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.

More quotes by Jimmy Wales
People are not fundamentally bad. It only takes the smallest of correctives to take care of that tiny minority that wants to disrupt the community.
Jimmy Wales
Freedom, liberty, individual rights, that idea of dealing with other people in a matter that is not initiating force against them, is critical to me.
Jimmy Wales

It turns out a lot of people don't get it. Wikipedia is like rock'n'roll it's a cultural shift.
Jimmy Wales
I'm on it pretty much all the time. I edit Wikipedia every day, I'm on Facebook, I'm on Twitter, I'm reading the news.

Jimmy Wales
Wikis and social networking are just tools.
Jimmy Wales
I'm very much an Enlightenment kind of guy.
Jimmy Wales
Ideally, our rules should be formed in such a fashion that an ordinary helpful kind thoughtful person doesn't really even need to know the rules. You just get to work, do something fun, and nobody hassles you as long as you are being thoughtful and kind.
Jimmy Wales
My being some kind of celebrity - not a real celebrity, isn't a welcome part of the job.
Jimmy Wales
If you see a blatant error or misconception about yourself, you really want to set it straight.
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
I don't worry. It's just not in my nature, really.
Jimmy Wales
Things work well when a group of people know each other, and things break down when it's a bunch of random people interacting.
Jimmy Wales
People who have achieved a public voice find it a mixed bag.
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.
