The file is 9 seconds long and he said "Hello, my name is Jimmy Wales. I was born in Huntsville, Alabama, in the United States and I have been founder of Wikipedia since 2001." Should this be removed because, if such free file exist, the editors wouldn't want to include it in infobox about other founders? Also the file is redundant because all information in the file already exist in the lead. [[User:Hddty.|Hddty.]] ([[User talk:Hddty.|talk]]) 03:40, 12 August 2018 (UTC) |

Why is this only a B-Class Article?
Seriously, he's the founder of this site. Why is his article not one of the best? I'm so confused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMitochondriaBoi (talk • contribs) 17:25, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
- Maybe because he is only the co-founder? Not really sure. --Malerooster (talk) 17:28, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
Or maybe all the dumb jokes about him. ThePRoGaMErGD (talk) 19:58, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
Internet's only non-billionaire
What about Larry Sanger? QuackGuru (talk) 20:29, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
- There's no way to verify whether Sanger is a billionaire, given the confidential nature of his royalties agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. MW131tester (talk) 20:58, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
Jimmy Wales' voice in infobox
The file is 9 seconds long and he said "Hello, my name is Jimmy Wales. I was born in Huntsville, Alabama, in the United States and I have been founder of Wikipedia since 2001." Should this be removed because, if such free file exist, the editors wouldn't want to include it in infobox about other founders? Also the file is redundant because all information in the file already exist in the lead. Hddty. (talk) 03:40, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
