16:26 < QueenOfFrance> IRC isn't open.
This is why it shouldn't be part of Wikipedia.
16:29 < nonsenseferret> openness, accountability QueenOfFrance ?
16:29 < QueenOfFrance> nonsenseferret: no such thing. Also, if he doesn't want it, we surely won't make him one.
16:29 < nonsenseferret> so you are clear you dont think openness and accountability is important in wikipedia matters
16:29 < nonsenseferret> can we quote you on that?
16:29 < QueenOfFrance> This is not a wikipedia matter.
I'm confused. Is IRC part of Wikipedia, or not? If it is, why is publishing logs forbidden, and if it is not, why is it linked from Wikipedia?

Howdy friends, long time no see :) Your man with the magnifying glass is on vacation. I was checking my email here on the hotel internet just now and couldn't resist taking a peek into the old logpile. Sure enough we got a few snippets to see.

Firstly a lil' reminder of tolerance and maturity:
#wikipedia-en on July 13 wrote: 03:21 -!- russavia [3aaaa417@wikimedia/Russavia] has joined #wikipedia-en
03:21 < russavia> anyone seen mareklug
03:22 < {Soap}> he hasnt been on for 2 weeks
03:22 < VonKranke> Comeuppance
03:22 < {Soap}> i think he must have decided not to come back
03:23 < SigmaWP> What happened?
03:23 < VonKranke> Was he the arrogant smart mouth one?
03:23 < {Soap}> he was making fun of some gay guy on this channel (You may remember that from my very first post! - Chats)
03:23 < SigmaWP> hah, gayyyyyyy
03:24 < {Soap}> the rest of us were too
03:24 < VonKranke> Maybe someone dcc'd him a fake jpg and found out where he lived
03:24 < {Soap}> it was kind of a free for all
03:24 < russavia> mareklug making fun of a gay guy? hmmm surely yuo jest
03:25 < {Soap}> russ: seriously all of #en was guilty
03:25 < {Soap}> it was one of those hopeless POV users who comes here as a last resort after losing an edit war on Wikipedia
03:25 < russavia> i saw log of his pwning of ironholds....is that who yuo talk of?
03:25 < {Soap}> and he accused all of us of being homophobic
03:25 < VonKranke> From what I saw of the guy he was just another angry arrogant smartass who probably hated himself so much that it showed out as outwardly channeled anger at others
03:26 < VonKranke> showed up*
03:26 < russavia> ahhhh ok soap
03:27 < {Soap}> feel free ot invite marek back to the channel
03:27 < {Soap}> I miss him
03:28 < VonKranke> Why, so he can smart off at more people and alienate them? Nice.
03:28 -!- Bradford [kvirc@unaffiliated/bradford] has joined #wikipedia-en
03:28 < russavia> got a log of it?
03:28 < VonKranke> Of whom are you asking that? Me?
03:28 < {Soap}> i do yeah, but i'd ratrher not post it
03:29 < VonKranke> Oh. Yes let's do see just how far he went.
03:30 < russavia> anyone with log it is being directed to....pm me
Gee Scott, you should pay more attention to Wikipediocracy! :evilgrin: Ain't you reading this thread?!

Now who said Wikipedia was run by children?

20:38 < IShadowed> lol I was 12. So cute.
20:38 < Shirik> omg this was 3 years ago
20:38 < IShadowed> ^
20:39 < Prabash> IShadowed, you were 12?!
20:39 * WikiPuppies wishes I could go back in time and alter my original signature.
20:39 < IShadowed> at that time
20:40 < Prabash> So you are 15 now?
20:40 < Firefly67> IShadowed: you voted in an RFfA at 12?
20:40 < Prabash> In that case I would be 5 years older than you :P
20:41 < IShadowed> I'm pretty sure Shirik's rfa is not the first one I voted in
20:41 < Prabash> Crazy how she survived that
20:41 < IShadowed> I was probably 10 or 11 when I first did

They certainly try to, but if they can't open it they attempt to dig through it. Perhaps there's a lesson for us.

A self-described 15-year-old writing "biographies" on pornographic actors.

Do you feel the loving thoughtfulness educational experience bleeding through? (My inclination is that this person is neither the age nor gender they claim, but go know).

I've never personally hidden my age, but I certainly didn't go around voting in administrators anywhere when I was 10! I'm pretty sure my first RfA vote was earlier this year.

Hola amigos! :wave:

IRC is dull as your proverbial ditchwater at the moment... just inconsequential chit chat and occasionally some argument between wasters who can't keep it on the wiki:

