talking about the same thing. How do I go about proposing a merge?
<foks>	Ummm
<foks>	I don't really know, actually!

<foks>	I would ask at ANI, probably, since you will need an admin
<Pine>	Aren't YOU an admin?

continued...
<omtsh> Welcome to #cvn-sw drama, with your host, Mathonius!
<hoo> mhm, I think it's a problem with that input conversion script
<Mathonius> Marvel Comics represents... Hoo Man!
<omtsh> XD

can manually tag the page?
<omtsh>	Find out after the break!
<Mathonius> whahaha :D

<Dcoetzee> I just saw this food container in the kitchen labelled "Cheese" in bad 
handwriting but I thought it said Obama and I thought maybe my roommates 
assassinated and were cannibalizing him.
%
<WilliamH_UK> when I hear "Ironholds is moving to Wales", my mind actually hears 
"Ironholds is adding Wales to his global itinerary of apology".
%
<+Ironholds> [redacted]: the cabal sent me. Wassup?
<+MartijnH> did someone order the cabal?
<+MartijnH> is there anyone not in the cabal these days?
<+SigmaWP> tommorris: No
[later...]
<+Earwig> I have no idea what just happened.
<+Earwig> shouldn't cabal members be informed?
<+tommorris> The cabal is pleased.
<+Ironholds> Earwig: the cabal knows. THE CABAL KNOWS ALL.
<+tommorris> There is no cabal.
<+tommorris> Over and out.
<+tommorris> Earwig: [redacted] is a blocked user who was blocked for various things, 
and in the process alleged that all the admins were secretly engaged in cabal behaviour.
<+tommorris> We just wanted to show him that this was not true.
<+Earwig> ah.
<+WilliamH_UK> seems legit
<+WilliamH_UK> i'm entirely convinced
<+tommorris> anyway, on behalf of the cabal that doesn't exist, I'd like to 
apologise for newbies seeking actual help. our bizarre situationist stunts help 
keep Wikipedia awesome. Ta-ra!
<+MartijnH> this entire conversation consisted solely of weather balloons.
Nothing suspicious here. Keep calm and carry on.

(this day, news reports in the US were full of stories about the 
US Supreme Court finding the "Obamacare" healthcare plan constitutional)
<varnent> hmm..let me ponder that - do we have any other "policies" posted on 
the wm2012 site?
<Pharos> can we have a cupcake policy?
<Fluffernutter> cupcakes for all!
<Dmcdevit> Stroopwafel policy! :-)
<varnent> free cupcakes for all?
<Pharos> Item one on the Wikimania Bill of Rights
<Fluffernutter> socialized cupcakes!
<varnent> and Jimbo came down from the mountaintop and said "let my people 
have cupcakes"
<Pharos> I hope ArbCom finds this constitutional

Thomas Dalton replied to a thread on the wikimedia-l email list about 
Wikimedia sites being offline, "Wikipedia is down for me. I suggest we swarm 
on to IRC in large numbers - that always helps!"

* nickanc thinks we have always kind and gentle stewards
<PeterSymonds> That's because you don't know them.
<closedmouth> he only says that to avoid the beatings
%
<The_Blade> As much as I get they badly need reform, it's really not helpful 
to apply the *most* stringent application of BLP imaginable and call anyone 
who dares disagree with you part of the "Keep 20 images of blurry penises 
cabal"
%
<Fluffernutter> some days I think it's too bad that we don't block for "I'm 
sorry, our crazy quotient is too high as it is, you'll put us over the legal 
limit"
%
<ObsidianSoul> i used to play "house" (more like "tribe" though) with my 
cousins as a kid. we'd be hunter gatherers. and we'd catch snails and small 
fish and gather plants for "resources". we actually drank the unfortunate 
results one time. :x

<Chris_G> MBisanz, you're missing the point; it's like fight club, they've 
gotta wait for 3 months without any comments or encouragement
<Chris_G> and if they can do that
<Chris_G> then we approve them
