference, of course, that should be quoted on [[m:bash]].

This is a collection of quotes from the channels in the Wikimedia Foundation's discussion channels and maybe a little from the recent changes channels if the RC-bot pulls something particularly funny. All entries here should be in fortune-compatible format, the goal here is to make a quality fortune-package.

Note: Please remove timestamps unless they're important to the humor value of the quote, but if you are going to use them please use the standard ISO 8601 date notation, also do not be afraid to edit the logs to leave out excess garbage such as another discussion which was going on at the same time or other irrelevant things, within fairness of course.

See also quotes from Wikimedia developers.

Adding quotes

[edit]

Many Wikipedia-related IRC channels have rules against publishing chat-logs online. Please make sure you have the consent of all involved before posting or the people involved in administrating the IRC channels may remove your access. Also, it's rude. Yes, it's funny, until someone sees it as insensitive or whatever and holds it against the speakers.

Here is a list of people who permit any quotes of theirs to be used here (add yourself), unless stated otherwise. Some people have restrictions such as being quotable only from public channels - please respect those limitations. Everyone else must be asked before quoting.

[edit]
  • Execute the following program to create two files: wikimedia (the raw text of all the quotations on this page) and wikimedia.dat (a binary index into the text). Move them into your fortune cookie directory (/usr/share/fortunes or /usr/share/games/fortune).
perl -MLWP::UserAgent -e '$response = LWP::UserAgent->new->get("http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title={{PAGENAMEE}}&amp;action=raw"); die $response->status_line unless $response->is_success; die "Could not find quotation block on this page.\n" unless ($text) = $response->content =~ m,<pre><nowiki>(.*)</nowiki></pre>,sx; die "open: $ARGV[0]: $!\n" unless open F, ">", $ARGV[0]; print F $text; system "strfile", $ARGV[0], "$ARGV[0].dat"' wikimedia

Quotes

[edit]

Archives of old channel quotes may be found here: Archives.

Please read the bit at the top about the Fortune-compatible format to reduce time spent on maintenance of this page. The quote beginning with "<DavidGerard> yes, it's suddenly fixed" demonstrates the format. Don't wikify this, it should be directly copied from the IRC channels (there is already a <nowiki></nowiki> tag around the whole thing). Also, please wrap your lines at the 79th character (both to prevent widening of this page, and to make it usable for text-based consoles).

Please insert new quotations at the bottom

<Helpmebot> Thanks, gwickwire
* gwickwire screams in terror and re-blows his rape whistle.
<Huon> what, because the bot thanks you for oil?
<gwickwire> YES! It shouldn't know how to do that!
[..]
<wolfgang42> I expect Helpmebot has probably achieved sentience by listening 
             to discussions on IRC
<Helpmebot> wolfgang42, OK, it took me a while, but after spending years sat 
            in various channels watching you guys, I finally just couldn't 
            keep quiet.
<wolfgang42> You see?
<gwickwire> Ah, okay
<Huon> okay, that would be convincing if I believed there was intelligent

[the question is posed: "How many Arbs does it take to screw in a light bulb?"]
<Fluffernutter> Trick question. Arbcom can't agree on whether to use incandescent 
or LED, so they just don't change the bulbs
<Wizardman> Screwing in's the easy part. taking it out to begin with? heh
<InShaneee> my answer: "Just one, but that doesn't count all the people who show 
up to the RfC to finalize the Lightbulb proposal"
<Wizardman> YOU UNSCREWED IT WRONG WAT R U DOIN
<Fluffernutter> alternative answer: Twelve to screw it in, one to leak 
the schematics
<InShaneee> "Unknown, the only electrician recused himself for 
prior involvement"
<Wizardman> Proposed Finding of Fact: Last time we changed the bulb, 
we screwed it in at night. Remedy: Don't screw it in during the daytime.
<Wizardman> ..but in what timezone? Crap, forget i said anything.
<InShaneee> Outside view by NotHelpingAnything: I think we should consider 
the possibility of using a car headlight, there's many benefits to be had
<Fluffernutter> "We don't have a procedure for changing lightbulbs. 
Before we can change anything, we need a motion!"
<Wizardman> Oppose: User is POV pusher who works for the car headlight company
<InShaneee> "As a volunteer encyclopedia, no one has a responsibility 
to change it. Tag the lightbulb, notify Wikiproject Building Maintenence, 
and let things take their course."
<Fluffernutter> "We don't need to figure this out ourselves, we'll just 
pass discretionary lightbulb sanctions and let AE figure it out"
<InShaneee> wait, wait, I've got it. "There is no need for a new lightbulb 
at this time. The current lightbulb is strongly cautioned not to stay burned out."
<Fluffernutter> InShaneee for arbcom!
<Wizardman> Remedy 6: The Local Power Company is reminded to make sure 
the lightbulb actually gets the wattage it needs.
<Wizardman> Meanwhile said company wasn't a party to the case and is 
confused as hell.

