Ashequr Rahman

WikiGenius: /* Samophobia */

'''Ashequr Rahman''' is an inventor, researcher, and writer based in '''Dhaka''', '''Bangladesh'''. He is best known for inventing the concept of Samophobia, which is a research topic focused on human behavior.
{{Infobox person|name=Ashequr Rahman|image= Ashequr Rahman.jpeg
|caption= Photo of Ashequr Rahman|birth_date= September 22, 1992|birth_place=Dhaka, Bangladesh|nationality=Bangladeshi|occupation=Inventor, Researcher, Writer|known_for=Concept of Samophobia|education={{plainlist| * BBA in Finance, Canadian University of Bangladesh * Studied British Law, University of London’s LLB International Programme }}|notable_works=Samophobia|awards=|memberships=American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)|website=}}

== Samophobia ==
Samophobia explains the conflicting and challenging dynamics between individuals who share genetic, upbringing, educational, and other similarities. This phenomenon can destroy many early-stage ideas, initiatives, and projects. Potential leaders, entrepreneurs, and creative minds often cannot reach their goals because of early-stage conflict and demotivation. According to Rahman, identifying Samophobia in its early stages and building strong bonds can help solve big problems together, even those previously thought impossible to tackle. Samophobia most likely occurs between people with similar levels of capacity, education, qualification, and background.

Leaders must work to overcome Samophobia by recognizing the importance of collaboration and cooperation, and by seeking to understand the other side’s perspective. By working towards a shared goal and finding areas of common ground, leaders can build stronger relationships and create a more peaceful world.

'''Example of Samophobia in University:'''

Nafis studies in University A department of Engineering, Nafis needs 100 dollar loan for an emergency situation and Nafis ask for loan to Karim (one of your classmates in Engineering department) Karim may think

# If I give Nafis 100 dollar now, will he help me in the exam ?
# If I lend Nafis money, I have a close friend who has some issues with him, that friend will be angry at me.

If you ask that loan from Rubel ( Department of Law ) student, Rubel is less likely to think in that complicated way.

'''Example of Samophobia in Office:'''

Mesbah and Lamisa are two sales representatives working for the same company. They both have similar levels of education, experience, and qualifications, and they have worked together on previous sales campaigns. During a sales strategy meeting, Lamisa becomes defensive when Mesbah suggests a different approach:

Mesbah: “I think we should try targeting a different demographic with this campaign. We might have better success if we focus on a younger audience.”

Lamisa: “I disagree. Our company has always focused on our traditional customer base, and we shouldn’t change that. We know what works.”

Mesbah: “I understand that, but I think we should at least explore some alternatives. We want to make sure we’re reaching as many potential customers as possible.”

Lamisa: “I don’t think we have time to experiment with untested strategies. We need to stick to what we know works.”

In this conversation, Lamisa is experiencing Samophobia, fearing that Mesbah’s suggestions will make her appear less competent or diminish her contributions to the project. Her defensiveness and unwillingness to consider alternative perspectives may be hindering the team’s ability to generate innovative sales strategies.

'''Example of Samophobia in International Relations'''

In a high-level diplomatic meeting between two countries, there may be a sense of Samophobia from both sides. Each country may be protective of their own interests and may view the other as a threat to their own power or identity. This can lead to a breakdown in communication and cooperation, and may even result in conflict or war.

For example, consider a meeting between the leaders of two countries who have historically had tense relations. Each leader may come to the table with a strong sense of Samophobia towards the other side:

Leader A: “I can’t believe we have to sit across the table from these people. They’re not to be trusted.”

Leader B: “We have to be careful with them. They’re always trying to undermine our power.”

In this situation, the leaders may be so focused on protecting their own interests and identity that they are unable to find common ground or reach a mutually beneficial agreement.

