Please answer my previous question: you are really in
the position of
ruling all wikipedia-xx channels?
I thought I did answer that question, here:

People keep talking about this
"jurisdiction" thing. As I hope I've
made clear, I certainly don't subscribe to any such concept in
relation to #wikipedia, let alone other IRC channels.
In case that wasn't clear enough, I apologise. Let me put it this way:
I'm not in a position to "rule" any channels, especially ones like
#wikipedia-de which I so rarely visit. You might be confusing me with
JamesF and Seanw who are the Wikimedia contacts for Freenode, who do
broader stuff like you describe.

sane community, even not all, and I am afraid your claim for your
right of jurisdiction for wikipedia-* (it is a very strong assertion)
is too megalomaniac.
All we're talking about here is the single IRC channel #wikipedia,
nothing else. I simply invited (in my own kinda-human capacity) all
users of the #wikipedia-de etc. channels to talk about #wikipedia
because, in my view, it is a channel for all Wikipedias and all
languages, despite what some people would have. It's a big leap from
there to accusing me of megalomania and a bloodthirsty desire to
enslave the people of the French Wikipedia channel with new
guidelines.
