Took me long enough to find it! And it wasn't what I thought it was. No deletionism or inclusionism jokes there.
Maybe you were thinking of the sinister Deletionist Cabal in _Wikipedia The Movie_? https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/User:Raul654/Wikipedia_the_Mo...
No, but that was funny, especially the comment from number 7. Thank you!
It was good that there was a spoof of the LotR movies in the next scene:
"There may come a day when the strength of wikipedia fails, but it is not this day! A day when wiki becomes piki, and Pikmin conquer wikipedia, but it is not this day! This day we fight! Remember what you are fighting for: the random article, the wikiprojects, the featured content, and the use of square brackets everywhere!"
At least I think it was a spoof of Aragorn's speech at the Black Gate in the third LotR movie. That was itself probably a homage to something else, so it might be a spoof of that hypothetical original.

PS. OMG, I just scrolled up to the top and saw the movie poster of Jimbo!