To overcome this, diplomacy must be based on mutual respect, empathy, and understanding. Leaders must work to overcome Samophobia by recognizing the importance of collaboration and cooperation, and by seeking to understand the other side’s perspective. By working towards a shared goal and finding areas of common ground, leaders can build stronger relationships and create a more peaceful world.

'''Example of Samophobia in Politics'''

In a legislative body, there may be a sense of Samophobia between members of different political parties who hold opposing views on important issues. Each party may be protective of their own agenda and may view the other party as a threat to their own success. This can lead to gridlock and may prevent the legislative body from passing meaningful legislation.

For example, during a debate on healthcare reform, the following conversation might occur:

Member A: “The healthcare system is broken and we need to enact major reforms to fix it.”

Member B: “We can’t trust the government to fix healthcare. We need to let the free market work and give people more choices.”

In this situation, both members are experiencing Samophobia towards each other, which is preventing them from finding common ground and passing meaningful legislation. This can lead to a stalemate and may result in a continued broken healthcare system.

To overcome this, members of the legislative body must prioritize compromise and collaboration. By working together and recognizing the strengths and contributions of each party, members can find common ground and pass meaningful legislation that serves the needs of all citizens. They can also work to overcome Samophobia by listening to each other’s perspectives and finding ways to bridge the gap between their differing views. By putting aside their differences and working towards a common goal, politicians can create a more effective and inclusive government that serves the needs of all citizens.

== Education ==
Ashequr Rahman completed his Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree, majoring in Finance from the Canadian University of Bangladesh. Prior to that, he studied British law for two years at the British School of Law under the University of London’s LLB International Programme. From a very young age, Ashequr showed a passion for arts, creative thinking, and working on innovative ideas and projects.

== Influences ==
Rahman is influenced by historical polymaths such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sir Isaac Newton, as well as modern visionaries like Humayun Ahmed and Steve Jobs. These diverse influences have shaped his perspective on innovation, collaboration, and the profound impact of human connections.

== Memberships and Recognition ==
As a dedicated researcher, Ashequr Rahman is a proud member of The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), reflecting his commitment to advancing knowledge and contributing to the global scientific community. His endeavors have been officially recognized by the Bangladesh government, which awarded him a copyright certificate for his groundbreaking research on Samophobia.

== Community Involvement ==
Ashequr Rahman is a local director of Junior Chamber International (JCI), a non-profit international non-governmental organization of young people between the ages of 18 and 40. JCI has members in about 124 countries and regional or national organizations in most of them.

== Personal Life ==
Ashequr Rahman resides in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where he continues his work as an inventor, researcher, and writer.

With an enduring passion for literature and the written word, she has embarked on a dedicated mission to craft stories that ignite joy and captivate the hearts of her readers. {{Infobox person|name=Kay.

Oliver's signature easy-to-read style transforms her books into irresistible page-turners, brimming with unexpected twists that leave you spellbound.

