User talk:Jimbo Wales/Edits

  • hi, Jimbo.. nice job. Really appreciate your ideas of creating this website where ideas of people throughout the world get together. Really help get some info for things that I need to prepare. Thanks a lot. From: Jure, KL, Malaysia.
  • Wikipedia is a really great idea. It is worth improving. One isue I think needed is to disable removal of NPOV templates and Factual Accuracy templates by others than the user adding them. Otherwise they no not make much difference at articles manipulated on purpose. An example is the article on Jesus where NPOV templates (as well as any other comment trying to fix the biases) is reverted by one (or several?) people. You may have to change the implementation to achieve this. A second idea could consist in replacing very controversial articles, like the one on Jesus, with blocked NPOV articles consisting only of links to articles with declared POV, like the one I attempted at Jesus NPOV . Thanks for any feed-back.
  • Hi - I'm a Wikipedia reader (and very occasional and limited writer) from Australia. I only discovered this site a few months ago, but in that time I've become convinced that I'm seeing a historic development in the collection and distribution of human knowledge. This site has the potential to change the world. Well done! Charlie
  • Just to say a big thanks for the presentation this afternoon in London, 01/12/2004. Thought I'd give this editing thing a go and wow... it all works amazingly! (Sorry if this is in the wrong page - any incompetence is mine not my employer's.)
  • Tried to make the page a little more pleasing to the eye, although it is sadly not quite as beautiful as Angela's. Hope you like it. dpen2000 12:19, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Hats off to you for making wikipedia. Just exercising the right to edit. 195.229.241.169 12:00, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Huntsville! Cool! I went to Jax State and a bunch of my classmates went to work up in Huntsville, several at Intergraph. After graduation I went to work for Harris Data Services Corp in Montgomery. I'm in VA now. Ppcx 01:59, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • I just reverted to someones simple version, hopefully I'll try and not make your userpage as good as mine... :-) [[User:Squash|Squash (Talk)]] 01:07, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
  • The one with the fancy buttons was better. Andre (talk) 19:52, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
  • The one that has fancy buttons but shows with Times New Romans like fonts on this Fedora Core system... eh?... I think that a vertically navigation bar is more effective though. [[User:Squash|Squash (Talk)]] 20:34, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
    • I believe it was supposed to, Squash. Andre (talk) 22:47, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Moved image into table... surprised it still looks good. The image pushing down the table... very bad. dpen2000 01:33, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • The page doesn't look amazing now... It's still better than what it was before Jimbo issued the challenge dpen2000 22:07, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Maybe it'll look nicer now that I've moved the edit comments to their own page! :) Ashibaka tlk 19:41, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Just changed your text Ashibaka to remove connotation(at least in my mind) that changes must be discussed here before made.
  • Just thought I'd say thanks for very much for Wiki-everything. You're very hard to find as the creator, but I suppose praise should be given to your modesty in relation to the fact that you haven't plastered your username over every page lol. Keep up the good work! :-) Thanx. Craigy144 01:48, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • What happened to the CSS-enhanced page? Adraeus 03:24, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Hi Jimbo! I would like to suggest that Wikipedia should recruit paid proffessionals to select the best of the articles and put them into a disc for sale, like Britannica and Grolier. I hope that people can keep their own personal copies of wikipedia in this way. Is it good? Chan Han Xiang
    • Would be difficult to sell profitably, given that they are copylefted, and everybody can legally copy it instead of buying it! :)

  • HAPPY NEW YEAR! Greetins from Tallinn, Estonia. Wikipedia is great project!

  • Hi Jimbo, newbie here.

Just wondering is Wikipedia so free that if its stated purpose of being called an encyclopedia changed (democratically) would you step in to fix it? Potroast 04:07, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC) btw- great idea


Hey Jimbo, I love this community! I can find topics on anything and the mass editing process gives me confidence in their validity. One thing - I want to set up a user page and can't figure out how. I'm afraid if I use the main site, I'll just be creating an encyclopedia page (with my name). Please help. --orthoseeker 18:36, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Top of page links in Internet Explorer

For me, using Internet Explorer, the links at the top of the page are not rendering correctly when they are first displayed. After selecting them (andthen removing that selection) they have a black bacground and are readable, but beforehand they are white text on a white background.

Before I added a couple of </div> end tags, the links were overwritten by the following lines of text.

Science kits, science lessons, science toys, maths toys, hobby kits, science games and books - these are some of many products that can help give your kid an edge in their science fair projects, and develop a tremendous interest in the study of science. When shopping for a science kit or other supplies, make sure that you carefully review the features and quality of the products. Compare prices by going to several online stores. Read product reviews online or refer to magazines.

Start by looking for your science kit review or science toy review. Compare prices but remember, Price $ is not everything. Quality does matter.
