(Old stuff cleared out.)

Please don't remove other people's messages from here, even if they are just being mean to me or complaining about something stupid. Yes, you're probably right that I don't need to see all that, but my concern is just that I might overlook something that ends up being important later.  :-)

Misplaced Pages:Importance

Hi Jimmy. I've quoted you at a proposed policy I've originated, Misplaced Pages:Importance, an amendment/clarification of Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not. I'd really appreciate any criticism or contribution. ··gracefool | 04:28, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

It sounds more or less reasonable to me. I'm sorry if that's not helpful, but I'm afraid that at this time I have no original insights to offer. It does make sense to clarify things, but it's really up to others to figure out how exactly we want to do that. I think your work here is valuable in that regard.

Your visit to Geneva

Hi Jimmy, I read on the UNCTAD website that you will participate in an expert meeting on open source in Geneva on 24 september. I guess this meeting is not open to the public? I hope that you'll also have some time to meet some of the swiss (and french) wikipedians. Nando (de:Benutzer:Napa) told me that he had written you about that, so I'm just saying that we'd appreciate to hear from your plans... --stw (Talk) 10:31, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

On my meta userpage is my schedule. I'm going to start keeping my public talk and wikipedia meeting schedule there so that people can co-ordinate meetings. Not much information about Geneva yet, but of course I say "yes" to a meeting. Jimbo Wales 11:21, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Btw, do you speak/understand french or german? --stw (Talk) 21:13, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

No, I only understand English. But I have a high tolerance to sit politely and smile in a friendly way if people are talking around me in a different language. No one should hesitate to come just because they don't speak English. Jimbo Wales 21:45, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hello

Would you know any wikipedian Communists? I can't find any here--Gustuv 01:26, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I don't personally know of anyone who self-describes as a Communist, other than Plato. Not too many communists left in the world, you know. Jimbo Wales 21:45, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)