{{SHORTDESC:American author}}

==Biography==
In her latest literary endeavor, Oliver's storytelling prowess leaves no room for doubt. Her writing seamlessly blends her Hollywood experience with an unbridled imagination, ensuring every moment is nothing short of enthralling. As her reputation continues to soar, Kay A. Oliver is swiftly emerging as a legendary storyteller of our era. Kay A. Oliver holds a degree in Communication: Radio, TV, Film from California State University, Fullerton, and boasts decades of hands-on experience in the heart of Hollywood. Her dedication to excellence led her to pursue a master's degree in business and finance, complementing her already impressive skill set. She remains an active member of the TV Academy, a testament to her enduring commitment to the world of entertainment. Oliver takes delight in confronting challenging subjects and uncharted inquiries that serve as the underpinning of her narratives. In the case of "DISTURBED TOMBS," this fiction book central inquiry revolves around a thought-provoking question: What might transpire when we excavate numerous ancient tombs while, paradoxically, zealously safeguarding our present-day cemeteries from intrusion? While the story carries a hint of the paranormal, it raises a profound query: Are we unsettling the peace of those at rest? Although it belongs to the historical fiction genre, it encourages readers to contemplate the tantalizing "what if" scenarios it presents. '''ROAD TO ELYSIUM''' fearlessly confronts the complex themes of depression and racism, while also highlighting how a single, spontaneous decision can profoundly impact multiple lives for the better. Inspired by a real-life incident, Oliver was driven by a deep sense of purpose to convey the anguish and despair of loss, along with the transformative power of choices, which can unexpectedly set us on unforeseen journeys. This novel sheds light on the intricate interplay of circumstances and human decisions, underscoring the potential for unexpected paths towards redemption and healing.. This Award winning author continues with "SISTERS IN COLD" boldly addresses the stark reality that not all missing persons or murder cases receive the same level of attention and resources as those involving individuals with privilege and power. While a work of fiction, it compellingly navigates the imperative of resolving even the coldest of cases. This pursuit is driven not only by a desire for justice but also by the profound need to provide closure to the grieving families who continue to bear the weight of uncertainty. In her captivating narratives, Oliver skillfully weaves stories that not only captivate readers but also harbor significant educational undertones. Her work serves as a platform for raising important issues that some may shy away from or avoid discussing, all within the context of an engaging and entertaining read.

Wales was born in [[Huntsville, Alabama]], shortly before midnight on August 7, 1966; however, his birth certificate lists his date of birth as August 8.<ref name="Rogoway" /> His father, Jimmy Sr.,<ref name="kazek" /> was a [[grocery store]] manager, while his mother, Doris Ann ({{nee|Dudley}}), and his grandmother, Erma, ran the House of Learning,<ref name="bookstopshere" /><ref name="eofa">{{cite web|last=Wilson|first=Claire M.|title=Jimmy Wales|url=http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/article/h-2618|access-date=December 26, 2017|website=[[Encyclopedia of Alabama]]|archive-date=December 20, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191220034549/http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/article/h-2618|url-status=live}}</ref> a small private school in the tradition of the [[One-room school|one-room schoolhouse]], where Wales and his three siblings received their early education.<ref name="bookstopshere" /><ref name="reasonmag" />

As a child, Wales enjoyed reading.<ref name="Economist2008" /> When he was three, in 1968, his mother bought a ''[[World Book Encyclopedia]]'' from a door-to-door salesman. As he grew up and learned to read, it became an object of reverence, but Wales soon discovered that the ''World Book'' had shortcomings: No matter how much was in it, there were many more things that were not. ''World Book'' sent out stickers for owners to paste on the pages to update the encyclopedia, and Wales was careful to put the stickers to work, stating, "I joke that I started as a kid revising the encyclopedia by stickering the one my mother bought."<ref name="kazek" /><ref>{{Cite news|author=Walter Isaacson|url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/you-can-look-it-up-the-wikipedia-story|title=You Can Look It Up: The Wikipedia Story|journal=The Daily Beast|date=October 19, 2014|access-date=December 26, 2017|archive-date=June 13, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190613013448/https://www.thedailybeast.com/you-can-look-it-up-the-wikipedia-story|url-status=live}}</ref>

During an interview in 2005 with [[Brian Lamb]], Wales described his childhood private school as a "[[Montessori method|Montessori]]-influenced philosophy of education", where he "spent lots of hours poring over the ''[[Encyclopædia Britannica|Britannica]]'' and ''World Book Encyclopedias''".<ref name="qanda" /> There were only four other children in Wales's [[Educational stages#United States and Canada|grade]], so the school combined the first- through fourth-grade students, and the fifth- through eighth-grade students. As an adult, Wales was sharply critical of the government's treatment of the school, citing the "constant interference and bureaucracy and very sort of snobby inspectors from the state" as a formative influence on his political philosophy.<ref name="qanda" />

After eighth grade, Wales attended [[Randolph School]],<ref name="Randolph" /><ref>Moore, Rebecca (January 7, 2013).

