There is, I fear, a common rumor
That this group has no sense of humor
We test this out each April first
Which some think the best day, and others, the worst
For Wikipedians of all ranks
On this day launch their jokes and pranks
On the main page, through RfAs,
And in all sorts of other ways

Multiple administrators on Wikipedia had their account access blocked on April 1 for pulling pranks which other members of the community did not find funny (enough). As part of the uproar, Newyorkbrad, one of the members of Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee (sort of the WP Supreme Court) wrote a wonderful poem about the situation. Passing it along for those who enjoy following wiki-culture.

BTW, I don't think I blogged about it at the time, but as of December 2007, I too am now one of the 1500-odd Wikipedia admins. Took three tries, and the last two of them were both on the list of the most controversial noms in Wikipedia history, but I finally squeaked in. :)
