"People who are trying to leave messages for me will likely be more satisfied if they leave messages on my user talk page than if they leave them here. This is the talk page for the article about me, not a place to talk to me. I rarely read this. --Jimbo Wales 06:05, 23 August 2005 (UTC)"

I heard that Larry Sanger was the only founder of wikipedia and that Jimmy didn't join for years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kus1234 (talkcontribs) 03:37, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Wasn't Larry Sanger the guy who faked the moon landing? Johnuniq (talk) 03:58, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Birthdate sentence

An editor put a sentence in the reference section. The sentence is not a reference. It is part of the article. The edit summary claimed combining birthdate cites. The sentence was not a cited reference. QuackGuru (talk) 20:16, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Awkward sentence

Many of the early contributors to the site were familiar with the idea of a free culture and, like Wales, some of them sympathized with the open-source movement.

This awkward sentence is still in the article. QuackGuru (talk) 20:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

?!?

Why does "Eat shit" redirect here? --116.14.26.124 (talk)

Vandalism. Thanks for the heads-up, I fixed it. :) --Ashenai (talk) 11:26, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
