I think Wikipedia should seriously consider marketing T-Shirts reading:
I am an opponent of the Cabal: Wikipedia.com

Jimbo: what happened to the server this morning?
I couldn't reach it either. Pinging bomis.com was alright, pinginging wikipedia.com gave me a timeout:-( -- WojPob
The same with me. Kpjas
Hey, while we're asking, what's up with the meta.wikipedia.com? First I couldn't reach it, and now it's giving me a weird string of MySQL errors. --Stephen Gilbert
Jimbo tells me he has been moving servers, which explains it. Once things start working correctly again, things should be back to normal (er, I really did mean to say something informative there...). --LMS
Hey Jimmy, I'm working my way through the list at Wikipedians and moving user pages into the user space. I notice you have an old version of your page at Jimbo Wales. Is there any content from that page you want saved? --Stephen Gilbert
I wonder if you have been keeping an eye on the Aria Giovanni talk webpage. The situation there is out of control.
Matters have deteriorated to a highly abusive level over a website link. Of special concern is the general conduct and attitude of someone called NetEsq, who claims in his details to be a lawyer.
He has repeatedly abused anyone who opposed the idea of the website link with such tactics as net misettiquete ( eg the use of the word 'you' in capitals and bold to emphasise shouting), a poor grasp of history, the unrepentant use of such termsas Nazi, out of context quotes and attempted alienation ("only YOU opppose it").
Regardless of the rights and wrongs of his beliefs, it is very advisable to bring this most unruly and arrogant person into line.
Given that your name is on the list of persons who can ban users, I thought it advisable to bring this to your attention, before it leads to persons leaving the wikipedia - something likely to stroke Netesq's already aggressive ego.
In your case, it should be added that your name has already been mentioned by Netesq. For that reason alone, you may want to step in.
Jimbo, please help us stop the non-stop vandalism done by the anonymoys people in the pro-Jehovah's Witnesses camp. Their constant slander of all JW critics is hateful. Their constant vandalizim of this encyclopaedia only proves that much of the criticism made against the JW movement is true. The pro-JW group here uses unscrupulous tactics to slander others, censor material, write bald-faced lies and literally rewrite history. Every single day they rewrite entries, and they refuse to respect the opinions of anyone at all, but themselves. If they (and we are talking about a few people here) are not banned for at least a month, then we might as well delete every entry on this topic, because their actions have made clear that they have no intention of ever ending their vandalism and censorship. With concern, RK
Hi Jimbo, I noticed you just deleted Wikipedia:Bug reports with the note Old and not an encyclopedia article, no longer of value. Was this accidental? It's in Wikipedia: namespace so it doesn't clutter the article space, and it's linked to from the front page and the sidebar, and gives the links to our bug tracker on the sourceforge site. I've restored the page. --Brion 14:33 Nov 25, 2002 (UTC)
Er, yeah, if I did that it was a mistake. I'll go back and try to do what I meant to do. --Jimbo
Jimbo, May I please have the Administrator password? I affirm that I will not use it in a way that is non-wiki. After you send it to me, please delete this entry, for obvious reasons. (You do not have a registered email address here, or I would have emailed the request.) Please send it to me by clicking the "send email" link on my wiki home page. Thanks. (By the way, I like your sailing picture on your Web page--I have one just like it for me!)
Reference from meta wikipedia:
Jimbo Wales has said that he would, at least as a temporary measure (until some better solution can be found), give out the administrator password to anyone who asks for it.

The delay in changing cumguzzler's username is undercutting the efficacy of your policy against such offensive ones. Will you please review that user's talk page and Brion Vibber's and then give Brion the authorization to change that username as soon as is convenient for you, so we can all get back to the encyclopedia business? -- isis 10:28 Jan 16, 2003 (UTC)
