He is also founder of the for-profit company [[Wikia, Inc.]] |
|||
In May 2006, Wales was named one of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine's 100 Most Influential People.<ref name=influence>{{cite news|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1187286,00.html|title=Jimmy Wales: The (Proud) Amateur Who Created Wikipedia|date=[[2006-05-08]]|accessdate=2006-04-30|last=Anderson|first=Chris}}</ref> |
|||
==Personal life and education== |
|||
Wales was born in [[Huntsville, Alabama]]. His father was a [[grocery store]] manager, while his mother, Doris, and grandmother, Erma, ran a small [[private school]], "in the tradition of the [[one-room school|one-room schoolhouse]],"<ref name="qanda">{{cite web|title= Q&A: Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia founder|author=[[Brian Lamb|Lamb, Brian]]|url=http://qanda.org/Transcript/?ProgramID=1042|work=[[C-SPAN]]|date= September 25, 2005|accessdate=2006-07-11}}</ref> where Wales was educated. There were four children in his grade most of the time, so the school grouped together first through fourth grades, and fifth through eighth grades. |
|||
A 2005 ''Time'' magazine article incorrectly reported that Wales was [[Homeschooling|homeschooled]].<ref name="qanda"/><ref>{{cite news|title=It's a Wiki, Wiki World|author=Taylor, Chris|publisher=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1066904-3,00.html|accessdate=2005-05-29}}</ref> Strictly speaking he was not, but he did note that his schooling experience was "in a sense similar",<ref name="qanda"/> since his mother and grandmother were his primary teachers. The school's philosophy of education was significantly influenced by the [[Montessori method]], and students had a fair amount of freedom to study whatever they liked. Wales has said that he spent many hours poring over the ''[[World Book|World Book Encyclopedia]]'' during this time.<ref name="newsweek1">{{cite news| url=http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6298340| title=It's Like a Blog, But It's a Wiki| first=Brad| last=Stone| publisher=[[Newsweek]]| date=[[2004-11-01]]| accessdate=2006-05-20}}</ref> |
|||
Currently, Wales works and lives in [[St. Petersburg, Florida]].<ref> LaMonica, Martin. "Newsmaker:Open-Sourcing the News." ''CNET.com News'' January 7, 2005. Retrieved [[August 21]], [[2006]] from http://news.com.com/Open-sourcing+the+news/2008-1025_3-5515166.html. </ref> |
|||
===Preparatory school and university=== |
|||
After eighth grade, Wales attended [[Randolph School]], a [[university-preparatory school|college prep school]], which was an early supporter of computer labs and other technology for student use. Wales has said that the school was expensive for his family, but that education was regarded as important. "Education was always a passion in my household … you know, the very traditional approach to knowledge and learning and establishing that as a base for a good life."<ref name="qanda"/> He received his [[Bachelor's degree]] in [[finance]] from [[Auburn University]] and started with the [[Doctor of Philosophy|Ph.D.]] finance programs at the [[University of Alabama]] that he left with a [[Master's degree|Master's]] in finance.<ref name="qanda"/> After that, he took courses offered in the Ph.D. finance program at [[Indiana University Bloomington|Indiana University]]. He taught at both universities during his postgraduate studies, but did not write the [[Thesis|doctoral dissertation]] required to earn a Ph.D.<ref name="qanda"/> |
|||
==Career== |
|||
[[Image:Jimbo-wales---fosdem-2005.jpg|thumb|right|Jimmy Wales speaking at [[FOSDEM]] 2005]] |
|||
In 1994, Wales went on to become the Research Director at [[Chicago Options Associates]], a [[futures contract|futures]] and [[stock option|options]] [[stock trader|trader]] in [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago]] which he did for six years.<ref name="qanda"/><ref>{{cite web |author=Wikimedia Foundation Inc. | title = Board of Trustees | url = http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Board_of_Trustees | accessdate = 2006-07-15}}</ref> In 1996, he founded a search portal called [[Bomis]], which also sold adult content until mid-2005. He was asked in a September 2005 [[C-SPAN]] interview about his previous involvement with what the interviewer, [[Brian Lamb]], called "dirty pictures". In response, Wales described Bomis as a "guy-oriented search engine", with a market similar to [[Maxim magazine]].<ref name="qanda"/> In an interview with ''[[Wired News]]'', he also explained that he disputed the categorization of Bomis content as "soft-core pornography": "If [[MPAA film rating system|R-rated]] movies are [[softcore|porn]], it was porn. In other words, no, it was not."<ref>{{cite web|first=Evan|last=Hansen|title=Wikipedia Founder Looks Out for Number 1|url=http://www.wirednews.com/news/culture/0,1284,69880,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_2|accessdate=2006-07-14}}</ref>This assertion has been disputed but he is no longer actively involved in the company. |
