Does WMF track public comments like those anywhere?

Might be interesting to be able to pull that for a public report, OpEd, or campaign in the future. Or perhaps some interesting memes around WP15.

I just love this response: 

Wikipedia will always be my best mentor, winning an argument with solid and reliable facts might have been a good way to use it, but Wikipedia taught me far beyond that, sciences and philosophies, arts and mythologies, without Wikipedia there wouldn't be me sitting here. Thank you, Wikipedia! Salute to the spirit of spreading knowledge without differences!

It's a common theme, every year or so there are a couple articles people write about using wikipedia to settle their trivia bets etc (similar to helping them pass their exams). Back in the day I've even had a Twitter conversation about it with people who were doing a trivia quiz.

Tldr: yeah think it'll be fun :)

Should we post this question on our Facebook page? In a recent video experiment it seemed to resonate with people.

Have you ever used Wikipedia to settle a bet or resolve an argument? Did you win?

What do you think?
