Jimmy Wales citáty
page 2

Jimmy Donal „Jimbo“ Wales je jeden zo zakladateľov Wikipédie, wiki nadšenec a internetový podnikateľ.

Wales vyštudoval na Auburnskej univerzite a University of Alabama. Pracoval ako obchodník s opciami a futures v Chicagu. Je obdivovateľom filozofie objektivizmu Ayn Randovej; na strednej škole prevádzkoval e-mailovú konferenciu nazvanú „Moderovaná diskusia objektivistickej filozofie“. V polovici 90. rokov založil Bomis, internetový portál zameraný na aspekty popkultúry, pomocou ktorého sa tiež predáva pôvodný tovar. Neskôr založil taktiež Wikia, wiki verziu internetového vyhľadávača, a Wikicities, voľný wiki webhosting.

Spolu s Larry Sangerom založil Wales Wikipediu, online encyklopédiu založenú na systéme wiki. Predtým spolu pracovali na dnes už nefungujúcom projekte encyklopédie Nupedia. Wales je dnes riaditeľom nadácie Wikimedia, neziskovej organizácie sídliacej v Tampe, ktorá obhospodaruje Wikipédiu a jej mladšie sesterské projekty. Podľa magazínu Time utratil Wales na založenie a prevádzku svojich wiki projektov asi 500 000 USD.

Wales sa dôrazne angažuje v záležitostiach zákonov o strelných zbraniach, zvlášť v súvislosti s ústavou USA.

Wales žije v St. Petersburgu na Floride so svojou ženou Christinou a dcérou Kirou. Wikipedia

Quoted in an artwork, also depicting Wales, in the 2018 exhibition 'Internet Giants : Masters of the Universe' by Langlands & Bell.

“It is pretty weird. A few years ago, I was just some guy sitting in front of the internet. Now I send an e-mail or edit an article and it makes headlines around the world … I used to be just a guy — now I'm Jimmy Wales.”