03:41 <Retrolord> hi

03:41 <PinkAmpersand> i'm not an admin, of course
03:41 <Retrolord> a user is wikihounding/stalking me
03:41 <PinkAmpersand> but... just let ANI take its time
03:41 <Retrolord> and has been doing so for about a month, every admin refuses to do anything about it
03:42 <Jasper_Deng> Soyez patiente!
03:42 <PinkAmpersand> Retrolord: is this PantherLeopard, or someone else?
03:43 <Retrolord> ofcourse its pantherleapord
03:43 <Retrolord> pantherleapord makes next to zero constructive contributions
03:43 <Retrolord> all he does is an adoption course and stalk me
03:48 <Guerillero> aren't you indefed
03:48 <{Soap}> he came back
03:49 <PinkAmpersand> Retrolord: you're aware that you haven't presented any evidence of stalking in the ANI thread, right? so far you're just talking about a single comment
03:49 <PinkAmpersand> (not that you should or shouldn't present said evidence... just saying)
03:50 <Retrolord> who the fuck closed the ani thread
03:51 <GorillaWarfare> Retrolord: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... on=history
03:51 <GorillaWarfare> Retrolord: You can use the page history tab as well as the rest of us.
03:51 <PinkAmpersand> Retrolord: there's a glitch with the template, which is why we can't see the closing comment
03:52 <PinkAmpersand> i'll fix it
03:52 <Retrolord> ive unclosed it
03:52 <PinkAmpersand> just don't edit that section, 'cuz i'm fucking sick of ec's
03:52 <Retrolord> i want to add all the diffs about stalking
03:52 <GorillaWarfare> Retrolord already un-closed it -.-
03:52 <Guerillero> and I put it back into place
03:53 <Retrolord> i said i had more diffs to give
03:53 <Retrolord> why did you close it again?
03:53 <PinkAmpersand> Retrolord: if you do that again, you will almost definitely be blocked
03:53 <PinkAmpersand> and you will almost definitely not be unblocked for some time
03:53 <GorillaWarfare> Retrolord: I will highly recommend you let this conversation be.
03:53 <Retrolord> I am being harrased by an editor.
03:54 <PinkAmpersand> Retrolord: then wait a week and present your evidence
03:54 <PinkAmpersand> at this point you've started enough ANI threads that it'll be "Boy Who Cried Wolf"
03:56 <PinkAmpersand> also, seriously, please read over my point about "mental illness"
03:56 <T13> Retrolord: ANI isn't the place for reporting user behavior I'm afraid.
03:56 <Jasper_Deng> T13: it is, but he's taking it overboard
03:57 <PinkAmpersand> Jasper_Deng: i think t13 means long-term behavior
03:57 <Jasper_Deng> Pink: it's for that too, but not only is Retrolord not doing it right, he's escalating it way too early
03:58 <T13> The one time I went there for that I was told it belonged at /U or some such...
03:58 <PinkAmpersand> T13: RFC/U... yeah, it's a blurry line
03:58 <Jasper_Deng> RFC/U probably
03:58 <Jasper_Deng> but it isn't like ANI /isn't/ for solving such issues, /especially/ when RfC/U failed.
03:58 <Retrolord> suprise suprise
03:59 <Retrolord> pantherleapord gets 3 warnings then takes them all off his talkpage
03:59 <PinkAmpersand> I think the idea is that if you can show that something's bad, and that an editor's been warned before and ignored the warnings, then you can do ANI. but if it's a bunch of little things that add up, then RFC/U is better
03:59 <GorillaWarfare> Retrolord: He's perfectly allowed to do that.
03:59 <Jasper_Deng> as long as he understands, which I think he does
04:05 <T13|sleeps> ...
04:05 <PantherLeapord> ...
04:08 <PinkAmpersand> PantherLeapord: sup?
04:08 <Guerillero> I suggest that you do something that isn't in the wikipedia space Retrolord
04:08 <PantherLeapord> Not much. Just learning from my mistakes
04:08 <Guerillero> like *gasp* write an article
04:10 <PantherLeapord> I'm guessing there was a nesplit?
04:10 <PantherLeapord> *netsplit
04:10 <Guerillero> it normally says so
04:10 <Swob> maybe
04:11 <Swob> i got disconnected
04:11 <Swob> i didnt see anyone else go down though
04:11 <PinkAmpersand> Retrolord and PantherLeapord: Since both of you are here... Panther, stop talking to Retrolord. Just leave him alone. If he does something wrong, someone else can handle it. Retro, stop overreacting to things people say, even if they're mean.
04:12 <PinkAmpersand> nvm, i see you've already agreed to that, panther
04:12 <PantherLeapord> You live and you learn. I am still learning how things work here and I learned stuff today
04:13 <Swob> ha
04:13 <Swob> you were right
04:13 <PinkAmpersand> jinxed it!
04:13 <PantherLeapord> :P
04:13 <Guerillero> oh?
04:15 <PinkAmpersand> PantherLeapord: anyways, that's a good philosophy. we all make mistakes when we're newer here. personally, i've always made sure to follow WP:DGAF and WP:SLOTH
04:15 <PinkAmpersand> (in fact, sometimes i'm lazy to a fault)
04:15 <PantherLeapord> (I know the feeling!)
04:17 <PinkAmpersand> (the last time I suggested someone read WP:DGAF, he proceeded to vandalize it with multiple proxy IPs)
I suppose no news is good news hey?! But I'll keep the logs rolling (do you see what I did there ;)) so you don't have to.

Love, Chats xx

Oh god, not him. I encountered this Retrolord (T-C-L)in two different ANI filings of his yesterday, not sure what to make of it all. In one of them, he was flipping out over another editor saying he had a "superiority complex", claiming it was an allegation of mental illness. When you look at the userpage, that allegation may not be too far off the mark, it has an image of Horatio Nelson, styled with
This is the official user page of His Excellency The Right Honourable Admiral of the Fleet, His Majesty THE KING Lord Baron SIR RETROLORD,1st Lord Baron Wikipedia, Grand Archduke of the Realm KG AK GCB GBE CMG OM GCSI GCIE GCVO
along with an orange box on the talk page
By order of His Excellency The Right Honourable Admiral of the Fleet, His Majesty THE KING Lord Baron SIR RETROLORD,1st Lord Baron Wikipedia KG AK. ALL POSTS on this talk page MUST refer to His Excellency by either his excellencies' full title, or as "His Excellency". Failure to adhere to this royal decree will result in exile for LIFE.
I mean, it surely has to be tongue-in-cheek, but the way the boy seems to carry himself it's just a wee bit weird. Even NYB indulges him with a salutation of May it please Your Lordship. :facepalm:

No real content work at all by Retrolord; he just trolls AN/I and wastes time on his user talk. Like Pink& he acts as if he has been around forever. Typical policy wonk, although I think he can be reformed at his early stage.

This reminded me of a thread in gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org

13 year old joins WP Pornography?

Entertaining...bizarre...scary...odd? Real? fake?

Don't get me wrong. If Wikipedia was around when I was 14, I so would have joined WP:Feminism. But, I was a 14 year old riot grrrl using BBSes. ;-)

<foks> what a thing to say in a logged channel
Quite, foks. Quite.