== Career ==

=== Chicago Options Associates and Bomis ===
[[File:Bomis-staff-summer-2000.jpg|thumb|The staff of Wales' Internet company [[Bomis]] photographed in summer 2000. Wales is third from the left in the back row, with Christine Rohan.]]
In 1994, Wales took a job with [[Chicago Options Associates]], a [[Futures contract|futures]] and [[Option (finance)|options]] trading firm in [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]].<ref name="qanda" /><ref name="2.0" /><ref name="knowitall" /> Wales has described himself as having been addicted to the Internet from an early stage, writing computer code during his leisure time. During his studies in Alabama, he had become an obsessive player of [[Multi-User Dungeons]] (MUDs)—a type of virtual [[role-playing game]]—and thereby experienced the potential of computer networks to foster large-scale collaborative projects.<ref name="trend" /><ref name="am 2006 p93" />

Inspired by the remarkably successful [[initial public offering]] of [[Netscape]] in 1995, and having accumulated capital through "speculating on interest-rate and foreign-currency fluctuations",<ref name="bookstopshere" /> Wales decided to leave the realm of financial trading and became an Internet entrepreneur.<ref name="trend" /> In 1996, he and two partners founded [[Bomis]],<ref name="bookstopshere" /><ref name="am 2006 p88" /> a web portal featuring [[User-generated content|user-generated]] [[Webring|webrings]] and, for a time, erotic photographs.<ref name="accessforall" /> Wales described it as a "guy-oriented search engine" with a market similar to that of ''[[Maxim (magazine)|Maxim]]'' magazine;<ref name="reasonmag" /><ref name="qanda" /><ref name="wirednews">{{cite news|last=Hansen|first=Evan|title=Wikipedia Founder Edits Own Bio|work=[[Wired News]]|date=December 19, 2005|url=https://www.wired.com/2005/12/wikipedia-founder-edits-own-bio/|access-date=December 26, 2017|archive-date=May 30, 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120530041136/http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/2005/12/69880|url-status=live}}</ref> the Bomis venture did not ultimately turn out to be successful.<ref name="bookstopshere" /><ref name="reasonmag" /><ref name="roy" />

=== Nupedia and the origins of Wikipedia ===
{{Main|Nupedia}}
[[File:Nupedia_logo.jpg|thumb|[[Nupedia]]'s logo]]
Though Bomis had at the time struggled to make money, it provided Wales with the funding to pursue his greater passion, an online encyclopedia.<ref name="reasonmag" /> While moderating an online discussion group devoted to the philosophy of [[Objectivism]] in the early 1990s, Wales had encountered [[Larry Sanger]], a skeptic of the philosophy.<ref name="Economist2008" /> The two had engaged in detailed debate on the subject on Wales' list and then on Sanger's, eventually meeting offline to continue the debate and becoming friends.<ref name="Economist2008" /> Years later, after deciding to pursue his encyclopedia project and seeking a credentialed academic to lead it,<ref name="am 2006 p93" /> Wales hired Sanger—who at that time was a doctoral student in philosophy at [[Ohio State University]]—to be its [[Editor in chief|editor-in-chief]], and in March 2000, Nupedia ("the free encyclopedia"), a [[Peer-review|peer-reviewed]], [[Open content|open-content]] encyclopedia, was launched.<ref name="reasonmag" /><ref name="qanda" /> The intent behind Nupedia was to have expert-written entries on a variety of topics and to sell advertising alongside the entries to make a profit.<ref name="Economist2008" /> The project was characterized by an extensive peer-review process designed to make its articles of a quality comparable to that of professional encyclopedias.<ref name="Liane Gouthro" />

{{blockquote|||quote=The idea was to have thousands of volunteers writing articles for an online encyclopedia in all languages. Initially, we found ourselves organizing the work in a very top-down, structured, academic, old-fashioned way. It was no fun for the volunteer writers because we had a lot of academic peer review committees who would criticize articles and give feedback. It was like handing in an essay at grad school, and basically intimidating to participate in.|sign=Jimmy Wales on the Nupedia project ''[[New Scientist]]'', January 31, 2007<ref name=NEWSCMARKS />}}

