More quotes by Jimmy Wales
What you don't get in the mainstream media is so much of the background material.
Jimmy Wales
I'm very much an Enlightenment kind of guy.
Jimmy Wales
I think it's a mistake to treat different realms of knowledge as if they are some how fundamentally the same.
Jimmy Wales
I can't do anything quietly anymore.
Jimmy Wales
To me the key thing is getting it right. And if a person's really smart and they're doing fantastic work I don't care if they're a high school kid or a Harvard professor, it's the work that matters.
Jimmy Wales
We are growing from a cheerful small town where everyone waves off their front porch to the subway of New York City where everyone rushes by. How do you preserve the culture that has worked so well?
Jimmy Wales
When you consider the magnitude of how many people use Wikipedia globally, there is a potential here for really creating some noise and getting some attention in the U.S.
Jimmy Wales
The core of Wikipedia is something people really believe in. That is too valuable for the world to screw it up.
Jimmy Wales
I have always liked the idea of going to print because a big part of what we are about is to disseminate knowledge throughout the world and not just to people who have broadband.
Jimmy Wales
You shouldn't use anything as the sole source for anything, in my view.
Jimmy Wales
The goal is to give people a free encyclopedia to every person in the world, in their own language. Not just in a 'free beer' kind of way, but also in the free speech kind of way.
Jimmy Wales
Wikipedia is first and foremost an effort to create and distribute a free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language. Asking whether the community comes before or after this goal is really asking the wrong question: the entire purpose of the community is precisely this goal.
Jimmy Wales
The more time I spent on the site the more I came to think of Wales as some kind of Queen Ant, letting the vast colony go about its work, at the centre of a system where the knowledge of the community is infinitely larger than the sum of experience of all its individuals.
Jimmy Wales
I don't worry. It's just not in my nature, really.
Jimmy Wales
I spent lots of time reading the encyclopedia and really kind of an eclectic approach to learning things - not very structured.
Jimmy Wales
If you see a blatant error or misconception about yourself, you really want to set it straight.
Jimmy Wales
Most people assume the fights are going to be the left versus the right, but it always is the reasonable versus the jerks.
Jimmy Wales
People do fun and interesting things because they're fun and interesting.
Jimmy Wales
I worry about censorship in many parts of the world.
Jimmy Wales
I have my team focused on the front end, working on the user experience, and making sure we have all the wiki-like tools people need to work on the site. We're just cranking away.
