[edit] Request for interview

The Wikia community has requested that you be interviewed in a future edition of Wikia's community newsletter, The Daily Edit. Please reply saying if you would like to be interviewed or not, and we'll contact you at a later date. Happy editing! --Leon:2323 | SMARTSIG | Contribs 20:44, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Happy wikimania Jimbo : go and have fun in Asia ! Wiktionary multilingual can soon transform earth into a flat world. --User_talk:Eurobas 02:49, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A better deal for more serious topic wikia?

Hi Jimbo

I've recently set up a forum and polls on the subject of 'A better deal for more serious topic wikia?' on WikiSocial. It'd be great to get any comments you may have.

At a time when major concerns such as Google are becoming more and more interested in (and taking significant action on) topics such as the environment, climate change etc, is there a danger of Wikia looking like its getting left behind? I know you might point to investing in Green wikia, but it's specifically the issue of what wikia looks like to newcomers and juxtaposition of indiscriminate and potentially offensive advertising that really concerns me, Thanks Philralph @sca21 08:23, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Do you think wikianswers will be a success?

I mean, there are sooo many questions and soo less people who answer them.. --Spazzpp2^:D 01:24, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I think so, yes. I think it will take some time for the community to form, and we're looking at ways to make question-answering and merging easier. We could also make question-asking harder, although it isn't clear what harm unanswered questions cause. (Some harm, I'm sure! But it is not clear how to think about the balance.)----Jimbo Wales 14:27, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Help!

Hi

I have a problem with a wiki I created. It takes forever to load the editing box for the main page and I can't create a page at all. And i'm also suprised to see that you founded Wikia too. Back to the problem, HELP! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Carabera 22:47, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Which wiki?----Jimbo Wales 06:12, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Flu Wiki Vandal

Hello. The conflict page redirected me to you, but I could not contact you from the flu wiki because there is an ip block on my account, issued by you. The I.P. is 173.33.2.67, I was hoping you could lift the block or if it's on a ip range block to lower the range. I was wanting to update some info in regards to Canada but was unable too. I'm a sysop on the RuneScape Wiki, if you choose to contact me there too it would be more convenient (my talk page). Thanks very much. Bonziiznob 16:07, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] I have a big problem. sir

A user told my full name in public.

I told him to tell nobody my name but since a block fight, he has told 30 users on Club Penguin Wiki.

Please Ban him.....

[edit] Closing wiki

Hi Jimbo,

How can I request my wiki to be closed?

[edit] Hello (this is not spam)

Dude, you are like a king to me! I love wikia and wikipedia. Thanks for starting this whole thing i really appreciate it. And by the way, are you on any wikis in particular? I mean you've gotta be interested in something. If you want to see my real user page, see Pac-Man Wiki the first wiki i was on. Thanks for creating this again! See you around! The Alternative Pac-Man ~ PBCZ!!! ~ Hey man!

[edit] When a 3 year old is asked about monsters

Hello, I noticed your "Hey this is great" comment about WikiTubia. I have now made an article for When a 3 year old is asked about monsters. You may look at it here. I felt bad that no one made the article so I did. :) I am planning on making an article for the other video edition. :) Jump Guru 02:27, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Your welcome. :) I also made an article for the other one, which you can view here. :D So how have you been doing Jimmy? I also like helping on Wikipedia alot. You made a really great website. :) Jump Guru 19:32, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