In an October 2009 speech, Wales recollected attempting to write a Nupedia article on Nobel Prize-winning economist [[Robert C. Merton]], but being too intimidated to submit his first draft to the prestigious finance professors who were to peer review it, even though he had published a paper on [[Black–Scholes|Option Pricing Theory]] and was comfortable with the subject matter. Wales characterized this as the moment he realized that the Nupedia model was not going to work.<ref name="YaleLecture">{{cite video|people=Jimmy Wales|date=October 7, 2009|title=The Future of Free Culture: Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Vu69Ajtlk|archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/X9Vu69Ajtlk|archive-date=December 21, 2021|url-status=live|format=SWF, FLV, FLASH|medium=Videotape|publisher=Yale University|location=New Haven, Connecticut, United States|access-date=August 18, 2011|time=43:19}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

In January 2001, Sanger was introduced to the concept of a [[wiki]] by [[extreme programming]] enthusiast [[Ben Kovitz]] after explaining to Kovitz the slow pace of growth Nupedia endured as a result of its onerous submission process.<ref name="am 2006 p91" /> Kovitz suggested that adopting the wiki model would allow editors to contribute simultaneously and incrementally throughout the project, thus breaking Nupedia's bottleneck.<ref name="am 2006 p91" /> Sanger was excited about the idea, and after he proposed it to Wales, they created the first Nupedia wiki on January 10, 2001.<ref name="am 2006 p91" /> The wiki was initially intended as a collaborative project for the public to write articles that would then be reviewed for publication by Nupedia's expert volunteers. The majority of Nupedia's experts, however, wanted nothing to do with this project, fearing that mixing amateur content with professionally researched and edited material would compromise the integrity of Nupedia's information and damage the credibility of the encyclopedia.<ref name="signon" /> Thus, the wiki project, dubbed "Wikipedia" by Sanger,<ref name="Brian Bergstein" /> went live at a separate [[Domain name|domain]] five days after its creation.<ref name="knowitall" /><ref name="roy" />

Originally, Bomis planned to make Wikipedia a profitable business.<ref name="Seth Finkelstein" /> Sanger initially saw Wikipedia primarily as a tool to aid Nupedia development. Wales feared that, at worst, it might produce "complete rubbish".<ref name="knowitall" /> To the surprise of Sanger and Wales, within a few days of launching, the number of articles on Wikipedia had outgrown that of [[Nupedia]], and a small collective of editors had formed.<ref name="2.0" /><ref name="am 2006 p93" /> It was Jimmy Wales, along with other people, who came up with the broader idea of an open-source, collaborative encyclopedia that would accept contributions from ordinary people.<ref name="Sanger2005">{{cite book|last=Sanger|first=Larry|editor1-last=DiBona|editor1-first=Chris|editor2-last=Cooper|editor2-first=Danese|editor3-last=Stone|editor3-first=Mark|chapter=The Early History of Nupedia and Wikipedia: A Memoir|title=Open Sources 2.0: The Continuing Evolution|chapter-url={{GBurl|id=q9GnNrq3e5EC|p=312}}|date=November 1, 2005|publisher=O'Reilly Media, Inc.|isbn=978-0-596-00802-4|page=[https://archive.org/details/opensources20con0000unse/page/312 312]|quote=To be clear, the idea of an open source, collaborative/encyclopedia, open to contribution by ordinary people, was entirely Jimmy's, not mine, and the funding was entirely by Bomis.

