Notable quotes

“Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.”
— As quoted in "Wikimedia Founder Jimmy Wales Responds," by Robin "Roblimo" Miller, Slashdot (28 July 2004)
“Wiki editing thrives on local knowledge, but 'local' in an epistemological sense, not necessarily in a geographical sense. For example, I personally know a lot more about world news on topics that interest me and could synthesize much better in those areas, than I know about local politicians where I live”
— Interview with Jimbo Wales (10 December 2005)
“I regard it as a pseudonym and I don’t really have a problem with it.”
— On controversy regarding fraudulent claims of credentials by the Wikipedian Essjay, in an e-mail to editors of The New Yorker, as quoted in The New York Times (5 March 2007)
“I have said this many times in the past and will say it many times in the future I am sure: some people need to find a different hobby, because whatever they are here for, it is not to help build an encyclopedia.”
— Comment about "drama mongers" on the Wikipedia Administrator's noticeboard, (23 November 2007)
“What we won't do is pretend that the work of lunatic charlatans is the equivalent of "true scientific discourse." It isn't.”
— Boingboing.net, Jimmy Wales tells "energy workers" that Wikipedia won't publish woo, "the work of lunatic charlatans isn't the equivalent of 'true scientific discourse'"
“education was always a passion in my household ... you know, the very traditional approach to knowledge and learning and establishing that as a base for a good life.”
— Jimmy Wales
