If Jimmy does things like these, which he is obviously *allowed* to
do, IMO he should make very clear that he is speaking as an
individual, and not as a representative of the WMF or as a
spokesperson for Wikipedia, and, in case he has the possibility, have
them explicitly state in the final piece that he is speaking as
himself, and is only representing his own opinions, before giving
permission for publication.