Of course, other people had had the idea...|url=https://archive.org/details/opensources20con0000unse/page/312}}</ref> Initially, neither Sanger nor Wales knew what to expect from the Wikipedia initiative.<ref name="knowitall" /><ref name="am 2006 p93" /> Many of the early contributors to the site were familiar with the model of the [[free culture movement]], and, like Wales, many of them sympathized with the [[open-source movement]].<ref name="signon" />

Wales has said that he was initially so worried about the concept of open editing, where anyone can edit the encyclopedia, that he would awaken during the night and monitor what was being added.<ref name="utopia" /><ref>{{cite book|last1=Tapscott|first1=Don|last2=Anthony D.|title=Wikinomics|page=71|year=2008|publisher=Penguin Group|isbn=978-1-59184-231-6|oclc=263665459}}</ref> Nonetheless, the cadre of early editors helped create a robust, self-regulating community that has proven conducive to the growth of the project.<ref name="reasonmag" /> In a talk at [[SXSW]] in 2016, he recalled that he wrote the first words on Wikipedia: "[[Hello world]]", a phrase computer programmers often use to test new software.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/wikipedias-first-words-hello-world-2016-3|title=The first words on Wikipedia were a nerdy programmer in-joke|website=Business Insider|date=March 13, 2016|access-date=December 26, 2017|author=Carson, Biz|archive-date=December 26, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171226182140/http://www.businessinsider.com/wikipedias-first-words-hello-world-2016-3|url-status=live}}</ref>

Sanger developed Wikipedia in its early phase and guided the project.<ref name="Brian Bergstein" /><ref name="Michael Singer" /> The broader idea he originally ascribes to other people, remarking in a 2005 memoir for ''[[Slashdot]]'' that "the idea of an open-source, collaborative encyclopedia, open to contribution by ordinary people, was entirely Jimmy's, not mine, and the funding was entirely by Bomis. Of course, other people had had the idea", adding, "the actual development of this encyclopedia was the task he gave me to work on."<ref name="slashdot" /> Sanger worked on and promoted both the Nupedia and Wikipedia projects until Bomis discontinued funding for his position in February 2002;<ref name="whyitmatters" /> Sanger resigned as editor-in-chief of Nupedia and as "chief organizer" of Wikipedia on March{{nbsp}}1 of that year.<ref name="resignation" /><ref name="digitaluniverse" /> Early on, Bomis supplied the financial backing for Wikipedia,<ref name="Michael Singer" /><ref name="seattle" /> and entertained the notion of placing advertisements on Wikipedia before costs were reduced with Sanger's departure and plans for a non-profit foundation were advanced instead.<ref name="Seth Finkelstein" />

