10 Shocking Facts You Never Knew About Wikipedia and Wikipedia’s creator Jimmy Wales
I’ve researched some of the facts and they turned true, however there might be also some lies. But anyways man should be cautious when reading information on wikipedia.
James Yerucham Wales (born August 17, 1962 is an American entrepreneur, best known for founding Wikipedia, the world’s third-most popular website.
According http://www.jewornotjew.com – Whilst at college, Wales became a practicing Wiccan. Not able to find a job after graduation, he re-discovered his early love and created “Wiccapedia”
an online encyclopaedia devoted to Wicca. Wales wrote the articles himself, but the web site did not get many readers.
B. Streisand
On a whim, Wales decided to expand Wiccapedia to include all subject matter[7]. Soon after the re-launch of the newly-branded “Wikipedia”, the first two articles written by someone else appeared: Barbra Streisand and Necrophilia.
His Surname Yerucham is a bit weird and sounds a bit Jewish, though officially I couldn’t find any references he is of a jewish origin.
