User talk:Jimbo Wales
So, is this...is this really you? --Doktor McCheez 00:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
I would like to know this as well, but I can't see any way for Jimbo to prove it's really him, if it is him. I bet the real Jimbo doesn't go by his real name on Uncyc.
Of course, he could be thinking we'd think just that... Wehpudicabok 04:11, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
It says he is a staff member in the userlist so I think this vandal really has control of this wiki
Okay, if this guy is Jimbo Wales, I'm Jesus. --Belugaperson 23:21, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Nice to meet, you, Jesus. --Jimbo Wales 21:52, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Someone asked on his Wikipedia talk page, and he said this is him.
There one way to prove it really him. If you really Jimmy Wales then what your ip address. --Xh5678
Seven. It used to be five but I accidentally got logged off and some bastard took my number.--Jimbo Wales 00:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Are you really the chairman?[edit source]
if you are the real Jimbo then get out before they start vandalizing on ya! Watch out! Emperor Walter Humala God save him!(God exists?) | wanna Talk?00:46, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, right[edit source]
Now, don't get me wrong here, I have no real feelings against Uncyclopedia, as long as it doesn't interfere with Wikipedia, but do you really think that Jimbo would make an account here? Think about it... And yes, I am a Wikipedian, specifically, this one. 72.92.84.100 16:40, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- I agree. --212.247.27.32 11:52, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Are you sure? Look at this user's contributions. It sounds like someone making fun of Jimbo Wales. And why would his first edit ever be on the Terrorist article? --YeOldeLuke 03:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Jimbo[edit source]
Hi Jimbo Wales, I'm your biggest fan did you get my letters...My love letters...I know someday we can get married Jimbo. It will be great we will have a big Ceremony and I'll invite all my stuffed animals and you can invite...you wikipedian nerd friends...I guess. If your not free because of your comitments to wikipedia that is fine, I can always look through your window. P.S Can you prune back your Rosh bushs they were quite prickly and it made it hard to watch you last night--SIR T H A T G U Y H U F F E D M E throw a snowball 12:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- Married? I thought he already is :) 72.234.2.18 05:27, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'll take care of that cow, all I need is some scissors to cut her brakes…--SIR T H A T G U Y H U F F E D M E throw a snowball 03:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
The New Year[edit source]
Jimbo Wales going to be nominated for UGoTM. The hottest award of the new year. --NXWave 00:39, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
'Sole flounder'[edit source]
Are we allowed to call you the 'sole flounder' or do you censor Uncyclopedia?
- Sounds a bit fishy to me. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
This makes me insanely happy[edit source]

- That's Soul Flounder to you... :)--Jimbo Wales 22:37, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Did they seriously cite uncyclopedia? I read that and still can't believe it, that's epic. Ilop 04:07, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Journalistic Probing[edit source]
Hi there Jimbo, UU here, subterranean admin by appointment to the Royal Court of Uncyclopedia and gentleman editor of the UnSignpost, the greatest newspaper on this here wiki and many (if not all) others. In my role as ace news-hound, I was wondering if you may have a quote for our quite literally several readers? Of course, this being Uncyclopedia, I'm not asking you to comment on any particular story - instead, you give us the observation, and we'll make the story. Or, you know, don't. Whichever is cool, really.
