Perhaps you can explain what the world at large,
the Wikipedia
community and I personally gain from publicly pursuing it.
It has in the past caused problems with our [[Wikipedia]] article and
Jimbo's past attempts to distort the record did cause unnecessary
conflict within wikipedia.
In summation: Larry says Jimmy is a self-serving liar, and presents
(IMO) compelling evidence of the same.
The question then is:
1) Does Wikipedia/WMF care? and
2) Should Wikipedia/WMF care?
Well, perhaps not:
*unless its articles reflect something other than reality. (We are
committed to NPOV)
*or unless Jimmy were abusing his position within WMF and the community
to push his POV, or distort Wikipedia for his own benefit. (If the
leader/exemplar were engaging in POV-pushing and COI meet puppetry, that
should concern us!)
Is he?
I don't know.
Are these IRC transcripts accurate? The source is questionable, but as a
minor participant in one of the discussions, it does seem to tally with
my (admittedly fuzzy) memories.
