Twitter.com has a new feature that allows you to disclose the location from which your tweet is twittering.
It looks like Jimbo Wales tried out the feature on a recent post. Now, when you learn where his location was, it might strike you as a bit funny -- indeed, it may even make you twitter. Jimbo doesn't like people giggling at him, so it's possible he will exercise his right to...

You may delete all location information from your past tweets. This may take up to 30 minutes.
Therefore, we have helped to keep free information open and free, posting Jimbo's self-disclosed location here for posterity.
Apart from the somewhat unsightly water tower, that's a rather nice trailer park, even by Florida's high standards for trailer parks! You're living the life, Jimbo, aren't you? We're glad you've landed on your feet after Christine kicked you out of the old house. I wonder if you're on a rent-to-own contract?
By the way, just to test how accurate is this Twitter geo-location feature, I gave it a try, and it properly pegged me to my correct township location, despite living quite close to its southern boundary.

This is like the 1,000th Jimmy Wales-related topic you've started. I can't decide if you're bored, obsessed, creepy, or some combination of the three. I'm considering staging an intervention.

um, since this is a Wikipedia Criticism site...and Jimbo has something to do with Wikipedia...I would think that this is pretty much on topic....and living in a trailer park kinda goes against the "rock star" lifestyle that the media likes to grant to Mr. Wales.

How about you do an actual count of all the topics I've started here at WR, then you count all that are Jimmy Wales-related, and then we'll assess whether or not I need a "WR intervention" or a "Jimmy Wales-related on WR intervention"?

I'm pretty sure there are parts of Dunedin which aren't in a trailer park. (Residential parts, that is - I know there's the stadium there where the Blue Jays play their spring training.)
I'm also pretty sure there are rock stars that have a trailer park as their "sole residence". After all, if you're a rock star, you're pretty much a transient anyway.

Okay, this totally invites the question of whether he actually LIVES there, or just happens to be sleeping with a trailer-trashperson at the moment. Might be visiting dear old mom, for all we know.

Damn right. "Slumming", outside of urban areas, generally involves trailer parks. Many trailer parks offer broadband wifi these days.

Only one way to find out. Watch eBay auctions.
No, no, that's for the fine Canadian tail. The trailer sort, just shoot you. We'll have to watch COPS, or American Justice. However, I believe it's the case that women who shoot people don't get their own BLPs if they're in any way related to WMF. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ermm.gif)

You'd think Jimbo would want his mom to live in a highly individualistic and bold architectural statement of some sort, surely?
Well, surely he also wants to maintain some sort of connection to "the little people". Wouldn't surprise me one bit if he parked his mom in a trailer to get some "street cred".
After all, I can't imagine his mom was all too thrilled with the porn search thing, and we all know how well he treats people who disagree with him.

Or because he is a mean b'tard who knows about how to give back to people as little as possible (nothing) who made him (mothers and Wikipedia contributors) ... May be his ex-wife's published opinion is more to the point.
Hold on ... this is the guy that makes five figured speaking fees ($x0,000) and you are saying his mom lives in a trailer park? Does she know what her son does? Can this confirmed? The whole area is Google mapped so you can take a drive around.
Meanwhile ... over at Hunch.com where Jimmy of Dunedin, FL is a board director, he is worth 27,065 banjos for his 22 contributions (certainly more banjos than Greg too). He tells us that he "Supports curiosity and innovation in the child" ... which probably explains why he is so keen to have his educational Encyclopedia to be filled full of amateur porn and pederastry.

I arrive at Wales' house on a gray, humid day in December. It's 11 a.m., and after wrapping up some emails on his white Mac iBook, Wales proposes lunch. We hit the mean streets of Gulf Coast Florida in the Hyundai, in search of "this really great Indian place that's part of a motel," and wind up cruising for hours-stopping at Starbucks, hitting the mall, and generally duplicating the average day of millions of suburban teenagers.
Despite his modest digs, Wales is an Internet rock star .. Asked about the secret to Wikipedia's success, Wales says simply, "We make the Internet not suck." ...
Wales characterizes the dispute with Sanger as a fight over the "project's radically open nature" and the question of "whether there was a role for an editor in chief" in the new project. Sanger says he wanted to implement the "common-sense" rules that "experts and specialists should be given some particular respect when writing in their areas of expertise." ...
They also differed over whether advertising should be permitted on the site. Not only does Wikipedia allow anyone to write or edit any article, but the site contains no ads.
Wikipedia's other major scandal hasn't been quite as easy for Wales to laugh off, because he was the culprit. In 2005 he was caught with his hand on the edit button, taking advantage of Wikipedia's open editing policy to remove Larry Sanger from the encyclopedia's official history of itself.
Wikipedia's decision not to censor its content selectively in order to meet the demands of the Chinese government was easy, since it would be almost impossible to do anyway.
Daughter Kira stands in front of a board, wearing a dirndl and reciting facts about Germany. Asked where she did her research, she cops to using Wikipedia for part of the project.
Wales smiles sheepishly; the Wikipedia revolution has penetrated even his own small bungalow.

Actually, this topic was very old news ... good article. It looks like it was the family bungalow before the split. Not a trailer.
You're decidedly wrong about this, Cock-up.
The bungalow was 3911 Harrisburg Street, former headquarters mailing address of the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wales manor. They sold that on December 18, 2007. There is no earthly reason why Jimbo would be tweeting recently from that location, and then having Twitter mark it as Golden Acres, some 23 miles away from the old homestead.

Pointing to a data set he feels could benefit from less transparency, Wales discussed Florida property records, which are now required to be posted online, allowing everyone to see how much people paid for their homes.
While he agrees these records should be available to the public, Wales said in the past such information was available to people who went to a courthouse to actively seek it, but "it's a different animal" when it's up on the Internet.
"Information that was previously legally public was a lot of work to go and get it," he said. "I would say some of the things we thought of as OK to be public in past we may not want to be public anymore."

I would say this is simply the paper trail from when Jimmy and Christine sold their house at 3911 Harrisburg Street (post separation, presumably) to Abdul Karipodi and Jazbeen Mahmood. Then the mortgage was cleared through the bank and (probably) another bank that was doing the servicing.
According to Zillow.com, Jimbo purchased the home in June 2002 for $180,000, then after five years in the home listed it for sale for $264,000 on Veterans Day 2007. After 5 weeks on the market, Jimbo and Christine settled for an offer of $230,000 by Abdul and Jazbeen. Jimbo then had his affair with Rachel in February of 2008.

When Jimbo sold the old house he bought another one, but that house was vested into a trust so that they could conceal his address from public records.
It's fairly clear that Jimmy's attitude on public records is that they're great for everyone else but he, personally, needs to be kept out of them. It's fairly obvious that Jimmy ascribes to the Heinleinian notion that rules and laws are for ordinary people only, and that extraordinary people like himself should not be required to follow them. I find his comments on the sex offender registry especially curious; I've never heard even the slightest rumor to suggest that any of the many women he's had affairs with over the years were anything but of legal age.

Heinleinian Coventry! A trip to an isolated place where everybody is just like him. Before that, we're stuck with eye-for-an-eye.
And no, eye-for-eye doesn't make the whole world blind. Just the sons-of-bitches.

I rarely enjoy Mr McBride's jabs at Greg.
I didn't know that MZMcBride made regular jabs. I was under the impression that MZM made some sort of ballsy defense of Thekohser on Wikipedia, which led to something or another. Details hazy in my mind.
Anyhow, I would stop (just) short of calling it "creepy," but this obsession is certainly Thekohser's least attractive feature on Wikipedia Review.
