I can't do anything quietly anymore.
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
I tend to eat things in fours. I'll eat four nuts, four grapes, four chips at a time. I don't know why. It's not really a superstition. I don't think anything bad will happen if I don't, but three potato chips doesn't seem right.
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
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
My being some kind of celebrity - not a real celebrity, isn't a welcome part of the job.
Jimmy Wales
I'm not real good at the administrative part of running a company.
Jimmy Wales
IAR is policy, always has been.
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. During one of the US elections, I actually went through my computer and I blocked myself from looking at the major newspaper sites and Google News because I wasn't getting any work done.
Jimmy Wales
Wikipedia is the #5 site on the Web and serves 450 million different people every month - with billions of page views.
Jimmy Wales
I worry about censorship in many parts of the world.
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
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
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.
