	Talk:Wikipedia - SourceWatch
		"Wales wrote on one occassion that anyone he has investigated who was critical of his administrators "turned out to be a complete and total ass." But he maintains polite and thoughtful users, even those prohibited from on-line discussions,are welcome to join mailing lists to comment on policy.
		Wales' comment that "in nearly all practical cases that I've investigated, I always find that the complainer is a compelte and total ass".
		The reason the total ass anecdote seems instructive to me is that Wales' appears to routinely blame those he deems trolls or unwanted users as the cause of problems, and fails to develop dialogue about systematic flaws in administrators approach.

		WALES: Well, I‘m — from very early on when we started it, it was — I conceived of it as, you know, 2001 it was still kind of the tail end of the dot-com era and I wanted to try something and I thought at the time that it could be for profit.
		WALES: Well, there are within the community there are various social processes so we have — you know, for the deletion there‘s a page — it used to be called votes for deletion but we just changed the name of it the other day and that‘s sort of in flux.
		WALES: we were talking about this — I was talking about the benevolent dictator model and I don‘t want to leave the impression that that‘s our model because what I was going to say is I don‘t feel it‘s appropriate for any one person to be the dictator of all human knowledge.

	Response to Jimbo Wales on Anarchy
		What is wrong with Jimbo's argument as given is that it assumes that I (or my representative) must choose between the legal rules "existing gas companies can shut down new competitors" and "existing gas companies cannot shut down new competitors." If that were the choice, his argument would be correct.
		Jimbo is describing an outcome, not a mechanism for producing it.
		And I believe that if Jimbo checks the chapter (or possibly one of the next few), he will find explicit mention of the possibility that government might be legitimate, along with a brief comment (I think citing Spooner's argument) to the effect that I don't myself believe it is.

		It is so full of ideas that it is hard for the average user to find reliable sources of information, let alone a friendly online community they feel they can trust.
		Ten years ago people thought the web could be a form of open, democratic public sphere, an informal gathering place for people to exchange ideas and freely express themselves without coercion.
		It is more about trusting that humans can respect someone else's opinion in a democratic public sphere, and that contributors will not ruin the fun for everyone else.

	Meatball Wiki: MeatballServer
		I would suggest that Meatball remain independent of Wales for a number of reasons, and would be willing to offer a degree of financial support in furtherance of that recommendation.
		To be candid, Wales' server situation is, well, a disaster at the present time and has been for almost a year.
		With MeatBall hosted by Wales, the idea that so much of the Wiki community could end up with a single point of failure, both hardware-wise and management-wise, does not sit well.

		A wealthy options trader named Jimmy “Jimbo” Wales set out in 2001 to create a massive, free, on-line, community-built encyclopedia with an unprecedented assortment of human knowledge that would be available to every person on the planet.
		The story, by Daniel H. Pink, also presents an interesting account of what he calls humankind’s age-old urge to “tame the jungle of knowledge and display it in a zoo of friendly facts.”First came the “one smart guy” model.
		Wales explains in an interview with Nature writer Roxanne Khamsi, http://www.nature.com/news/2005/050314/full/050314-17.html that he initially founded Newpedia, a very academic, top-down project, but found that approach that didn’t work with volunteer contributors.

		Some things seem to be missing from the transcript, though, such as Wales’s boast that “we’re big enough now that I could call the New York Times and get on the front page” if someone like Microsoft ever went after them.
		After the talk, I follow Wales to his car and chat with him a little.

		And the blog, which stated it was run by Bomis, offered analysis by 13 commentators representing a common political theme, one of whom advocated political rape at a time when national dialogue was focused on the sexual abuse of wartime prisoners.
		I can speak from personal experience with Wales and wikipedia, they are not nearly as interested in accuracy as they are in getting a polished product to package and sell to the highest (Disney) bidder.
		The admins there run in packs, any time one of them finds something they want drowned off the pages, they alert the other admins who all stand in line to revert it one after another until they goad people into getting nasty with them.

		Jimbo also likes to muse on how the web can be used by a "Chinese dissident operating secretly from within China to rally pro-democracy, pro-freedom support overseas".
		Well that dissident isn't going to have much luck with the US government, which gives most favored nation trading status to China despite the protests of American labor and the dissidents which he is apparently speak of.
