Got a Question for Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales?

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.

Give it up. You're part of the new generation of moon hoaxers who are some of the most annoying, blindingly ignorant and uneducated people ever.

Actually, I am ignorant. That's why I'm asking questions. I am curious as to the true nature of many fantastic events. Those questions are considered unpatriotic, "uneducated" and "annoying," but I don't care. I want to know the truth, and I will keep asking questions until I know it.

Since you're obviously so smart, perhaps you can help me. Please answer me this: Why did WTC Building 7 collapse? It was not hit by an airplane and it had only small fires. Larry Silverstein, lease-holder for the whole WTC complex, said on PBS that they decided to "pull" the building. Can you please explain how they managed to arrange a controlled demolition while it was still on fire, on 9/11.

Please let me know. I am really curious.
