Apparently this is the founder figure of Wikipedia. Recommend, he named Jimmy Donald Wales or usually called by the greeting 'Jimbo'.
Jimbo is an American businessman who manages Wikipedia and Wikia. He was born on August 7, 1966.
Quoted from Gadgets Now, Wikipedia was co-founded with Larry Singer and other friends in 2001. Wikipedia was launched on January 15, 2001 and has grown quickly into a free information presentation service.
"Imagine a world where everyone can get all the available knowledge, that's what we do," he said in an interview with Slashdot.
It was only on May 30, 2003 that Wikipedia began in Indonesian. At present Wikipedia has presented more than 285 languages including regional languages such as Acehnese, Javanese, Sundanese, Bugis, and others. The arrival of Wikipedia, which is free and easily accessible, has killed a popular paid encyclopaedia such as Britannica.
Because it was created collaboratively and can be edited by anyone, initially many doubted the accuracy of Wikipedia articles. But a study by the scientific journal Nature in 2005 stated that Wikipedia's accuracy was almost on par with Britannica.
With page views so high, Wikipedia actually has the potential to rake in ad money. But from the beginning, Jimmy rejected the idea of advertising. And until now, Wikipedia has survived with sincere donations from the users.
"We never considered putting up advertisements. In our directors' meeting, the topic also never appeared," Wales said. He stated, the main purpose of Wikipedia is to provide free access to all human knowledge.
