You could allow stopping from irc to any with a wikipedia/ or wikimedia/
mask. I'm sure a wikipedian with mask can be easily found on irc. However
this restrict by irc "affiction". Some other bots use posting on their talk
page to be stopped (on detecting the "You have new messages"). But this
would allow to stop it to anybody...