31st July. Some join/part/nick noise edited out.
[15:55] <jackmcbarn> why does the global(?) note about the rfc over visual editor keep getting bigger and more obnoxious?
...
[15:58] <Swob> what global note?
[15:58] <Swob> make it bigger, I cant see it
[15:59] <Technical_13> That wasn't what she said...
[16:00] <ScientificAlan> OMG
[16:00] <ScientificAlan> LOL
[16:00] <NativeForeigner> I can make it bigger :P
[16:01] <ScientificAlan> "Make it bigger, I can't see it" is exactly what she said to her last boyfriend
[16:01] <Swob> one thing I love about Wikipedia is that everyone is always so mature and on-topic in the chat rooms
[16:02] <ScientificAlan> Lol
[16:03] <IDoH> One thing I love about Wikipedia is that everyone appreciates sarcasm
...
[16:04] <Qcoder00> OK
[16:05] <Qcoder00> So maybe that was BOLD
...
[16:05] <Qcoder00> .. Attemting to seperate out the categorisation of Adult content titles from other titles
[16:05] <Qcoder00> Everyone of my commentings out got reverted
[16:05] <IDoH> Qcoder00: WP:NOTCENSORED?
[16:05] <Qcoder00> (either by someone else, or by myself because there is no consensus)
[16:06] <Qcoder00> IDoH: This isn't NOTCENSORED
[16:06] <Qcoder00> The articles still existed
[16:06] <Qcoder00> It's about appropriate categorisation
[16:06] <IDoH> I see
[16:06] <ScientificAlan> I have a question.
[16:06] <Qcoder00> I don't think adult content titles , should be categorised alongside titles that aren't
[16:07] <ScientificAlan> Is the simple english Wikipedia censored, or are none of them censored?
[16:07] <BlastHardcheese> I assume this includes things like Ulysses, right
[16:07] <Qcoder00> Category seperation would stop rabid Daily Mail readers getting annoyed ;)
[16:07] <BlastHardcheese> since that contains *lots* of sexual content
[16:07] <Swob> Arabic Wikipedia is censored in some ways
[16:07] <Qcoder00> I've reverteda few that no-body noted
[16:07] <IDoH> ScientificAlan: All Wikipedias have their own rules..
[16:07] <Qcoder00> Swob: That's largely cultural
...
[16:07] <kylu> and wikiquotes and wiktionaries and wikinewses and....
[16:08] <Qcoder00> Predominantly Arabic sepaking countries having different cultural rules...
[16:08] <Swob> its not like there's a blacklist somewhere that says "No Muhammad images" or anything
[16:08] <NativeForeigner> NO GET OUT
[16:08] <Swob> theyve just agreed that they wont host any images of Muhammad even though whatever's on Commons is still accessible
[16:08] <Qcoder00> The one thing that is removed is anything that is actually illegal
[16:09] <Qcoder00> I.E No Wikimedia project will ever host child porn... and there is a fairly direct policy that pedo account will be indefinitly banned.
[16:09] <ScientificAlan> That's sad
[16:10] <IDoH> ScientificAlan: What is?
[16:10] <Qcoder00> What is?
...
[16:10] <ScientificAlan> What you just said, Qcoder.
[16:10] <ScientificAlan> What if I wanted to see a naked 13 year old?
[16:11] <Qcoder00> Not on Commons, Not on Wikipedia, because it would be illegal in Flordia..
[16:11] <IDoH> Then, I guess you'll have to ask a 13 year old to undress.
[16:11] <Qcoder00> Any ops arounf?
[16:12] <ScientificAlan> Lol, IDoH, I like your thinking there
[16:12] <Qcoder00> Any ops, I don't like where this is going
...
[16:12] <ScientificAlan> What, is a funny conversation illegal?
...
[16:13] <Swob> b&
...
[16:13] <Qcoder00> ScientificAlan: Some things aren't funny
[16:13] <Swob> Mh 7 kilojoules
[16:15] <ScientificAlan> ?
[16:15] <IDoH> ScientificAlan: Qcoder00 thought you were an adult.
[16:15] <Mh7kJ> Swob: indeed, hello :P
[16:15] <ScientificAlan> Oh
[16:15] <ScientificAlan> Never mind
[16:16] <Qcoder00> IDoH: I also hold slightly old-fashioned views...
[16:17] <GorillaWarfare> ScientificAlan: I'd still prefer you didn't discuss naked minors here
[16:17] <GorillaWarfare> Joke or not
...
[16:20] <BlastHardcheese> I'm looking at photos of an under-13-year old right now
[16:20] <ScientificAlan> Who?
[16:20] <GorillaWarfare> Guys, let's please stop this discussion now.
[16:20] <BlastHardcheese> as you know, this is proof that I'm two seconds away from raping them with my mind, even if the person is dead or whatever
[16:20] <foks> what a thing to say in a logged channel
[16:20] <GorillaWarfare> BlastHardcheese: Enough
[16:21] <BlastHardcheese> GorillaWarfare: go ahead and ban me, you fuckhead censors are destroying the projects
[16:21] <ScientificAlan> Wow...
[16:21] <ScientificAlan> Ummm...
[16:21] <BlastHardcheese> oh noes, someone was mean to me on the internet, mommy
[16:21] <foks> I was attacked by some idiot in the projects
[16:22] <foks> so dumb so dumb so dumb so
[16:22] <ScientificAlan> I think I will stop typing. This is way out of control
[16:22] <BlastHardcheese> https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cate ... ny_dipping oh noes naked people (on Wikimedia projects no less)
[16:23] <ScientificAlan> I don't see anything, because I'm not clicking on your link. c;
[16:23] <GorillaWarfare> BlastHardcheese: I think we all know there's a huge difference between images of naked minors, and images of naked adults
[16:24] <Krenair> Not sure if it's been mentioned already but Qcoder00 actually went to the #wikimedia-ops channel with <Qcoder00> Some monitoring on #wikipedia-en appreciated, someone is expressing some views about content and 13 year-olds I am concerned about
[16:24] <BlastHardcheese> well they seem to be grouped together frequently, like the ones on that page, since they both involve humans
[16:25] * Swob yawns
[16:25] <Swob> another typical night on #wikipedia-en
[16:25] <ScientificAlan> Lol
[16:25] <BlastHardcheese> but I guess given the current direction of the Foundation if they're not deleted altogether soon they'll probably be placed under a separate category "IF YOU CLICK ON THIS LINK YOU ARE A CHILD RAPIST AND WE'RE CALLING THE POLICE RIGHT NOW"
[16:26] <Qcoder00> Foundation is planning to be a lot tighter on nudity?
[16:26] <ScientificAlan> You are disrupting the channel
...
[16:33] <ScientificAlan> Yay, BlastHardcheese is on my ignore list
[16:33] <ScientificAlan> I've never used that before
[16:33] <ScientificAlan> It feels good
I have no idea who this "ScientificAlan" is, but he's evidently a teenager, judging from when he posted a Facebook link of a photo of someone he said was his girlfriend. I won't repost it here, but you can find it easily enough if you must.

