Press Inquiries: Please leave a message with my associate Terry in the USA at +1 310 474 3223, and I will get back to you. Please use that number for press inquiries only! I am not joking about this. Other inquiries to that phone number will be ignored.

Probably you will be joyful after you contact the help desk. Remember, if you're with the press, please call Terry at the number above. If you are not with the press, do not call Terry at that number. Under any circumstances.

Other inquiries can be sent by e-mail to jwales at wikia dot com. (Press inquiries by email are also always welcome.) To make sure I see your e-mail, the best way to slip it by my spam filters is to mention Wikipedia in the subject or body of the e-mail.

My travel schedule is on this page at the Meta-Wiki. Click on the link to find out more.

Here are the Wikipedia meetups I have attended:

• London
• Boston
• Chicago
• NYC

Really, you can. :-P

This is my user page. I like to keep it a certain way. But, the thing is, I trust you. (NOTE: Many wikipedians do not trust you and watch this page to revert your vandalisms of it--so even though Jim is going to let your ASCII picture of goatse slide, somebody else watching this page won't!) MuHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAH. I trust that you'll add something here that makes me smile, that informs me, or that helps to inform others. If I have things in a certain format, I trust that you'll respect that format. Actually, scratch that. Since this page is so simple and ugly, my ultimate dream is that some person who thinks it is fun will come along and make it look as perfect as Angela's user page. See that link up there: 'edit this page'? Go for it. It's a Wiki Wiki world!

Comments on how this page currently looks should be directed to this talk page.

Jimbo has a beard. It's right up there in that picture. Just look up a paragraph. You see, right? As of August 20 2005, a fierce debate has broken out. One anti-beard faction would like him to remove this 'unsightly' crop of facial hair for the good of humanity. A second anti-anti-beard faction wishes to put an end to the nefarious plotting of the anti-beard faction. A third beard-neutral faction arose in the shadow of the first two, who offer compromises (such as a soul patch) or contemplate diverting the battle to a new subject (such as the need for Jimbo to wear glasses), or simply remove all controversial Jimbo pictures (like that one you presumably just looked at near the beginning of this section, or possibly the previous section).

As of the time this modification was written (August 25), no consensus had been reached on the issue.

To those who find solace in the absence of beard-related information on this page, you have been officially spited.

It should also be noted that the beard has many features that are not considered, such as its compatibility with almost any Velcro system, its application as a low-grit sandpaper if trimmed to a proper length, and its limited-yet-present protective properties should any shrapnel become directed at his lower jaw.
