Revision as of 23:25, 25 November 2007
Welcome! My name is Jimbo Wales and I founded Misplaced Pages 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. Wikia is working on a search engine project unrelated to Misplaced Pages and the Wikimedia Foundation. Talk · Statement of principles · Travel · Barnstars · Pictures · Funny pictures · Wikia · Contributions · All subpagesContacting mePress inquiries: If your press inquiry is strictly about Misplaced Pages or another Wikimedia project, you can contact me directly by e-mail or you can call the Foundation office and speak to our communications person Sandra, at +1 727 231 0101. If your press inquiry is for my personal views on some general topic, contact my assistant at sierrawikia.com. She knows how to find me as quickly as possible. If your press inquiry is about Wikia (a completely separate company from Wikimedia/Wikipedia, extending the Misplaced Pages social model to become "the rest of the library"), also contact Sierra at sierrawikia.com. General Misplaced Pages questions: You will probably be satisfied by contacting the help desk. Remember, if you're with the press, please follow the instructions above. Complaints: The best thing to do, if you have a complaint, is to start with the help desk. Ask a short, friendly question, and Wikipedians will love to help you. Contacting me directly with a complaint should be reserved for after you have exhausted all other remedies. Invitations: If you want to invite me to speak at a conference, please send an email to wikispeakergmail.com or call +1 847 380 1794. If you call this number with complaints about Misplaced Pages, they will not know what you are talking about, and you will not receive any help at all. Other inquiries (related to me or my position) can be sent by e-mail to jwaleswikia.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 filters is to mention Misplaced Pages in the subject or body of the e-mail. Statement of principlesAs we move forward with software and social changes, I think it is imperative that I state clearly and forcefully my views on openness and the license. This page, like all Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages will be run. (But have no fear, as you will see, below.)
The original version of this Statement of Principles was first published on Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages meetups (which are awesome!) I have attended:
You may edit this page!Really, you can! Please feel free to do so! Make an edit! After all, that's what Misplaced Pages 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. Comments or questions on how this page currently looks should be directed to my talk page.