One can understand why 14-year-old boys act like this on an IRC channel. Practically hardwired into their little brains.
Why "old people" like Sidaway do it, that's the mystery.

From what I know, there has been a IRC channel for Wikipedia since the early days. Don't forget IRC was the easiest way to make "friends", and almost a prerequisite, to pass RFA or ArbCom until 2008ish and nearly all of the foundation early staff was exclusively IRC.

Because their mentality is stuck at that stage of development?

It's simpler than that.

[19:17] <IDoH> Or too old, for ScientificAlan
...
[19:18] <ScientificAlan> I need a nice girl in her early 20's
[19:18] <T13|sleeps> Studies have shown women tend to have there sex drive peak in the mid 30s... Just sayin...

...
[19:23] <T13|sleeps> SigmaWP: lol whatever makes ScientificAlan happy I guess...
[19:24] <IDoH> I hope you think more about science, ScientificAlan.
[19:24] <SigmaWP> Hi Finnegan
[19:25] <ScientificAlan> If a Fluffernutter is a sandwich, can I eat her?
[19:25] <Finnegan> greetings, greek letter
[19:25] <Finnegan> and no
...
[19:25] <ScientificAlan> :c
[19:25] <T13|sleeps> Fluffy, does that ever get old?
[19:25] <ScientificAlan> You pinned the frown on the creeper right there... XD

