There is far more material and actions and actual rulings by ArbCom to support journalists or authors writing about that if they took the time to do the research properly (though some aspects are almost certainly only accessible to insiders and to an official biographer if Jimmy ever goes that route). The one thing that flags up Jimmy's role on en-wiki more than anything else is the amount of traffic his talk page gets, and the number of people watching his talk page. There is also his work relating to off-wiki structures such as the WMF and the en-wiki ArbCom, but it becomes difficult to talk authoritatively about that without breaching confidences. The page WP:JIMBO does cover some of this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Role_of_Jimmy_Wales Carcharoth _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
