Sung to the tune of "Hotel California" by The Eagles.

On an unattended article,
Foul words in the diff,
Two high-school editors,
Getting into a tiff.

Up ahead in the hist'ry,
I saw a frightening sight,
The edit summary said "ha, take that",
As they posted their addresses that night.

There I sat on IRC,
I watched the tale unfold,
And I was thinking to myself,
"This bullshit is getting old!"

So I used the oversight stalkword,
And they all saved the day,
Admins were arguing in-channel,
And I watched them say,

Welcome to the Hotel Oversighter,
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), we stop those who deface.
Plenty of room at the Hotel Oversighter,
Any time of year (any time of year), we make it disappear...

Some people definitely twisted,
They put on-wiki,
They got a lot of potty, potty mouths,
They think that they're tricky.

How they screw with the content,
Outing each other's lives,
Some troll for the lulz, but,
Some have motives contrived.

So I called up an admin,
"Please, ban all these trolls..."
He said, "I haven't had that user-right...
...since 2009".

And still those admins are arguing on IRC,
Pinging you in the middle of the night, just to hear their plea:

Welcome to the Hotel Oversighter,
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), we stop those who deface.
Plenty of room at the Hotel Oversighter,
Any time of year (any time of year), we make it disappear...
