IRC/Quotes
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 on bugzilla.
[edit] Adding quotes
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] How to make a fortune cookie jar
- 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=IRC/Quotes&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
[edit] Quotes
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).

<Ottava> "North American Indians often used burning as a form of execution, either against members
of other tribes or against white settlers during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Roasting over a slow fire was a customary method.[7]"
<Ottava> I guess that doesn't really help Cimon's case.
<cimon> Ottava: actually the fact that there were established protocols to deal with how precisely
the burning was to be executed (a bag of black powder under your chin, if you were a sincere
heretic, rather than a trolling heretic), tells me there were quite a few.
<Ottava> There were established protocols to deal with ghost attacks.
<Ottava> Doesn't mean they were used regularly.

irresistable. ;)
<Pathoschild> ...except, apparently, it is.
<Shanel> I'm sure you'll prepare an impassioned speech on looking past our
differences and working together to build a perfect encyclopedia.
<Pathoschild> {{done}}
<Pathoschild> I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the
difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream
deeply rooted in the Wiki dream. I have a dream that one day this wiki will
rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "The free encyclopedia
that anyone can edit". I have a dream that one day on the red hills of
ArbCom the sons of former editors and the sons of former editor
administrators will be able to sit down at the table of brotherhood.
<The_Thing> O_o
<Shanel> XD
<Pathoschild> I have a dream that one day even the wiki of English, a wiki
sweltering with the heat of arguments, sweltering with the heat of
bannings, will be transformed into an oasis of editing and lazing.
<Shanel> lol
<Pathoschild> I have a dream that my little children will one day edit on a
wiki where they will not be judged by the minorness of their edits but by
the content of their contributions.
<Pathoschild> I have a dream tonight.
* Shanel demands someone save this beautiful oratory for future generations. :'(
* Prodego assassinates Pathoschild
<Shanel> O_O
<Pathoschild> I have a dream that one day, down in Wikipedia, with its vicious
trolls, with its arbcom having his lips dripping with the words of blocking
and banning; one day right there in Wikipedia, little minor editors will be
able to join hands with little self-blocking administrators as sisters and
brothers.
* Pathoschild dies.
<Shanel> Continue your speech first.
<Pathoschild> o_o
<Pathoschild> Yes ma'am. :O
<Pathoschild> I have a dream today.
<Prodego> that's true, I'm not supposed to do that until after you finish
<Pathoschild> I have a dream that one day every article shall be exalted, every
talk and Wikipedia page shall be made low, the contentious issues will be
made plain, and the unresolved arguments will be made solved, and the
consensus of the Community shall be revealed, and all monitors shall see it
together.
* Shanel wails dramatically
<Pathoschild> And when this happens, when we allow editing to ring, when we let
it ring from every talk page and every article, from every wiki and every
wiki farm, we will be able to speed up that day when all of
Jimbo (and Larry)'s children, minor editors and self-blocking admins,
ArbComs and Cabalmen, Stewards and Trolls, will be able to join hands and
sing in the words of the old Wiki spiritual, "Wiki way! wiki way! thank the
Community Almight, it's the wiki way!"
* Pathoschild dies.
* Shanel arrests Prodego.
* Prodego confesses, escapes, is recaptured, and dies of hepatitis C.

from being an asshole.
<tommorris> 3. Made a decision to turn over one's will to the care of an
administrator.
<tommorris> 4. Admitted how much of an asshole we are to the admin.
<tommorris> 5. Provided admin with a full list of diffs of us being an
asshole.
<tommorris> 6. Agree to have admin prevent these defects of character from
surfacing again.
<tommorris> 7. Humbly ask admin to block our sorry asses.
<tommorris> 8. Make a list of all the newbies we've bitten.
<tommorris> 9. Give newbies WikiLove.
<tommorris> 10. Continue to realise that one may continue being an asshole and
try to pre-emptively tell admin to block you before asshole traits come
out.
<tommorris> 11. Sought absolution through generous donation to the Wikimedia
Foundation.
<tommorris> 12. Had spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, and
decided to spend the rest of one's life answering OTRS questions from
