A centijimbo (cJ, pronounced "Centi-Jimbo" /ˈsɛntɪˌdʒɪmboʊ/ ) is a unit of measurement used for comparing the number of watchers a particular user has.[note 1] The term was coined by Durova in a blog post on September 10, 2009, shortly after the creation of a tool by MZMcBride that counts the number of people who watch a particular page.[note 2]
The centijimbo is 1/100th the number of watchers that User:Jimbo Wales has. As of October 2024,[update] a centijimbo currently equals approximately 41.15 watchers, but as a relative measurement, this changes as people add and drop watchlist pages.
One may use the template {{User:Audacity/centijimbo|# of people watching your userpage}} to display one's ranking in terms of centijimbos. Users who develop an obsession with checking their number of watchers may suffer from centijimboitis.
From here we can obviously see that:
- One MILLIJIMBO is 1/1000th of the number of watchers that User:Jimbo Wales has. (4.115)
- One CENTIJIMBO is 1/100th of the number of watchers that User:Jimbo Wales has. (41.15)
- One DECIJIMBO is 1/10th of the number of watchers that User:Jimbo Wales has. (411.5)
- One JIMBO is the number of watchers that User:Jimbo Wales has. (4115)
Thus, by definition, the user page of our founder Jimmy Wales always has 1 JIMBO or 100 cJ.
As of September 2024,[update] this page has about 2.92 cJ.
