Jimbo commented back in 2006 that the two sites he visits every day are:

QUOTE
I have Firefox setup with 2 homepages: my Campaigns Wikia userpage, and my English Wikipedia userpage.


Here we are in the very heat of a US presidential election showdown, and take a look at the content on Campaigns Wikia lately.

Looks like the electoral calendar of Indonesia is the real "campaigns" hot-spot! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif)

Strange that Jimbo hasn't posted one electron of content to that site since September 22, 2006. He promised us in July 2006 that he was "wildly psyched about the campaigns wikia, so I plan to hang out here a LOT".

Funny how Jimbo could be "wildly psyched" about something, make it one of the two daily webpages he visits, then be completely DONE with it three months later.

What does this tell editors of Wikipedia about his long-term commitment to them?

Also, how telling was Jimbo's final edit to Campaigns Wikia:

QUOTE
:You are forgetting that this is a '''Campaign''' Wiki. The template allows people who campaign for and against us to add any information they have to the relevant category. You can't expect us to campaign for "paedophilia", because the majority of people will assume that we are campaigning to have sex with young children, which is not what this campaign is intended for.

::I have received no complaints about it, and I am not offended by anything. Check your premises. The point is, this is an extremely nonstandard term, and doesn't belong on the homepage. --[[User:Jimbo Wales|Jimbo Wales]] 09:21, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


Pro-pedophilia agents seem to infiltrate everything Jimbo's involved in!

He says on his user page that he wants people to edit it, but it usually is reverted and the editor blocked by Jimbo's right hand men.

Simply notify him that you're copying Jimbo's bio to Knol, under editorship of G. Kohs. World invited to edit. Promise you'll treat the thing as repectfully as ordinary BIOs are treated on WP, not those of the God-king. Tell him the bio of Mel Gibson on WP will be your model, so there's no chance of foul play or sniping. Appropriate subarticles as needed, just as with Mel. No vandalism allowed. He's welcome to comment, just as he would if he were a peon on WP.

And there you are. Tell him to enjoy. As the FULL story of Jimbo's life, sourced and documented, it will surely eventualy reach a page rank on google better than the tasteless WP product.