[19:25] <Finnegan> it got old right about the first time
[19:26] <FastLizard4> Can we ban ScientificAlan from the universe for TMI>??
[19:26] <T13|sleeps> ScientificAlan focuses on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_Sci ... 0;film&#41;
[19:26] <ScientificAlan> Like, I can't go eating random admins?
[19:26] <ScientificAlan> And what's that?
[19:26] <FastLizard4> s/>\?\?$/?/
[19:26] <FastLizard4> T13|sleeps: hehe
[19:27] <T13|sleeps> I'm old enough to remember that movie, and thought it was cool...
[19:27] <ToAruShiroiNeko> FastLizard4 if a group of civilians kidnap a person and police doesnt bother searching for it, AND if no one hears it. Does it still make a sound?
[19:27] <FastLizard4> ToAruShiroiNeko: Of course not :D
[19:27] <Finnegan> you're all bonkers
[19:27] * FastLizard4 bonkers finn
[19:27] <SigmaWP> FastLizard4: If someone comes out as a socialist in the US, does he make a sound?
[19:27] <FastLizard4> o_O
[19:27] * FastLizard4 bonkers finneg
[19:27] <FastLizard4> Hmm
[19:27] <FastLizard4> I think my tab complete is broken
[19:27] <ScientificAlan> Lol
[19:28] <ScientificAlan> Finnegan is how you type it, I think. Unless Fluffy spelled it wrong.
[19:28] <ScientificAlan> Which I doubt
[19:28] <ToAruShiroiNeko> FastLizard4 it seems like http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbaros_%C5%9Eansal was taken away by a group of civilians
[19:29] <ToAruShiroiNeko> his name was added among a group of people on a hitlist on twitter
[19:29] <FastLizard4> Hmm
[19:29] <IDoH> Oh, Finnegan is Fluffernutter
[19:29] <ToAruShiroiNeko> can someone pinch me that this is a holywood movie?
[19:29] <IDoH> ?
[19:29] <T13|sleeps> Yes ido
[19:29] <ScientificAlan> You do? I think you sent that to the wrong person. ;)
[19:30] <ScientificAlan> Send that to your girlfriend... XD
[19:30] <Amgine> ToAruShiroNeko: holywould
[19:30] <T13|sleeps> Blah...
[19:30] <ScientificAlan> And it's Hollywood
[19:30] <ScientificAlan> :P
[19:30] <Amgine> So sure are you...
[19:30] <ScientificAlan> ?
[19:30] <ScientificAlan> What?
[19:31] <Amgine> [[wikt:pun]]
[19:31] <SigmaWP> FastLizard4: I shall take that as a no :(
[19:31] <ScientificAlan> Oh, and I forgot to mention, I'm not bonkers
[19:31] <ScientificAlan> I was tested
...
[19:31] <ScientificAlan> Hi
[19:32] <ScientificAlan> Oh god, you came here, and the first thing you see is "I was tested"... O.O
[19:32] <ScientificAlan> That must seem weird
[19:32] <ScientificAlan> I was typing about not being bonkers
[19:32] <ToAruShiroiNeko> FastLizard4 and the list is https://twitter.com/barbarossansal/stat ... 28/photo/1
[19:33] <ScientificAlan> Peachey, are you peachey?
...
[19:33] <ScientificAlan> What do you taste like?
[19:34] * ScientificAlan bites peachey|laptop
[19:34] <T13|sleeps> ScientificAlan: I give you credit.
...
[19:35] <Swob> yeah go on assuming everyone with a fruity nickname is female
[19:35] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Swob no such thing as males on the internet
[19:35] <ToAruShiroiNeko> everyone is female
[19:35] <ToAruShiroiNeko> real men dont use internet
[19:35] <T13|sleeps> That's a know sure fail with most women... Yet you persist.
[19:36] <ToAruShiroiNeko> macho men only eat ice cream
[19:36] <Amgine> besides, all laptops taste like chicken.
...
[19:36] <ScientificAlan> Lol
[19:37] <ScientificAlan> Laptops taste like... fluoride toothpaste... o.O
[19:37] <Amgine> I yield to your expertise in the matter.
[19:37] <IDoH> Didn't know you had pica, ScientificAlan
[19:38] <T13|sleeps> Real men wear pink tutus, drink from straws, and tell other men how pretty they are.
...
[19:38] <Swob> right
[19:38] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Amgine you lick laptops?
[19:38] <Swob> i do say t13 you look very nice tonight
[19:38] <ToAruShiroiNeko> T13|sleeps really?
[19:38] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I should do that then.
[19:39] <T13|sleeps> ToAruShiroiNeko: there are worse things to lick.
[19:39] <ToAruShiroiNeko> like ass.
[19:39] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Donkeys dont taste good probably
[19:40] <T13|sleeps> Some things even an IRC bot won't lick, like IDoH...
[19:40] <IDoH> Ha!
[19:40] <ScientificAlan> Oh, I would lick IDoH
[19:40] <Swob> we know
[19:40] <ScientificAlan> XD
[19:40] <IDoH> Lick laptops, ScientificAlan
[19:40] <Swob> alan ♥ idoh for evah
[19:40] * ScientificAlan licks IDoH's lips
[19:41] * ScientificAlan kisses IDoH
[19:41] * IDoH pushes ScientificAlan away
[19:41] * T13|sleeps feels ill...
[19:41] <Swob> tjeres no way youre anywhere near this outgoing in person
[19:41] <ScientificAlan> Lol
[19:41] <SigmaWP> Or maybe he just gets slapped a lot
[19:42] <ScientificAlan> Not too long ago, I surprised a girl by hugging her from behind
...
[19:43] <ScientificAlan> It was yesterday, at a Starbucks
[19:43] <ScientificAlan> I hugged her from behind, then she noticed it was me
...
[19:43] <ScientificAlan> She thought I was one of her friends... XD
...
[19:43] <T13|sleeps> How wrong she was...
...
[19:44] <ToAruShiroiNeko> ScientificAlan there is a governor in the south that mastered the arts
[19:44] <Amgine> ToAruShiroNeko: no, I was extrapolating from the general truism that everythin tastes a bit like chicken.
[19:44] <ScientificAlan> Well, actually, I'm technically her friend
[19:44] <T13|sleeps> But only on MySpace because she felt bad...
[19:44] * Jasper_Deng is now known as Jasper_Deng_away
[19:44] <ToAruShiroiNeko> oh
[19:44] <ScientificAlan> She really just thought I was a different friend
[19:44] <ToAruShiroiNeko> mayor Bob Filner
[19:45] <ScientificAlan> And no, I stalk her on Facebook
[19:45] <ScientificAlan> She doesn
[19:45] <ScientificAlan> *doesn't know yet
[19:45] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Amgine I believe mythbusters tried that
[19:45] <T13|sleeps> See, you're doibg it wrong...
[19:45] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Why would anyone want to abduct a fasion designer at midnight?
[19:45] <ScientificAlan> ?
[19:45] <T13|sleeps> All the cool kids use MySpace...
[19:45] <ScientificAlan> Lol
[19:45] <Amgine> agh.
[19:46] <ScientificAlan> That info is outdated
[19:46] <Amgine> also, [[wikt:irony]]
[19:46] <ToAruShiroiNeko> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... rtrait.jpg <- how can you NOT trust him?
[19:47] * T13|sleeps yawns...
[19:47] <IDoH> ToAruShiroiNeko: that guy looks like a creep!
[19:48] <ToAruShiroiNeko> IDoH he gropes women casually
[19:48] <IDoH> Unsurprising
[19:48] <Swob> whaaat
[19:48] <Swob> the eyes
[19:48] <Amgine> "she felt bad"
[19:49] <ToAruShiroiNeko> http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colber ... bob-filner
[19:49] <Swob> minor nitpick though, ToAruShiroiNeko, southern California is not "the South"
[19:49] <Amgine> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDGuvcGsOts <- sarcasm
[19:50] <Swob> the South begins somewhere around Dallas Texas and goes eastward to the Atlantic
[19:50] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Swob its south of the country :p
[19:51] <LtNOWIS> South means Southeast
...
[19:51] <Swob> the US census defines it as this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Us_south_census.png
[19:51] <LtNOWIS> That's due to history
[19:51] <Swob> which is a bit of an exaggeration, e.g. I dont think people in El Paso Texas consider themselves Southerners, but they cant divide states when defining census regions
[19:52] <T13|sleeps> I live in the north...
[19:52] <ScientificAlan> I live in the middle east.
[19:52] <ScientificAlan> XD
[19:52] <LtNOWIS> Yeah maryland and delaware aren't southern either
[19:53] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I am fascinated how you are taling about semantics when the mayor probably groped a dozen more women in the meanwhile
[19:53] <Amgine> Northern charm and souther efficiency.
[19:53] <Amgine> n
[19:53] <T13|sleeps> Only a dozen?
[19:53] <T13|sleeps> Sliw night in the mansion?
[19:53] <ToAruShiroiNeko> T13|sleeps he is capped by the amount of women he can get to...
[19:53] <Swob> better map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_o ... nition.png
[19:55] <Swob> some regions are easier to define than otehrs
[19:56] <ToAruShiroiNeko> like magnets of same poles he repells most women
[19:56] <ToAruShiroiNeko> so he needs to run really fast
...
[19:58] <LtNOWIS> I don't have a mayor
[19:58] <ScientificAlan> I need to go now
[19:58] <ScientificAlan> Good night
[19:58] <T13|sleeps> Bye kid..
[19:59] <SigmaWP> I think he's going to try picking someone up
[19:59] <ScientificAlan> ?
[19:59] <ScientificAlan> What do you mean?
[19:59] <T13|sleeps> His mom?

