Джимми Уэйлс знаменитые цитаты
„Лучший метод борьбы с троллями — это игнорировать их и удалять их комментарии.“
The best way to deal with trolls is to delete their comments and ignore them
For me, being blocked is always preferable to collaborating with censors. It's important to understand that the fear of site-wide blocking is based in concerns that some (smaller, presumably) ISPs may lack sufficient technical resources to block individual pages, forcing them to block the entire site to comply with the law. Believe me, if those ISPs block the entire site, while other ISPs only block specific pages, the ones which block all of Wikipedia will lose customers very very quickly. We are not weak, we are very powerful. Catering to the demands of weak and cowardly politicians - the kind who fear the spread of knowledge - is not the Wikipedia way.

Джимми Уэйлс: Цитаты на английском языке
“When someone just writes 'f**k, f**k, f**k', we just fix it, laugh and move on.”
As quoted in "Who knows?", The Guardian (26 October 2004)
Контексте: When someone just writes 'f**k, f**k, f**k', we just fix it, laugh and move on. But the difficult social issues are the borderline cases — people who do some good work, but who are also a pain in the neck.
"How a ragtag band created Wikipedia" http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/37 - TED Talk (July 2005); this has sometimes appeared paraphrased as "The real struggle is not between the right and the left but between the party of the thoughtful and the party of the jerks."
Контексте: Most people understand the need for neutrality. The real struggle is not between the right and the left — that's where most people assume — but it's between the party of the thoughtful and the party of the jerks. And no side of the political spectrum has a monopoly on either of those qualities.

Wikimania 2008 Alexandria, press conference, 0'20 (August 2008), asked about Google Knol
Контексте: We are a passionate community of volunteers who are trying to create a free encyclopedia for every single person on the planet. So we don't often think in terms of competition. We are going to do what we do and we hope Google does wonderful things as well. … If we were approaching this as a business we would think always: Oh, how can we position ourselves on the market... We just don't do any of that stuff.
Источник: As quoted in "The Encyclopedist’s Lair" in The New York Times (19 November 2007)
“If people could treat others as though they were speaking face to face, that would be huge.”
As quoted in "The Encyclopedist’s Lair" in The New York Times (19 November 2007)
Контексте: There’s plenty of rude stuff online. People say things online that they would be ashamed to say face to face. If people could treat others as though they were speaking face to face, that would be huge.
“I don't see any particular problem with that.”
