More quotes by Jimmy Wales
A huge amount of what goes on in the Middle East has to do with people being fed really bad information.
Jimmy Wales
The Supreme Court has held that code is speech. And it doesn't matter that it's done on a computer or done face to face or done in a newspaper, reporting the facts of the world is protected speech.

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
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
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
Wikis and social networking are just tools.
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
Simply having rules does not change the things that people want to do. You have to change incentive.
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
It turns out a lot of people don't get it. Wikipedia is like rock'n'roll it's a cultural shift.
Jimmy Wales
One of the ways that Microsoft beat Apple way back in the day was that they were a lot more open today, in the world I come from, the free software and open-source world, Microsoft is not generally viewed as open they're viewed as proprietary.
Jimmy Wales
People do fun and interesting things because they're fun and interesting.