[19:22] <ScientificAlan> And she's real as in a real human
...
[19:22] <IDoH> On facebook, ScientificAlan?
[19:22] <IDoH> You think a lot about dating
[19:22] <ScientificAlan> I think a lot about you, Emily... :D
[19:22] <Finnegan> ..
[19:23] <SigmaWP> T13|sleeps: So are Japanese pillows with anime characters on them
...
[19:23] <T13|sleeps> SigmaWP: lol whatever makes ScientificAlan happy I guess...
[19:24] <IDoH> I hope you think more about science, ScientificAlan.
[19:24] <SigmaWP> Hi Finnegan
[19:25] <ScientificAlan> If a Fluffernutter is a sandwich, can I eat her?
[19:25] <Finnegan> greetings, greek letter
[19:25] <Finnegan> and no
...
[19:25] <ScientificAlan> :c
[19:25] <T13|sleeps> Fluffy, does that ever get old?
[19:25] <ScientificAlan> You pinned the frown on the creeper right there... XD
[19:25] <T13|sleeps> :p
[19:25] <Finnegan> it got old right about the first time
[19:26] <FastLizard4> Can we ban ScientificAlan from the universe for TMI>??
[19:26] <T13|sleeps> ScientificAlan focuses on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_Sci ... 0;film&#41;
[19:26] <ScientificAlan> Like, I can't go eating random admins?
[19:26] <ScientificAlan> And what's that?

[19:26] <FastLizard4> T13|sleeps: hehe
[19:27] <T13|sleeps> I'm old enough to remember that movie, and thought it was cool...
[19:27] <ToAruShiroiNeko> FastLizard4 if a group of civilians kidnap a person and police doesnt bother searching for it, AND if no one hears it. Does it still make a sound?
[19:27] <FastLizard4> ToAruShiroiNeko: Of course not :D
[19:27] <Finnegan> you're all bonkers
[19:27] * FastLizard4 bonkers finn
[19:27] <SigmaWP> FastLizard4: If someone comes out as a socialist in the US, does he make a sound?
[19:27] <FastLizard4> o_O
[19:27] * FastLizard4 bonkers finneg
[19:27] <FastLizard4> Hmm
[19:27] <FastLizard4> I think my tab complete is broken
[19:27] <ScientificAlan> Lol
[19:28] <ScientificAlan> Finnegan is how you type it, I think. Unless Fluffy spelled it wrong.
[19:28] <ScientificAlan> Which I doubt
[19:28] <ToAruShiroiNeko> FastLizard4 it seems like http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbaros_%C5%9Eansal was taken away by a group of civilians
[19:29] <ToAruShiroiNeko> his name was added among a group of people on a hitlist on twitter
[19:29] <FastLizard4> Hmm
[19:29] <IDoH> Oh, Finnegan is Fluffernutter
[19:29] <ToAruShiroiNeko> can someone pinch me that this is a holywood movie?
[19:29] <IDoH> ?
[19:29] <T13|sleeps> Yes ido
[19:29] <ScientificAlan> You do? I think you sent that to the wrong person. ;)
[19:30] <ScientificAlan> Send that to your girlfriend... XD
[19:30] <Amgine> ToAruShiroNeko: holywould
[19:30] <T13|sleeps> Blah...
[19:30] <ScientificAlan> And it's Hollywood
[19:30] <ScientificAlan> :P
[19:30] <Amgine> So sure are you...
[19:30] <ScientificAlan> ?
[19:30] <ScientificAlan> What?
[19:31] <Amgine> [[wikt:pun]]
[19:31] <SigmaWP> FastLizard4: I shall take that as a no :(
[19:31] <ScientificAlan> Oh, and I forgot to mention, I'm not bonkers
[19:31] <ScientificAlan> I was tested
...
[19:31] <ScientificAlan> Hi
[19:32] <ScientificAlan> Oh god, you came here, and the first thing you see is "I was tested"... O.O
[19:32] <ScientificAlan> That must seem weird
[19:32] <ScientificAlan> I was typing about not being bonkers
[19:32] <ToAruShiroiNeko> FastLizard4 and the list is https://twitter.com/barbarossansal/stat ... 28/photo/1
[19:33] <ScientificAlan> Peachey, are you peachey?

