If you need to contact Jimbo about something, please do so at User_talk:Jimbo Wales, not here. As Jimbo himself explains...

People who are trying to leave messages for me will likely be more satisfied if they leave messages on my user talk page than if they leave them here. This is the talk page for the article about me, not a place to talk to me. I rarely read this. --Jimbo Wales 06:05, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

An important question...

Why does the article not even bother to mention Jimbo's birth date?--Conrad Devonshire 06:35, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Because there is no good source for it, see discussion above. -- Kim van der Linde 08:03, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Look up three entries. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 10:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

doesn't look good to me

The page seems all screwed up to me - it starts with a description of "infobox celebrity" with a couple of examples following and the actual text is only a screen or two below. Must be some trivial markup mistake but I wasn't going to try to fix it myself - perhaps there's somebody more competent --Dzordzm 06:38, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

OK now it's good. Somebody's been playing with it :) --Dzordzm 06:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Archive by copy and paste

Is there some policy on archiving - as it makes more sense to me to move the talk page rather than copy and paste the text since the history then goes with the archive page. --Trödel 03:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

According to the official policy page, you can do either, as long as you follow the same procedure each time on the same page. --Robdurbar 08:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Thx --Trödel 14:05, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
