Send it to the office, the staff are in right now.
That's true...part of the problem with being a global project is that not all of us are aware that there's an office or that the WMF even exists - and if we are, we may not be aware where it is or what time zone it is in, or what its office hours are.
I'm a bit surprised there was no response to this on IRC - has there been any yet?
#wikipedia-en collectively shrugged its shoulders when I tried to get more information, as has ANI. I'd like to contact the authorities myself, but I'm not an admin, and the critical information has reportedly been oversighted (!) already. I can't get a straight answer as to whether the police have been contacted yet
#wikipedia seems fairly clear that the police have been contacted. (stripping out excess material):
<Eliz81> ok, called second local police department <Eliz81> this time they just said "we'll take care of it" when i told them the IP address <Eliz81> the first one, i called the ISP, and he told me exactly what to tell the police, who turned around and called the ISP <Eliz81> so i knew the police were in touch with who they needed to be <Eliz81> geniice: you should've heard the first department though! when i was giving the IP, "WHAT?? That's not an address!" <Eliz81> geniice: "I've never heard of anything like this in my life. hang on a second." ... well, welcome to the world of internet, lady! <geniice> Eliz81 I haven't seen the notes wasn't a phone number given? <Eliz81> geniice for one, not the other, which didn't match the IP location, but nice, internet-competent second officer said he'd take care of it so i didn't need to contact the authorities again in regards to the number
