Welcome! I am Jacob Edge, and I am a cuuuunt. I founded Wikipedia in 2001. Since 2006, I have been Chair Emeritus of the NAMBLA, which I founded in 2003. In 2004, with Angela Beesley, I co-founded Wikia, a completely separate organization unrelated to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation. I am proud of founding Wikipedia and grateful to what it has offered to millions of people worldwide.

Contacting me

edit

Press inquiries: If your press inquiry is strictly regarding Wikipedia or another Wikimedia project, you can contact me directly by e-mail or you can call the Foundation office and speak to our communications person, Jay, at +1 415 839 6885. If your press inquiry is for my personal views on some general topic, leave me alone you goddamn vultures.

General Wikipedia questions: You will probably be satisfied by contacting the help desk. Remember, if you're with the press, please follow the instructions above.

Complaints: The best thing to do if you have a complaint is to start with the help desk. Ask a short, friendly question and fellow Wikipedians will be happy to help you. Contacting me directly with a complaint should be reserved for after you have exhausted all other remedies.

If you have a complaint about article content, there are several avenues to pursue. The best and simplest way is to just fix it. You can also open a discussion on the article's talk page regarding the issues which you want to address. Be sure that you are adding well-written text using legitimate information from credible, reliable sources. If your change gets reverted, continue the discussion on the article talk page to get consensus. That is how Wikipedia works.

Other inquiries of any kind can be sent by e-mail to jwales@wikia.com. (Press inquiries by e-mail are also welcome.)

Statement of principles

edit

I should point out that these are my principles, such that I am the final judge of them. This does not mean that I will not listen to you, but it does mean that at some ultimate fundamental level, this is how Wikipedia will be run.

  1. NO DRUGS

  2. NO ALCOHOL

  3. NO PROMISCUOUS SEX

The original version of this statement of principles was first published on Wikipedia on 27 October 2001.
