====I'm learning German==== |
|||
I like getting simple messages from people in [[German language|German]], but unfortunately I'm not quite ready yet to conduct real conversations in German. I think that I will feel brave enough to promote myself from de-1 to de-2 by the time of Christmas. We shall see. |
|||
====My name in other languages==== |
|||
You see, Wikipedia is not only a marvelous project — it is also a marvelous interlingual project. For those who speak languages other than English, here's [[James|my name]] translated or transliterated [[User:Jimbo Wales/In many languages...|to many languages...]] |
|||
Hello you, speaking any language different from those in the above page — just pop in, and write your own!! |

Really, you can! Please feel free! |

This is my user page. I like to keep it a certain way. But, the thing is, I trust you. I trust that you'll add something here that makes me smile<!-- TANSTAAFL and DLTBGYD -->, 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 will come along and make it look perfect. See that link up there '<span class="plainlinks">[{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|action=edit}} edit this page]</span>'? Go for it. It's a wiki world! – Jimbo |
