No sock puppetry

Jimmy Wales, please turn down any suspected sockpuppetry on your account. It might just be vandalism. Ms dos mode (talk) 00:09, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

It's just an April fools' joke posted by someone. Nothing to worry about. Chamal 02:05, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

No April Fools' joke

No, it isn't an April Fools' joke. -->Why would she wink at my section of discussion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ms dos mode (talk • contribs) 00:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

You did see all the[REDACTED] jokes on april fools day. so just give it a rest as we all need to have some fun on[REDACTED] after all does it realy mater if we have fun mattman (talk) 07:19, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

VIP

Given that your name is Jimbo... I thought you might want to comment on the attempts to merge or delete the Bacon mania article. You also might be interested to read this news story about the phenomenon (which just so happens to mention Misplaced Pages) . Thank you for your prompt attention to this very important matter.

Also, I'm looking forward to seeing you in Buenos Aires for Wikimania 2009, but have yet to receive my airline ticket and hotel vouchers. I guess all that foundation paperwork takes some time, so no worries. I'll try to be patient and I thank you kindly for your thoughtful and kind consideration of the need to have me in attendance. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:45, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't know anything about airline tickets or hotel vouchers for Wikimania. I also have no idea why I should care about the Bacon article, but thanks for pointing it out to me, I had a smile reading it. :) --Jimbo Wales (talk) 11:25, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
Cool. Thanks for responding. I must have had you confused with another Jimbo. Peace. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:37, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I realize I must have sounded rude. I didn't mean to be. I just didn't understand. :) --Jimbo Wales (talk) 10:46, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Oh, my bad sorry Jimbo. I was just teasing about sending me to Wikimania and about the other Jimbos, and I was saying cool, like, okay cool. You didn't come across as rude at all. I'm sorry my comments didn't come across as I intended them. I think I should have added a smiley. :) Party on my man. Sorry about the misunderstanding and thanks for taking time to investigate and respond to my comments. Keep an eye out for turbaconducken... and you might want to check out the bacon puchero and locro (which my research indicates has bacon as a key ingredient despite what our article says) while you're partying down south. Unless of course you're kosher in which case you can order up some turkey bacon and fakon. Bacon now, bacon forever!!!??? ChildofMidnight (talk) 15:18, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Hello Jimbo Wales! I just wanted to say I think you are brilliant, and how you can come up with such amazing ideas as Misplaced Pages is beyond my imagination. It will be of great pleasure if you were to look at my userpage and possibly sign my guestbook if you don't mind. If you like poems, feel free to look up the Literary works section on my About me page, where I have typed a couple. Ross Rhodes (talk) 23:24, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Quick hello and thanks

Given that I've been here some three and a half years, I figure it's time to at least say hello to the leader behind such an amazing project! I usually don't like to become such a significant part of anything, but what a beauty it is that anyone can do as little or as much as they want. For a period of time, I left the project, having convinced myself that my academic and artistic pursuits required more of my time. As if slapped in the face by fate, I realized I needed this outlet, and so here I am to stay. I know you probably get stories like this very often, but I have to thank and congratulate you for the site. May each year be as successful as the last! --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:10, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

TERRIBLE THING ABOUT THE[REDACTED] LOGO

I recently found out that the Chinese character on the logo of wiki was wrong. As a native Chinese, I know perfectly well that that character should be written as 祖. An additional dot on the globe could be seen. Please correct it right away. Sammy312 (talk) 02:52, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

personally i believe that on the english wikipdia nobody will notice mattman (talk) 07:20, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

There are several mistakes on the logo, we know all about them and hopefully they will be fixed sooner or later. It's easier said than done, though, unfortunately. --Tango (talk) 18:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
In particular, see meta:Talk:Misplaced Pages/Logo#The proposed Chinese character in particular and that page in general for recent discussion. - BanyanTree 03:47, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

It's a serious question, so let's stop this fussing

Jimbo, under established precedent of users being able to re-add edits from banned users if they are willing to take responsibility for said edit, may I please ask the following question, one which has been added and removed from here countless times, causing more "drama" than the actual question.

Jimbo, could you please explain why in August 2002, you introduced yourself as "co-founder" of Misplaced Pages; but in May 2007, you declared yourself the "sole founder" of Misplaced Pages?

Many thanks GTD 12:22, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Looks like a typo.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 13:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of a tiny mind" - Ralph Waldo Emerson. Rodhullandemu 12:38, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
There is a very good description of the whole co-founder/founder issue at Larry Sanger#Origins of Misplaced Pages with lots of sources. --Tango (talk) 18:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Jimmy

How often do you check your Wikia email & how long does it take to reply normally?