*** tristanian has joined #wikipedia-en
<tristanian> hello all, i have a question if i may
<tristanian> i am working on an article on a person from Tristan da Cunha and am 
unsure what english wikipedia regards as "independent" sourcing
<iDangerMouse> Hi
<iDangerMouse> tristanian: Like books,
<iDangerMouse> Newspapers
<iDangerMouse> Magazines
<iDangerMouse> Anything newsworthy, to make your article notable
<tristanian> well the issue i am having is that Tristan da Cunha has only 270 people,
and only 6 surnames, so essentially us Tristanians are all related, although not as 
bad as Pitcairn Island
<revent> Ouch.
<iDangerMouse> Well if its newsworthy
<iDangerMouse> you can prove it
<tristanian> so would an article written by someone with the same surname as the subject 
be regarded as "independent" of the subject?
<iDangerMouse> From a book source or what so ever
<iDangerMouse> Books, newspapers etc
<iDangerMouse> Scholars work
<tristanian> we have an island newspaper of course
<iDangerMouse> Local news
<iDangerMouse> is acceptable
<BlastHardcheese> if it's a geographic place people aren't really going to care unless 
you're part of the tourism board or something, just don't repeat government press releases word-for-word
<tristanian> so would an article written by a fellow Tristanian who is not related by name, 
but is also possibly my sister, would that be regarded as independent sourcing?
<revent> BlastHardcheese, ...on a person from... :P
<iDangerMouse> tristanian: not really
<iDangerMouse> tristanian: whats the newspaper, needs to be verified
<iDangerMouse> And that news paper, whatever, has to be recognized
<revent> tristanian, If the person has only been covered by an island newspaper with a 
circulation of 270 people, no matter how many times, I'm sorry to tell you this but a lot 
of people are going to object on grounds of notability.
<tristanian> revent: I have heard that Wikipedia has something called bias
<revent> tristanian, There are, to be honest, many biases in the selection of subjects for 
articles on Wikipedia. Some are intentional, some are just due to what (volunteer) editors 
have been inclined to write about.
<tristanian> yes, i have heard about this bias and how it works, here on Tristan we 
experience this sort of bias as part of our every day life
<tristanian> from only seeing a ship to get off this rock every couple of months to get 
out into the wide world, like seriously, if we could get off this island we probably 
wouldn't sleep with our sisters, which is another thing that we feel bias on
<tristanian> so revent, I totally understand these biases and how they work
<tristanian> but even if i could get off this rock, i'd still sleep with my sister :>
<tristanian> bye all, thanks for help
*** tristanian has quit IRC: Quit: Page closed

<Avada_Kedavra> Well, it's evident we expect more from helpees 
<tom29739> Something that may be of a little help here... xTools is broken and t
he devs are working to fix it.
<Matthew_> tom29739: Yes.  Indeed.
<Matthew_> Waggie: You can stop, I've found the issue.
<tom29739> Matthew_, you're one of them, I hear.
<MarkTraceur> Matthew_: Waggie pasted in the entire request log, now it won't st
op until the log is finished
<Matthew_> tom29739: On a very low level, yes.
<Avada_Kedavra> Matthew_, there's no stopping
<Matthew_> MarkTraceur: OK dang.  
<MarkTraceur> And even if there is an op here I honestly want to see the end of 
this
<Avada_Kedavra> there's no end
<Avada_Kedavra> :P

<SwisterTwister> What the hell happened??
<Avada_Kedavra> clever thing to do Waggie
<tom29739> ^ very.
<Avada_Kedavra> I'd have never thought of that
<Matthew_> Anyway, all I needed was the proper URL.
<Matthew_> It's a database issue.  I'd need to dig into the code but I've tried 
to fix this particular issue before.

<Waggie> Yes, yes I should have.
<tom29739> I did suggest that.
* SwisterTwister is still not understanding why this happened????
<Avada_Kedavra> disconnecting your znc was a clever idea 
<tom29739> Mid post though, so it probably wouldn't help.
<Waggie> tom29739, I'd already pasted it and it was all in my buffers.

d out how to fix yet.  Sorry :/