[19:33] <ScientificAlan> What do you taste like?
[19:34] * ScientificAlan bites peachey|laptop
[19:34] <T13|sleeps> ScientificAlan: I give you credit.
...
[19:35] <Swob> yeah go on assuming everyone with a fruity nickname is female
[19:35] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Swob no such thing as males on the internet
[19:35] <ToAruShiroiNeko> everyone is female
[19:35] <ToAruShiroiNeko> real men dont use internet
[19:35] <T13|sleeps> That's a know sure fail with most women... Yet you persist.
[19:36] <ToAruShiroiNeko> macho men only eat ice cream
[19:36] <Amgine> besides, all laptops taste like chicken.
...
[19:36] <ScientificAlan> Lol
[19:37] <ScientificAlan> Laptops taste like... fluoride toothpaste... o.O
[19:37] <Amgine> I yield to your expertise in the matter.
[19:37] <IDoH> Didn't know you had pica, ScientificAlan
[19:38] <T13|sleeps> Real men wear pink tutus, drink from straws, and tell other men how pretty they are.
...
[19:38] <Swob> right
[19:38] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Amgine you lick laptops?
[19:38] <Swob> i do say t13 you look very nice tonight
[19:38] <ToAruShiroiNeko> T13|sleeps really?
[19:38] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I should do that then.
[19:39] <T13|sleeps> ToAruShiroiNeko: there are worse things to lick.
[19:39] <ToAruShiroiNeko> like ass.
[19:39] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Donkeys dont taste good probably
[19:40] <T13|sleeps> Some things even an IRC bot won't lick, like IDoH...
[19:40] <IDoH> Ha!
[19:40] <ScientificAlan> Oh, I would lick IDoH
[19:40] <Swob> we know
[19:40] <ScientificAlan> XD
[19:40] <IDoH> Lick laptops, ScientificAlan
[19:40] <Swob> alan ♥ idoh for evah
[19:40] * ScientificAlan licks IDoH's lips
[19:41] * ScientificAlan kisses IDoH
[19:41] * IDoH pushes ScientificAlan away
[19:41] * T13|sleeps feels ill...
[19:41] <Swob> tjeres no way youre anywhere near this outgoing in person
[19:41] <ScientificAlan> Lol
[19:41] <SigmaWP> Or maybe he just gets slapped a lot
[19:42] <ScientificAlan> Not too long ago, I surprised a girl by hugging her from behind
...
[19:43] <ScientificAlan> It was yesterday, at a Starbucks
[19:43] <ScientificAlan> I hugged her from behind, then she noticed it was me
...
[19:43] <ScientificAlan> She thought I was one of her friends... XD
...
[19:43] <T13|sleeps> How wrong she was...
...
[19:44] <ToAruShiroiNeko> ScientificAlan there is a governor in the south that mastered the arts
[19:44] <Amgine> ToAruShiroNeko: no, I was extrapolating from the general truism that everythin tastes a bit like chicken.
[19:44] <ScientificAlan> Well, actually, I'm technically her friend
[19:44] <T13|sleeps> But only on MySpace because she felt bad...
[19:44] * Jasper_Deng is now known as Jasper_Deng_away
[19:44] <ToAruShiroiNeko> oh
[19:44] <ScientificAlan> She really just thought I was a different friend
[19:44] <ToAruShiroiNeko> mayor Bob Filner
[19:45] <ScientificAlan> And no, I stalk her on Facebook
[19:45] <ScientificAlan> She doesn
[19:45] <ScientificAlan> *doesn't know yet
[19:45] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Amgine I believe mythbusters tried that
[19:45] <T13|sleeps> See, you're doibg it wrong...
[19:45] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Why would anyone want to abduct a fasion designer at midnight?
[19:45] <ScientificAlan> ?
[19:45] <T13|sleeps> All the cool kids use MySpace...
[19:45] <ScientificAlan> Lol
[19:45] <Amgine> agh.
[19:46] <ScientificAlan> That info is outdated
[19:46] <Amgine> also, [[wikt:irony]]
[19:46] <ToAruShiroiNeko> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... rtrait.jpg <- how can you NOT trust him?
[19:47] * T13|sleeps yawns...
[19:47] <IDoH> ToAruShiroiNeko: that guy looks like a creep!
[19:48] <ToAruShiroiNeko> IDoH he gropes women casually
[19:48] <IDoH> Unsurprising
[19:48] <Swob> whaaat
[19:48] <Swob> the eyes
[19:48] <Amgine> "she felt bad"
[19:49] <ToAruShiroiNeko> http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colber ... bob-filner
[19:49] <Swob> minor nitpick though, ToAruShiroiNeko, southern California is not "the South"
[19:49] <Amgine> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDGuvcGsOts <- sarcasm
[19:50] <Swob> the South begins somewhere around Dallas Texas and goes eastward to the Atlantic
[19:50] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Swob its south of the country :p
[19:51] <LtNOWIS> South means Southeast
...
[19:51] <Swob> the US census defines it as this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Us_south_census.png
[19:51] <LtNOWIS> That's due to history
[19:51] <Swob> which is a bit of an exaggeration, e.g. I dont think people in El Paso Texas consider themselves Southerners, but they cant divide states when defining census regions
[19:52] <T13|sleeps> I live in the north...
[19:52] <ScientificAlan> I live in the middle east.
[19:52] <ScientificAlan> XD
[19:52] <LtNOWIS> Yeah maryland and delaware aren't southern either
[19:53] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I am fascinated how you are taling about semantics when the mayor probably groped a dozen more women in the meanwhile
[19:53] <Amgine> Northern charm and souther efficiency.
[19:53] <Amgine> n
[19:53] <T13|sleeps> Only a dozen?
[19:53] <T13|sleeps> Sliw night in the mansion?
[19:53] <ToAruShiroiNeko> T13|sleeps he is capped by the amount of women he can get to...
[19:53] <Swob> better map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_o ... nition.png
[19:55] <Swob> some regions are easier to define than otehrs
[19:56] <ToAruShiroiNeko> like magnets of same poles he repells most women
[19:56] <ToAruShiroiNeko> so he needs to run really fast
...
[19:58] <LtNOWIS> I don't have a mayor
[19:58] <ScientificAlan> I need to go now
[19:58] <ScientificAlan> Good night
[19:58] <T13|sleeps> Bye kid..
[19:59] <SigmaWP> I think he's going to try picking someone up
[19:59] <ScientificAlan> ?
[19:59] <ScientificAlan> What do you mean?
[19:59] <T13|sleeps> His mom?
I've seen way worse nonsense on the en IRC channel. Come to think of it, those nonsense presents a major problem as if I'm not mistaken some of the worst violators are not even close to legal age and its rather recent 2012 - early 2013. I don't think I have logs however (chatzilla doesn't keep logs as far as I know), I might have a few from mIRC however, anyways some of it are in wikipedialogs I'm sure. Interesting tidbit from the other day that I found on that website.

