Jimmy Wales Resigns Chair at Wikipedia

user24 writes "As reported by Wikipedia's Signpost ezine, 'The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has moved forward with a step in restructuring the organization by reorganizing itself. Following a planning retreat in Frankfurt, Jimmy Wales stepped down as Chair of the board, and Florence Nibart-Devouard was chosen to replace him ... Wales, meanwhile, will continue to serve on the board and assume the honorary title of Chairman Emeritus. He will remain active in Wikimedia projects, but chose to pass on the responsibility of heading the board, due in part to his commitments to outside projects.'"

    Now ol' Daniel Brandt will have to have Anthere pictured on the boat next to two scantily clad women. Quite the change, isn't it?

    Does anyone know why very few comments are being moderated up lately? Is this some kind of mod system bug?

  4. VLAD FARTED by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    late breaking news, lockwood was in a crowded theater tonight, he ate some popcorn and farted, being a typical vlad fart the stench was horrible. people started gagging and then puking, pretty soon the whole audience was puking, the movie was a rerun of "my girl 2" which was the only thing vlad could afford. anyway long story short, the ushers outside opened the door to the theater and a river of puke literally flowed out as the doors opened, that's how bad the fart was and how many people were puking.

    if you disapprove of vlad then donate to children's charities, i suggest children's inn, the shriners, and st. jude hospitol
