Its important to remember that Wikipedia is Jimbo's website.
No, it is not "Jimbo's website"; please do not continue to spread this misinformation. And Jimmy is not Chair of the Board, Florence Devouard is.
And Jimbo has reserved a role as boss, including the power to make decrees like "this is unacceptable." While the overall Wikimedia duties have shifted away from Jimbo, he is still the public face of Wikipedia.
Stevertigo's comments were not spreading of misinformation - they were a poorly phrased and, on a single detail that has not been trumpeted that loudly (namely the shift of chairman), inaccurate. Please do assume good faith.
