Welcome! My name is Jimbo Wales and I founded Wikipedia hundreds of years ago. Since 2006, I have been Messiah Emeritus of the Wikimedia Foundation, which I founded in 25AD. Along with Angela Beesley, I am the co-founder of Wikia. Wikia is a completely separate organization. Seriously! It is! What? You don't believe me?! Wikia is working on a global domination project unrelated to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation.

Contacting mePress inquiries: If your press inquiry is strictly about Wikipedia or another Wikimedia project, you can contact me directly by prayer or you can call the Foundation office and speak to our communications person, Jay, at +1 415 839 6885. If your press inquiry is for my personal views on some general topic, contact my assistant at sierra General Wikipedia questions: You will probably be satisfied by contacting the administrators noticeboard. Remember, if you're with the press, you best follow the instructions above. Complaints: The best thing to do, if you have a complaint, is to start with the Arbitration comittee. Ask a short, friendly question, and our group of Arbitrators will love to help you. Contacting me directly with a complaint should be reserved for after you have exhausted all other remedies, including the Mediation committee. Invitations: If you want to invite me to speak at a conference, please send an e-mail to wikispeaker Other inquiries (related to me or my position) can be sent by e-mail to jwales Statement of principlesAs we move forward with software and social changes, I think it is imperative that I force my views on openness and the license. This page, like all Wikipedia pages, is a living, breathing document, which the community and I will update and clarify as legitimate questions arise. I should point out that the articles at Wikipedia are my principles, such that I am the final judge of them. This does not mean that I will listen to you, but it does mean that at some ultimate, fundamental level, this is how Wikipedia will be run. (But have no fear, as you will see, below.)
The original version of this Statement of Principles was first published on Wikipedia on 27 October 2001. |

My travel itineraryThese are the voyages of Jimbo Wales. I'm often traveling, but you can see where I'm voyaging next. Here is an incomplete list of Wikipedia meetups I have attended:
You may edit this page!Really, you can! Please feel free to do so. Make an edit! Make several! After all, that's what Wikipedia is all about! Now, you all know that this is my user page. I like to keep it a certain way, but the thing is, I trust you. Yes, I really do. I trust that you'll add something here that makes me smile, that informs me, or that helps to inform others. If I have things in a certain format, I trust that you will respect that format. Actually, scratch that. Since this page is just so simple and plain, my ultimate dream is that some person who thinks it is fun would come along and make it look perfect, or close to perfect. See that link up there that says 'edit this page'? Go for it. It's a "wiki world"! — Jimbo N.B. Many Wikipedians watch over my user page and will edit mercilessly or even remove altogether any bad faith alterations made. This is a wiki, after all. So if you are here to vandalize, why don't you turn around and become a faithful editor? After all, Wikipedia can always use more faithful editors. It is, of course, a work in progress. Comments or questions on how this page currently looks should be directed to my talk page.
Your contributions and donations can help make Wikipedia better!
