The far-reaching goal he sets in this answer is so awe inspiring that it should be the new tagline - Wikipedia, the psuedo-encyclopedia that is mostly pretty good (but be careful using it). QUOTE What would you tell to someone that comes in with this "I can't trust a source where everyone is able to make mistakes" prejudice so that he can start trusting a bit more in shared knowledge? Elevator-pitch would be nice (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) by k0001 I usually try to explain that, yes, Wikipedia is always a work in progress, that you do need to be careful with it, but that it is mostly pretty good and a great starting point.

I think it important not to give negative attention to people who have been disruptive, so I'd rather not name names. :-) You mean he evaded your question. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

I am available to answer any and all questions that come to your mind. This is working out quite nicely. I'll say!

Depends what you mean by "on" Wikipedia. Do you mean with an article about them? (Pandora Peaks) Or do you mean an active editor? (Raul654)

It didn't matter! He could either name names, or he could be an evasive coward. It's a win-win question! That's kind of an evasive response. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/dry.gif) Well, depending on how you define "want", I guess you could say that I "wanted" him to name my name. But, in a similar sense, I will "want" a turkey sandwich at some point in the next 30 days. Gosh you sure like turkey, don't you? (IMG: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3177/2799642335_0816a4f213.jpg) Gosh Jimbo hates the trailer park address, doesn't he? So much info, so few BLPs to put it in. But give it time.

QUOTE(Kelly Martin @ Tue 1st June 2010, 9:26pm) Formspring appears to be run out of Indianapolis. Has Jimmy been to Indy lately? The only reason that makes sense to me is that he signed up on the site to help them get more buzz ("As used by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales!"). I'd look to see where Formspring's money is coming from, except I'm not that great at that sort of thing; maybe one of you Internet junkies can figure it out. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) Formspring.me was founded by Ade Olonoh. He raised $2.5 million last year and moved to San Francisco this spring. Before founding the predecessor company formspring.com, Ade worked for the Indianapolis Star.
