	Jimmy Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wales has said that the school was expensive for his family, but that education was regarded as important.
		Wales was the first person listed in the "Scientists and Thinkers" section of the May 8, 2006 special edition of Time ("The lives and ideas of the world's most influential people"), listing 100 influential people.

	Jimmy Wales - Wikipedia
		Wales is also founder of the for-profit company Wikia, which is legally unrelated to Wikimedia, within which he co-founded the Wikicities project.
		After eighth grade, Wales went to Randolph School, a college prep school, which was and is an early adopter of computer labs and other technology for direct student use.
		Wales went on to become a futures and options trader in Chicago, and within a few years had earned enough to "support himself and his wife for the rest of their lives."

	The Yourdon Report » Blog Archive » A modest proposal: Jimmy Wales for Nobel Peace Prize (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Wales also talked about Campaigns Wikia, a fairly bold initiative to apply the “wiki”; concept to political campaigns — which I, as a typical myopic American, assumed would be focused on U.S. politics, but is already covering such things as elections in Sao Tome, the Seychelle Islands, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
		Wales’ objective is to improve the political discourse (and if it led to the demise of paid TV political ads, so much the better!), and to generate a healthy dialogue and mutual understanding of the issues associated with any political campaign.
		Wales said that their existing policies to protect existing articles during waves of “vandalism” tended to be excessive (e.g., by “locking” certain articles to prevent further modifications), and that some form of “semi-protection” was better.

	Concurring Opinions: Wikipedia Irony: Jimmy Wales Edits His Own Entry
		In an interview with Wired News, Wales acknowledged he's made changes to his bio, but said the edits were made to correct factual errors and provide a more rounded version of events.
		Jimmy Wales (and anyone else, for that matter) cannot know himself objectively.
		It would seem to be more honest for Wales to just edit himself (and for people to see that he, in fact, was the one editing), than for him to get some friend or employee to do it for him.

	Q & A
		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.

	Jimmy Wales - Dead - MediaWiki Forums
		Apparently, the assassin was a "friend" of the victim of a recent controversy which ironically, smeared former Robert F Kennedy aid John Seigenthaler as a suspect in the assassination of both Kennedy brothers.
		Before his "death", Jimmy Wales had become a familiar sight on cable TV news, usually vowing to "tighten up" the project's editing processes in response to the public scandal that had broken that week.
		The Times noted that after the first Seigenthaler scandal broke, the now "deceased" Jimmy Wales had, as he has so often, promised to tighten up a few nuts and bolts in the "encyclopedia's" editorial processes.

	TIME.com: Jimmy Wales -- May 8, 2006 -- Page 1
		That such a remarkably open-door policy has resulted in the biggest (and perhaps best) encyclopedia in the world is a testament to the vision of one man, Jimmy Wales.
		Wales, 39, is a former options trader who in 1999 set out to reinvent the encyclopedia for the Internet age—free, up-to-date and available to all.
		So Wales created a free-form companion site based on a little-known software program called a wiki (the Hawaiian term means quick) that makes it easy—with the "edit this page" button—to enter and track changes to Web pages.

		He may well be right: Evidence from Pew finds that at least 48 million Americans are web-based content creators while Technorati's Top 100 shows that at least 13 of the top 100 focus primarily on politics.
