			Hey Mr. Wales, there's a discussion on ] about what image should be used on your Misplaced Pages entry.

	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[REDACTED] - 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, ]

	Hi Jimbo, I noticed you just deleted ] with the note ''Old and not an encyclopedia article, no longer of value''. Was this accidental? It's in Misplaced Pages: 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. --] 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, 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.''

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

This talkpage has been mentioned by a media organization:

Matthew Gault (8 December 2021). "Misplaced Pages Editors Very Mad About Jimmy Wales' NFT of a Misplaced Pages Edit". Vice Media. The trouble began when Wales posted an announcement about the auction on his user talk page—a kind of message board where users communicate directly with each other.

Talk:Jimmy_Wales#Newer_2024_image?

Hey Mr. Wales, there's a discussion on Talk:Jimmy_Wales#Newer_2024_image? about what image should be used on your Misplaced Pages entry. Figured you may want to chime in with personal opinion about the recent freely-licensed images of you that are presented, as there hasn't been much engagement there at the time of my post.