|||
In March 2000, he started a peer-reviewed, open-content encyclopedia, [[Nupedia|Nupedia.com]] ("the free encyclopedia"), and hired [[Larry Sanger]] to be its editor-in-chief.<ref name="qanda"/> While Wales was CEO, Bomis donated over [[United States dollar|US$]]100,000 (primarily through salaries and providing free Internet access) to [[Nupedia]] and [[Wikipedia]], and continued supporting them into 2002. |
|||
===Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation=== |
|||
[[Image:Jimbo-Frankfurt-skyline.jpeg|thumb|250px|left|Jimmy Wales on the Holbeinsteg bridge in [[Frankfurt|Frankfurt am Main]], [[Germany]], during a shooting break of a documentary film on Wikipedia created by French-German TV station [[arte]]]] |
|||
{{main|History of Wikipedia}} |
|||
Using a wiki to create an encyclopedia was publicly proposed by [[Larry Sanger]] on [[January 10]], [[2001]], and Wales worked on setting one up, starting it on [[January 15]], [[2001]]. Wikipedia was at that point a [[wiki]]-based site intended for collaboration on early encyclopedic content for submission to [[Nupedia]] for peer review, but Wikipedia's rapid growth soon made it the dominant project and Nupedia was mothballed. Sanger was laid off from the project in 2002, posting a resignation on his Wikipedia user page.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Larry_Sanger|title=User Page|author=[[Larry Sanger|Sanger, Larry]]|accessdate=2006-04-12}}</ref> He has since criticized Wales's approach to the project,<ref>{{cite web|author=[[Larry Sanger|Sanger, Larry]]|title=Why Wikipedia Must Jettison Its Anti-Elitism|publisher=[[Kuro5hin]]|url=http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/12/30/142458/25|date=[[2004-12-31]]}}</ref> describing Wales as "decidedly anti-elitist". |
|||
Wales later took issue with this description in a C-SPAN interview,<ref name="qanda" /> describing himself as not anti-elitist but "perhaps anti-credentialist. To me the key thing is getting it right. And if a person's really smart and they're doing fantastic work, I don't care if they're a high school kid or a Harvard professor." |
|||
In mid-2003, Wales set up the [[Wikimedia Foundation]], a [[St. Petersburg, Florida]]-based [[non-profit organization]], to support Wikipedia and its younger sibling projects. He appointed himself and two business partners who are not active Wikipedians to the five-member board; the remaining two members are elected community representatives. This move relieved him and Bomis from the increasing financial burden of supporting Wikipedia while keeping his leadership position. |
|||
In 2004, Wales was quoted as saying that he had spent around US$500,000 on the establishment and operation of his Wiki projects. By the end of its February 2005 fund drive, the Wikimedia Foundation was supported entirely by grants and donations. Wales has become increasingly involved with promoting and speaking about its projects, and to this end, he travels to conferences and Wikimedia functions, such as "Wikimeets" and [[Wikimania]] (the Foundation's travel budget was US$25,000 in 2005 <ref>{{cite web|author=Wikimedia Foundation Inc.|url=http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Budget/2005|title=2005 Budget|accessdate=2006-04-12}}</ref>). In July 2006, he claimed that his net worth was less than one million dollars. On [[April 14]], [[2006]], he gave a talk at [[Stewart Brand]]'s LongNow Foundation entitled "Vision: Wikipedia and the Future of Free Culture," where he discussed the philosophical underpinnings of Wikipedia, his support for the [[Free Culture movement|Free Culture]] movement, and the difficulties the Wikimedia Foundation may confront as it grows in size. |
|||
In an interview with [[Slashdot]], Wales explained the purpose of Wikipedia by saying, "Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing."<ref>{{cite web|author=Wales, Jimmy|title="Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales Replies"| publisher=[[Slashdot]]|url=http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/07/28/1351230|date=[[2004-07-28]]|accessdate=2006-06-07}}</ref> In a December 2005 appeal for donations to Wikimedia, Wales explained his motivation for his Wikipedia work by saying "I'm doing this for the child in Africa."<ref>{{cite web|author=Wales, Jimmy|title="A Personal Appeal from Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales"|publisher=Wikimedia Foundation Inc.|url=http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Personal_Appeal|accessdate=2006-06-01}}</ref> |
|||
====Controversy==== |
|||
