Got a Question for Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the even-Congressional-staffers-are-welcome dept.

We did our first Slashdot interview with Jimmy Wales back in 2001. We did another one in 2004. In 2005 we ran a feature article about Wikipedia's history. Now Wikipedia is in the news again, so this seems like a perfect time to make Jimmy Wales our first Slashdot Interview "three-peater." Ask whatever you like. Expect answers to 10 or 12 of the highest-moderated questions by next week.

    Have you ever considered a carreer in organized crime? I think you should. With a name like Jimmy Wales, the sky's the limit!

    How do we know that the Wikipedia biography of Jim Wales is accurate?
