User talk:Jimbo Wales/Archive B

(Old stuff cleared out.)

Note: If you've come here to complain about the sysops, or to tell me that I'm a tyrant, you'll likely find your purposes better served by a note to the wikien-l mailing list.

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.  :-)

I am a new user, I would like very much to help with the maintenence of WIkipedia. Please tell me how. Also, is it possible for a 'sign in user' to protect their user page? Please reply, either by my talk page or by emailing me. Thanks,--Wikipolice 06:26, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Comrade Jimbo, I never once considered you a Tyrant, I just questioned your prerogative powers, that is all. Also somebody is bothering me on AOL Instant Messenger claiming to be you, however i know it's not you based on ISP tracing. Also with the Wikien-1 mailing list i don't understand how it works, however, if you need speak you know the address. Thank you Comrade Wales! Comrade Nick

How can you go to Europe without going to Greece, the intellectual and spiritual home of everything an encyclopaedia stands for? Adam 05:52, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Sigh, you're right, you're right. I regret very much all the things that I will not see on this trip, but time is limited. I wish that I could make it on this trip to Spain and France as well.
I'm working to try to secure a University position of some sort in Europe for the following year, either for a summer or for an academic year, because I think it would be great for me to make Europe my headquarters for an extended period of time, and then have time to really co-ordinate with a lot of people in a lot of countries. So, I have great hope for extended visits in 2005-2006. Jimbo Wales 13:40, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)


Jimbo I live and work in London. If you get a chance for much sightseeing, check out the London Eye, the queues are long but the wait is worth it, you get fantastic views. Buckingham palace is a con IMO not worth the entance fee but the tower of London is well worth a visit if you get the chance. Drop me a note if there's anything I can help you with.theresa knott 18:00, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I think the bigger question is when are you coming to visit California? The Bay Area is much nicer than Europe... we have far more Krispy Kremes than they do. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 19:16, Apr 15, 2004 (UTC)
Not a killer selling point as Jimbo will be staying close to Harrods, which is helping Krispy Kremes give away their donuts by the box at the moment in preparation for their big UK (or is it Europe) expansion starting this, umm, June!
More seriously, as another liver-and-workerer-in-London, I also keen to make sure you come away with favourable impression of the city.. so again if you need a help with anything just fire away... one thing I strongly recommend is walking over Waterloo Bridge at sunset. The view still gives me a kick every time, as apparently it did The Kinks who immortalized it with the line "As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset I am in Paradise".

Great Idea Dante!, but L.A. would be a little better town (i got people there) and i know Rick lives there (even though i know both him and Jimbo don't want to see me because they hate my guts, i want to see them!!!). Comrade Nick
You fantasize about your own importance when you imagine that I hate your guts. I actually have no particular opinion about you at all, except that you like to post lame comments on my talk page. Jimbo Wales 03:27, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Frankly, Mr. Wales I think of myself as the 'godking' of wikipedia, I told you im manic depressive, at times i think of myself highly, and at other times I hate myself (ask my friends if you ever met them, they all know im 'odd.' I post "lame comments," because I told you I am the 'gadfly' of wikipedia, I just question your abilties, that's all Mr.Wales. (also post any comments on my talk page, because nobody likes me :-( . Comrade Nick
Mr. Wales, I added you to My Heros List. Comrade Nick
