====<br>My name in other languages==== |

You see, Wikipedia is not only a marvelous project — it is also an interlingual marvelous project. For those who speak other languages than English, here's my [[James|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! |

My name is '''[[Jimmy Wales|Jimbo Wales]]''' and I am the founder and president of the [[Wikimedia Foundation]], the group which governs [[Wikipedia]]. |
|||
==Contacts== |
|||
'''Press Inquiries:''' Please leave a message with my assistant [[User:Danny|Danny]] in the [[United States|USA]] at +1 727 231 0101, and I will get back to you. Please use that number for press inquiries '''only'''! I am not joking about this. Other inquiries to that phone number will be ignored. |
|||
'''General Wikipedia Questions''' You will probably be joyful after you contact the [[Wikipedia:Help desk|help desk]]. Remember, if you're with the press, please call Danny at the number above. |
|||
'''Other Inquiries (related to me or my position)''' can be sent by e-mail to jwales at wikia dot com. (Press inquiries by e-mail are also always welcome.) To make sure I see your e-mail, the best way to slip it by my [[Spam (electronic)|spam]] [[Spam filter|filters]] is to mention Wikipedia in the subject or body of the e-mail. |
|||

==You may edit this page == |
|||
Really, you can! |
|||
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 so simple and ugly, my ultimate dream is that some person who thinks it is fun will come along and make it look as perfect as [[User:Angela|Angela's]] user page. 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 |
|||
Note that quite a few Wikipedians watch my user page and will edit mercilessly or even remove altogether any alterations made. This ''is'' a wiki, after all. |
|||
Comments on how this page currently looks should be directed to [[User_talk:Jimbo_Wales/Edits|this talk page]]. |