While [[Larry Sanger]] referred to himself as the co-founder of Wikipedia as early as January 2002,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_and_why_it_matters|author=[[Larry Sanger|Sanger, Larry]]|title=What Wikipedia is and why it matters|accessdate=2006-04-12 }}</ref> Wales says he has always called himself the sole founder of Wikipedia. The press frequently referred to Sanger and Wales as co-founders, but this began to change after Sanger's departure. For example, a 2004 ''[[Newsweek Magazine|Newsweek]]'' magazine article stated that "[Wales] created Wikipedia", without mentioning Sanger.<ref name="newsweek1" /> In 2006, Wales told the ''[[Boston Globe]]'' that "it's preposterous" to call Sanger the co-founder.<ref>{{cite web| first=Janet |last=Knott |title=Bias, sabotage haunt Wikipedia's free world| url=http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2006/02/12/bias_sabotage_haunt_wikipedias_free_world/?page=4| publisher=[[The Boston Globe]]| date=[[2006-02-12]]| accessdate=2006-04-12}}</ref> Sanger has strongly contested this assertion, claiming that, in addition to developing Wikipedia in its early phase, he also had the idea of applying the wiki concept to the building of a free encyclopedia. It is undisputed that he also coined the name of the project. He has said: "I remember very clearly the evening when I got the idea for Wikipedia." He nevertheless ascribed the broader idea to Wales: "To be clear, the idea of an open source, collaborative encyclopedia, open to contribution by ordinary people, was entirely Jimmy's, not mine, and the funding was entirely by Bomis. (…) The actual development of this encyclopedia was the task he gave me to work on."<ref>{{cite news|author=[[Larry Sanger|Sanger, Larry]]|title=The Early History of Nupedia and Wikipedia: A Memoir|publisher=[[Slashdot]]|url=http://features.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/04/18/164213|date=[[2005-04-18]]|accessdate=2005-04-18}}</ref> Wales has credited a Bomis employee named [[Jeremy Rosenfeld]] as the person who "initially came up with the idea to make the encyclopedia wiki-based."<ref>{{cite web|author=Wales, Jimmy||title=Edit to Wikipedia article "Jimmy Wales"|publisher=[[Wikipedia]]|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jimmy_Wales&diff=next&oldid=29849184|date=2005-12-02}}</ref> |

[[Image:Owningthefuture.jpg|thumb|340px|right|Jimmy Wales (first from left) at a session on Open Source, Open Access, at the [[Owning the Future]] conference held in New Delhi, August 24, 2006]] In late 2005, a related controversy arose regarding Wales and the Wikipedia entry on himself. After ''Wired'' Magazine picked up on work from [[Rogers Cadenhead]], Wales confirmed that he had (visibly and under his own name) edited his own biography on Wikipedia, a practice generally frowned upon within the Wikipedia community and even by Wales himself.<ref>{{cite web|author=Wales, Jimmy|title=Jimmy Wales response in "Daniel C. Boyer on wikipedia" thread|work=wikien-l mailing list|url=http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=wikien-l&m=105999934110753&w=2|date=[[2003-08-04]]|accessdate=2006-06-09}}</ref> |

Wales's edits<ref>Jimmy Wales' edits of [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jimmy_Wales&diff=next&oldid=26700530 28 October], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jimmy_Wales&diff=27799694&oldid=27799660 9 November], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jimmy_Wales&diff=29882276&oldid=29772366 2 December], 2005.</ref> were in line with his view that Larry Sanger should not be considered a co-founder of Wikipedia. When some other editors undid his edits, Wales repeated them twice. His edits changed specific references to Wikipedia's origins as well as the description of Bomis. Wales said in the ''Wired'' interview, "People shouldn't do it, including me. I wish I hadn't done it."<ref name="wirednews">{{cite web|author=Hansen, Evan|title=Wikipedia Founder Edits Own Bio|work=Wired News|publisher=Wired|url=http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,69880,00.html|accessdate=2006-02-14}}</ref> The article said: "Wales has also repeatedly revised the description of a search site he founded called Bomis, which included a section with adult photos called 'Bomis Babes'."<ref name="wirednews" /> |
|||
===Other activities=== |
|||
Inspired by the success of Wikipedia, Wales has founded the for-profit company [[Wikia, Inc.]] (separate from [[Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia]]), which hosts various wikis and manages the [[Wikia]] project. |
|||
He was appointed a fellow of the [[Berkman Center for Internet and Society]] at [[Harvard Law School]] in 2005. On [[October 3]], [[2005]], according to a press release,<ref>{{cite news|title=Wikipedia Founder Joins Socialtext Board|date=[[3 October]] [[2005]]|publisher=[[Socialtext]]|url=http://www.socialtext.com/weblog/051003wikiwales.html}}</ref> Wales joined the [[Board of Directors]] of [[Socialtext]], a provider of wiki technology to businesses. In 2006, he joined the Board of Directors of the non-profit organization [[Creative Commons]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Creative Commons Adds Two New Board Members|date=[[30 March]] [[2006]]|publisher=[[Creative Commons]]|url=http://creativecommons.org/press-releases/entry/5840}}</ref> |
