I just re-subscribed Rocketboom to keep track of her interviews. She gives this shorts some kind of sweetness and freshness which makes one’s day a lot better. Good work and thanks for interviewing Jimmy.

Fact: In the last ten years the population of the African Elephant has tripled.
I love Wikipedia and all wikis out there. Absolutly the best thing about the internet!
Just hope wikipedia keeps up the good intentions. If it does grow big enough… Everybody has their price.
**cough** youtube **cough**

Thank you, ROCKETBOOM!

If WikiPedia wasn’t edited by any old anonymous retard then perhaps it would deserve more praise. I’ve seen some amount of shit on Wiki’.
i love the girls of this show they are real girls not CAmhores or emo bitches and they are smart
“Wickeepeedeea”
wikia! :D wikedpeedia :P
Not a big fan of wikipedia, but Wikia is awesome!
And they also have just enough “real” to them to show they’re really into this kind of thing, and not just there to attract male fans…
…although Ella is pretty damn adorable :P
His shirt doesn’t have a collar…
Wickipedia rules but i think sickipedia rules more, it’s a real website in case your new to sickipedia.
my teachers don’t let me use wikipedia as a source
I have updated many articles on WikiP only to have them removed. I simply don’t believe his system works properly at all and have long since given up writing or editing anything on there.
He certainly didn’t address this and I feel Mr Wales site is more a case of information by his design and his design alone.
Sorry, while WikiP is a useful tool (there is no denying that), it’s simply the way his site has left me feeling about it and I refuse to even try to update or edit anything on there any more.
Wikipedia could be a great idea, but I never rely on it when it comes to controversial issues. The keyboard warriors are always on the look out to enhance their agenda, while I never made an article or an editing on hot subjects just out of my respect for objectivity, not trusting my own impartiality myself.
PS. The initial pic of the Youtube video is generally very well chosen, but today Ella is horrible (in the pic, I mean). What happened?
Encyclopedia Dramatica. Like wikipedia only fucking awesome and not lame.
Put that in Wikipedia ,”Jimmy Wales wears collarless shirt.” lol
Mikipedia Founder Mickey Mouse
I started Mikipedia as a source for mice to discuss the whereabouts of cats and cheese. They are our mortal enemies and Jimmy doesn’t have any info in Mousian which is the language we speak. We are planning to team up with Google House View & Google Room View so we can know where it’s safe to hang. Of course DisneyWorld is the safest place on earth for us meeses, but everyone else hates us to pieces.
…
Nice.
*Random useless comment*
the easy way around that is to just cite the sources that wiki has at the bottom of most their articles.
@eSilva90 Cause people can post what they want and it can be all nonsense
He should have ironed his shirt
Well Done Ella! Great segment.
Intelligent and relevant.
GO ELMO….that was the best…do it again.
this one you are doing is boring.
I always laugh when someone says “That’s what it says on wikipedia.”
Most wikipedia articles have many references that can be tracked down, not to mention further research sections. It isn’t always complete, but wikipedia is a good way to get info together quickly, due to how much gets compiled right away.
Should I even mention how easy it is to get a publisher to let you publish a book? Some publishers check their content less than wikipedia does, which is pretty insane. Any information that is incorrect can be double checked by cross-reference.
And extremely saddening.
I like her Accent.
Nice work Ella.
Wikipedia is certain one of the most impressive ideas to pop out of the internet. I love that it promotes the interest in the concept of verifiability. It is sad when one utilizes a single source claiming ‘it must be true, it’s written’. Citation is provided in Wikipedia offsite to point other sources and therefore more complete and separate sources; its a link page of interest by interested parties bringing unconfirmed but dynamically verifiable focus to a modern age of information overload.
That’s a very nice description you got there. ;]
EXCUSE ME… did he insult the youtube community. the true youtube community has done amazing things for each other. we are a real community
Stinks that my teacher doesnt let me use wiki as a sourse, at least i can just go to the refference sites at the bottom ;)
i luv wikipadie. halpz me cheet on meh test.
Just kidding. I’m not that dumb. I do learn something from Wikipedia. LOL
@clankbot9… u r not alone.lol
regarding the precision and value of the content.. well, let`s just say that wiki is a newborn, and that depends on you to raise it.
oh! ella, sorry but i have a girfriend! stop calling.we can only be friends.
My balls are feeling very heavy. Let me rest them on your forehead.
fuck you
O_o your balls are feeling very hard…..i think you need to see the doctor you may have testicular cancer
such sexual tension in this video
I remember when Obama’s wiki page was covered with the writing NIIIIGGGER.
Internetz, you’re so immature.
anytime people edit something on wikipedia with false information, it is surprising just how fast that info gets changed.
HAHA
lies, all lies!
I, found wikipedia first. ME.
come on people this guy can’t even afford collars.
ALL my shirts have collars.
hahaha
wikipedia rocks!!
Very nice outfit Ella!

Jimmy Wales is a hero! He clearly read the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov as a kid! :D
This makes me want to go and edit Stephen Colbert’s page, “YOU FUCCKIN LOSER!! LEAVE JIMMY WALES ALONE!” And cause’ he is so vain and stupid-headed he checks it every second thinking “I am so cool, I’m on wikipedia” so he will see and be like D:
MUWHAHAHAHHA
But I won’t cause’ that would be immature…
my hero
lol i just draw an ascii dick in wikipedia
I HATE when people, like teachers, say Wikipedia can be false and filled with lies or something like that :(
My teachers say don’t use it for reports, but i always do ^_^
Why do you hate the truth?
i think the reason why teachers don’t allow us to use wikipedia is that it’s too convenient, it’s too good
What you could do, is make sure to refer to the references in the wikipedia articles, since Wikipedia doesn’t allow original research.
Yeah, they always say “it’s full of mistakes on every page!” I’ve spotted 2 mistakes ever, both spelling mistakes, which i then corrected.
Wikipedia > School
Then why’d you watch it?
and full of porn.
Sickipedia is about jokes, not articles.
You get a thumb up from me.
@TKGB2006 I know, i just liek the site because it’s got a lot of cruel jokes and it’s name was based off wikipedia, like wikipedia, it features thousands apon thousnads of things, wikipedia can tell you science, history etc, sickipedia can tell you jokes about deaf people and make funny cracks at recent event’s they have a simalar base, but wikipedia is consturctive
because im subscribed to rocketboom :p
Oh.
Wikipedia is a great source of information and the only reason teachers don’t want us to use it is because we would have all the information we need in just one place and we wouldn’t have to do any other research. Wikipedia can be edited by people but the information is accurate.
It is very disturbing to see how much people have been taken in by this cult of Wikipedia. It is an inherently destructive resource (as it drowns out better-researched sources), mismanaged by a devious Foundation. But, looking at the comments here, it would seem that its supporters are too juvenile in thought to imagine anything adverse about this train wreck of knowledge.
Go look up “Human economy” on Wikipedia right now, then tell me it’s the best resource on the planet.
He’s a cool guy. And a visionary .
I totally agree ^^
But you must check the sources of info in the footnotes. Sometimes the cited sources can be totally unreliable. Don’t take it for granted that the editor has good references.
To walk your talk to be a part of the solution in this world is cool! Jimmy Wales does,and,in a fun productive and positive way,Rocketboom too!
