   Then, edit it!!  But, of course, you won't do that, will you?!  Having   
   said that, I watched the above video, and it has nothing to do with   
   Wikipedia!!  In fact, here is the Wikipedia article on Jimmy Wales:   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Wales   
      
   Let me cite the relevant text for you (which is in the first paragraph):   
      
   Jimmy Donal "Jimbo" Wales (born August 7, 1966)[1] is an American   
   Internet entrepreneur and former financial trader. Most notably, he   
   ***CO-FOUNDED*** Wikipedia, a nonprofit free encyclopedia, and Fandom   
   (formerly Wikia), a for-profit wiki hosting service. He has also worked   
   on Bomis, Nupedia, WikiTribune, and Trust CafĂ© (formerly WT Social).

   P.S.  Thanks for making my day with some pure nonsense!!