For lack of a particularly better thread to put it in, a 2009 discussion about ArbCom potentially overseeing IRC. I like this part in particular:
Prodego wrote: What does this have to do with the ArbCom. ArbCom has no authority on IRC, the only authority is held by User:Sean Whitton and User:Jdforrester, and beyond that the WMF board. The idea that ArbCom could create some sort of 'IRC patroller' is ridiculous. Any such position would have to be created by the channels themselves, or, alternatively Sean and James.

Yes, but in the end it wouldn't be an encyclopedia. It would be a wiki. -- WardCunningham (Jan 2001)

15:27 < Qcoder00> half-doxed?
15:27 < Ryulong> he posted my first name
15:27 -!- OnceACaptain [~SuPreme@ppp-27-55-43-112.revip3.asianet.co.th] has quit [Quit: Leaving]
15:28 < Qcoder00> OK, but hardly criminal...
15:28 < Ryulong> and some identifying information when I was still undergrad
15:28 < Qcoder00> But still over 18 right?
15:28 < Ryulong> yeah
15:28 < evilgohan2> What country are you located in
15:28 < evilgohan2> and what country is the offending party located in?
15:28 < Ryulong> I do not know where this guy is
15:29 < Qcoder00> Did you ask the service provider for their IP?
15:29 < evilgohan2> Is it their own site, or a third party website?
15:29 < Ryulong> I reported the post and got nothing out of it
15:29 < evilgohan2> i.e.: Is it their own personal site, or a social network (i.e.: A forum, blog, etc.)
15:30 < Ryulong> Twitter
15:30 < evilgohan2> Even better...
15:30 < evilgohan2> Twitter is terrible about removal of things: even harrassment
15:30 < Ryulong> We've checked the account, and it is not in violation of Twitter's private information policy (https://support.twitter.com/articles/20169991). The account will not be suspended at this time.
15:31 < Qcoder00> Hah...
15:31 < Qcoder00> ;(
15:31 < Qcoder00> evilgohan2: Doesn't California have a strong anti-stalking law?
15:32 < evilgohan2> California tends to be rather liberal when it comes to Privacy lawd
15:32 < evilgohan2> laws*
15:32 < Ryulong> oh
15:32 < evilgohan2> and has some of the strongest in the nation
15:32 < Ryulong> this is Eric Barbour's twitter
15:32 < evilgohan2> IANAL: But, I have some questions.
15:32 < evilgohan2> Has this person outed your identity?
15:32 < evilgohan2> In full.
15:33 < evilgohan2> As in to the point that someone could feasibly discover who you were from this and act upon that information to find you.
15:33 < Ryulong> I doubt my surname is that common where I am at the moment
15:34 < Ryulong> 00:57, August 16, 2009 Lar (talk | contribs) blocked EricBarbour (talk | contribs) (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of indefinite (Unacceptable edit in which an apparent outing was done)
15:34 < Ryulong> oh
15:34 < evilgohan2> Asking because I do have a suggestion, but I want to make sure I fully understand the situation before I make it
15:34 -!- TB|Cloud [sid7833@wikimedia/tbloemink] has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity]
15:35 -!- Aranda56 [~chatzilla@wikimedia/secret] has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
15:35 < Ryulong> Considering my first name has been posted at Wikipedia Review and this guy posted my surname it is possible
15:35 < evilgohan2> has this person made any threats to you, your person, or any of your family that could be taken seriously
15:35 < Ryulong> no
15:36 < evilgohan2> Has this person been harrassing you in any form or manner (including but not limited to: Stalking, Calling, Messaging (solicited or unsolicited) etc.)
15:37 < Ryulong> no
15:37 < evilgohan2> Hmm. Okay, I asked these because - if the above was the case - you could file a police report which would require Twitter to act.
15:38 < evilgohan2> However, as it is not, that's likely to not be a viable avenue.
15:42 < Qcoder00> Has the Barbour outed other people with an ideological focus in such outings?

I already know where you live, where you go to school, and various other details, plus photos of you, arrogant little chode.
And thanks for verifying that Tarantino and I have got the right guy.

Actually, the above-quoted log shows "Ryulong" to be denying that you have actually stalked or otherwise harassed him. He's just upset that you figured out what his real name is because you are "deep in wikipedocracy shit."

No offence, but if you know that many details of someone you've never met, you are a bit of a stalker. If somebody knew that sort of info about me I'd certainly be concerned.

I think that the policy is that it's OK if it's someone people don't like.

"Where you live, go to school, photos..." Ryulong says where he lives and goes to school on his userpage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ryulong). As for photos, you can get those commonly on Twitter, if not from tweeted pictures, then the avatar picture itself. I don't know what "various other details" include, but I'd hesitate to apply the word "stalk" to anything I read in this thread.

On the other hand, the IRC transcript appears to show that Ryulong made the overtly hostile move of complaining to Twitter that Eric was following him, and trying to get Eric's Twitter account eliminated. Doesn't Twitter have a personal "block" function? Ryulong could have just blocked him from reading his tweets, or perhaps said "please don't follow me." Eric has a right to be aggravated that Ryulong tried to cost him his Twitter account. Ryulong's move probably would've worked on Wikipedia though.

This site does not have policy at all on the subject of 'outing' or opposition research. Eric's attitude (correct me if I'm wrong, EB) is that if you are a dick to enough people, you don't get to hide behind a mask of anonymity.

Sounds fair enough to me. You live by the sword...

I'm talking about Eric's assumed attitude, when I say "fair enough", not the smart-arsed precursor statement about "someone people don't like" - although, in fairness, you will get a bit of that sort of thing everywhere, people being people, as they are.

I usually find if I like different people it's just easiest to play in a different playground - assuming of course one hasn't run out of playgrounds - that can happen if you're a big enough dick to enough people in enough places, I've heard...

Here's the point: Stop being a dick to helpless people before we have to get medieval on your ass.
