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.

Yes, I have been learning German for 20 years. Its not hard. Hi! I'm Jimmy WalesHallo! Welcome! My name is Jimmy Wales, and I was born in the wonderful city of Huntsville, Alabama. I founded Wikipedia in 2001. Since 2006, I have been Chair Emeritus of the Wikimedia Foundation, which I founded in 2003. Along with Angela Beesley, I am the co-founder of Wikia. Wikia is a completely separate organization, working on a search engine project unrelated to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation.

This page, like all Wikipedia pages, is a living, dynamic document, which the community and I will update and clarify as legitimate questions arise. I should point out that these are my principles, such that I am the final judge of them. This does not mean that I will not 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.
