[WikiEN-l] Jimmy Wales in the news

[White Cat]

Yea imagine that... The internet is an excellent invention to run smear
campaigns this is EXACTLY why [[WP:BLP]] was drafted.

I do not know nor care if Jimbo edited his bio, there is nothing banning him
from doing so regardless. What made people think Jimbo is not allowed to
edit the article on him? It is not like Jimbo was involved in a political
scandal he is trying to cover up.

If Jimbo is really wasting foundation money, he is doing a very poor job.
When I saw him he was wearing a wikia t-shirt  and not something remotely
expensive. He was also not juggling $300 worth wine bottles.

Fund management is the duty of foundation people and I do believe they spend
plenty of stressful time to balance the budget that historically had never
hit the foundation target. I'd imagine they would be the first people to
lynch Jimbo if he wastes a penny.
