As to the politics of all this, you gave the

is that as the #wikipedia is the "mother of all" wikipedia channels there is
a need for some coordination. It has been sufficiently argued that this was
a shambles and you going on a holiday at the moment when this happened made
it seem to be only more arbitrary. Then yes, I know how these things go...
things creep up on you.

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. I was simply
hoping to get the users of #wikipedia talking about this, because the
introduction of the guidelines etc. was too unilateral from the start,
which doesn't wash well in a situation where no one really has much
authority to begin with.

Why do you think they fail to see #wikipedia as a central place? Is it
too English Wikipedia-focused? Not welcoming enough to speakers of
languages other than English? Too off-topic or lewd?