I now leave you a copy of our glorious 1st Anniversary celebration bumper issue for your reading delight. Pippings! --UU - natter 16:00, May 8
You kids get offa my pipe! Now, where's my lawn?--Jimbo Wales 20:58, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Many thanks old bean, that'll do nicely. To the random story generatoratron! --UU - natter 21:03, May 8
- Well, gee willickers, you were logged out and not some crazy IP, whodathunkit. --CharitwoTalk 21:03, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Self-Proclaimed Greatest Newspaper on the Wiki Reaches First Birthday
The early issues were churned out at a great rate by the founding editors, and Cajek was so enthused by the project that he suggested to Skullthumper that they should move to a twice-weekly release - fortunately, this suggestion was shot down in flames by the doc, or the paper may never have celebrated a second month, let alone a full year! Skullthumper was first to leave the Signpost behind for pastures new, perhaps feeling his work was already done. Looking back nostalgically now at those heady early days, Skull exclusively observed: "Well! Working on the UnSignpost in the beginning was a really fun experience, not gonna lie. Cajek and I were both super excited about it. I'm glad it existed through to today, entirely by the help of other people. The setup was seriously the most fun part. We had NO clue what we were doing, we were experimenting with formatting, content, and a bot that only worked half the time. To summarize: It kicked ass. I had no idea it was about a year ago that it started." With only Cajek powering it, the Signpost forged onwards, but was beginning to run into troubled waters - even Cajek's legendary enthusiasm was beginning to founder, and when he began to struggle for time, he asked DJ Irreverent to take the helm. We asked Cajek for a nostalgic comment about the Signpost, but he was unavailable, so instead here's a random line from one of his articles: "Also, don't be surprised if you go to jail for what society deems "gross", "horrible", and "Satanic": it's all part of being an ant keeper... and an ant "watcher"". The DJ managed to steady the ship (how long can we sustain this metaphor?), but struggled to handle the torch he'd been passed by his adopter (looks like we didn't sustain it very long - never mind!). Asked to comment on this turbulent period, the DJ exclusively remarked: "I dropped said torch like a ton of bricks as a good child should always do. I could not take on the family business, I needed to dance. Anyway, I wrote about 2 articles". So the pattern of users taking over the paper, only to burn out and abandon it again was becoming well established. Next in the editor's chair was UU, who lasted about 6 issues, before becoming so overwhelmed by the pressures of the paper that he went and got married in order to have a good excuse to get away from it for a few weeks. Recalling those halcyon days, UU told us exclusively: "I love the Signpost, and have had a great time working on it. It does get in the way of writing real articles though, as some users might testify, and it can be a pain to come up with stories each week - hopefully this issue might spark a few people to put some more ideas in the press room". Fortunately, UU had taken the foresighted step of questioning the staying power of one Gerrycheevers in a previous issue's "comeback of the week" box, and Gerry was so determined to prove he had what it took, that he took over the paper while UU swanned off around the world. Cheevers's time at the helm brought such classic issues as the all-kitten issue, and his exclusive dewy-eyed remembrances run thusly: "I'm proud for having successfully stolen this periodical from Cajek and Skull, and I look forward to many more years of turning forums into news stories, dredging up old features that nobody cares about, and of course making tedious Cajek ban jokes. I also demand a raise and Cajek's office!" Unfortunately, Cheevers's staying power lived up to UU's expectations, and Gerry took another small break. UU returned to the paper, and frantically enlisted contributions from the likes of Orian57 and Heerenveen to keep the wheels of news turning smoothly. Asked for comment on his input, Orian exclusively told us: "It's a been a great help in bonding together this community. And it's made things more interesting, what with everyone trying to do news worthy things just to get their names in the paper. Or something, I can't manufacture funny under pressure and this is pressure because you're gonna put this in the paper just to humiliate me now, aren't you?". Hv, meanwhile, exclusively commented: "It's amazing that our wonderful newspaper has lasted for so long, especially when you figure Gerrycheevers has been fully back on board since early this year, UU is still hanging around in between banning people and huffing stuff, and with other contributors still pitching in, plus a plentiful supply of Cajek bans to use as padding (see next story), it looks like the immediate future of the paper is in Wish we'd gotten a quote from Cajek though. Bastard. Cajek 100 Ban Extravaganza During the very same week that Uncyclopedia's most well-known journalism source (suck it, UnNews!) celebrates its first birthday with much cake and punch, one of its co-founders achieved his own personal milestone by being banned for the one hundredth time. Rumors of making Cajek an admin when he reached the milestone have thus far not proven to be true, although he may have magically gained sysop powers upon entering triple-digit territory and we just won't know it until he comes back from wherever he's hiding in a hailstorm of admin-related activity (whatever it is that they do). The milestone was reached largely thanks to users such as Sockpuppet of an unregistered user, who took to the streets in a grassroots effort to raise awareness, and Gerrycheevers, who went directly to certain sysops with demonstrably active bansticks pleading for a "Cajek-whooping." The landmark 100th ban was achieved yesterday, with the good Dr. Skullthumper blocking Cajek with an expiry time of "a milestone". The UnSignpost would like to congratulate Cajek, and also plead for his return. Cajek was unavailable for comment, and this reporter was once again chased off of the grounds of the Cajek Mansion, this time by the abstract philosophical concept of existentialism.

greetings, master wales. the boys at the imperial colonization project, our subtly named collaboration group, are taking on our Wikipedia article currently, as it is a bit stale and smells vaguely of cabbage. might you be inclined to stop by the project page, or maybe look at the discussion for the collaboration, or even just leave a brief thought here? also, can i have your autograph? it's for my kid brother, he thinks you're swell! 14:44, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
