IRC is hardly a credible medium, and individuals frequently show up on
various channels and make up things for whatever reason. "Trolling"
is but one name for it. I suggest if it happens again, you look for
one of the channel contacts and get more information. For example, a
list of people with access to the #wikimedia channel can be found by
typing:

/msg ChanServ access #wikimedia list


Admittedly, if you're a conspiracy theorist, it's reasonable to assume
that whoever responds is part of the conspiracy...
