Gel speaker update - Jimmy Wales
Jun 18, 2006
Jimmy Wales Gel '05 is profiled in a New York Times story this weekend. It doesn't quite live up to its headline, but a good profile otherwise.
From Growing Wikipedia Revises Its 'Anyone Can Edit' Policy:
From the start, Mr. Wales gave the site a clear mission: to offer free knowledge to everybody on the planet. At the same time, he put in place a set of rules and policies that he continues to promote, like the need to present information with a neutral point of view.
The system seems to be working. Wikipedia is now the Web's third-most-popular news and information source, beating the sites of CNN and Yahoo News, according to Nielsen NetRatings.