Wales has said that he is the sole founder of Wikipedia,<ref name="Parmy Olson" /> and has publicly disputed Sanger's designation as a co-founder. Sanger and Wales were identified as co-founders at least as early as September 2001 by ''[[The New York Times]]'' and as founders in Wikipedia's first press release in January 2002.<ref name="sanger-NYTimes" /><ref name="Wikipedia Press Release of 2002" /> In August of that year, Wales identified himself as "co-founder" of Wikipedia.<ref name="Yahoo!" /> Sanger assembled on his personal webpage an assortment of links that appear to confirm the status of Sanger and Wales as co-founders.<ref name="Brian Bergstein" /><ref name="SangerLinks" /> For example, Sanger and Wales are historically cited or described in early news citations and press releases as co-founders.<ref name="Brian Bergstein" /> Wales was quoted by ''[[The Boston Globe]]'' as calling Sanger's statement "preposterous" in February 2006,<ref name="David Mehegan" /> and called "the whole debate" "silly" in an April 2009 interview.<ref name="William Paoletto" /> In 2013, Wales told ''The New York Times'' that the dispute is "the dumbest controversy in the history of the world".<ref>{{Cite news|last=Spence|first=Madeleine|date=August 1, 2021|title=Larry Sanger: 'I wouldn't trust Wikipedia — and I helped to invent it'|language=en|work=[[The Sunday Times]]|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/larry-sanger-i-wouldnt-trust-wikipedia-and-i-helped-to-invent-it-cflrhmdhx|access-date=August 1, 2021|issn=0140-0460|archive-date=August 1, 2021|archive-url=https://archive.today/20210801095207/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/larry-sanger-i-wouldnt-trust-wikipedia-and-i-helped-to-invent-it-cflrhmdhx|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2023, Wales told [[Lex Fridman]] that:<ref name="transcript">{{Cite web|last=Fridman|first=Lex|date=2023-06-18|title=Transcript for Jimmy Wales: Wikipedia {{!}} Lex Fridman Podcast #385|url=https://lexfridman.com/jimmy-wales-transcript/|access-date=2023-06-18|website=Lex Fridman|language=en-US|archive-date=October 14, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231014181329/https://lexfridman.com/jimmy-wales-transcript/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In late 2005, Wales edited his biographical entry on the [[English Wikipedia]]. Writer [[Rogers Cadenhead]] drew attention to [[Data logging|logs]] showing that in his edits to the page, Wales had removed references to Sanger as the co-founder of Wikipedia.<ref name="cadenhead" /><ref name="Dan Mitchell" /> Sanger commented that "having seen edits like this, it does seem that Jimmy is attempting to rewrite history. But this is a futile process because, in our brave new world of transparent activity and maximum communication, the truth will out."<ref name="wirednews" /><ref name="Rhys Blakely" /> Wales was also observed to have modified references to [[Bomis]] in a way that was characterized as downplaying the sexual nature of some of his former company's products.<ref name="knowitall" /><ref name="wirednews" /> Though Wales argued that his modifications were solely intended to improve the accuracy of the content,<ref name="wirednews" /> he apologized for editing his biography, a practice generally discouraged on Wikipedia.<ref name="wirednews" /><ref name="Rhys Blakely" />

==== Role ====
In a 2004 interview with ''Slashdot'', Wales outlined his vision for Wikipedia: "Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing."<ref name="roblimo" /> Although his formal designation is board member and chairman emeritus of the Wikimedia Foundation, Wales's [[social capital]] within the Wikipedia community has accorded him a status that has been characterized as [[benevolent dictator]], [[constitutional monarch]] and [[spiritual leader]].<ref name="wikipedia@nyt" /><ref name="wikiworld" /><ref name="egypt" /> In two interviews with ''[[The Guardian]]'' in 2014, Wales elaborated on his role on Wikipedia. In the first interview, he said that while he "has always rejected" the term "benevolent dictator", he does refer to himself as the "constitutional monarch". In the second, he elaborated on his "constitutional monarch" designation, saying that, like [[Queen of the United Kingdom]] [[Elizabeth II]], he has no real power.<ref name="Garside-2014-08-03" /><ref>{{cite news|last=Cadwalladr|first=Carole|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/feb/07/jimmy-wales-wikipedia-interview|title=Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales: 'It's true, I'm not a billionaire.

When Larry Sanger left Wikipedia, Wales's approach was different from Sanger's.<ref name="Anderson2011">{{cite book|last=Anderson|first=Jennifer Joline|page=76|title=Wikipedia: The Company and Its Founders|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3Ql0ic5dTmgC&pg=PA76|edition=1st|publisher=Abdo Group|year=2011|isbn=978-1-61714-812-5|access-date=February 24, 2016|archive-date=February 16, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230216014625/https://books.google.com/books?id=3Ql0ic5dTmgC&pg=PA76|url-status=live}}</ref> Wales was fairly hands-off.<ref name="Anderson2011" /> Despite involvement in other projects, Wales has denied intending to reduce his role within Wikipedia, telling ''The New York Times'' in 2008 that "Dialing down is not an option for me ... Not to be too dramatic about it, but, 'to create and distribute a free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language,' that's who I am. That's what I am doing. That's my life goal."<ref name="wikiworld" /> In May 2010, the BBC reported that Wales had relinquished many of his technical privileges on [[Wikimedia Commons]] (a Wikipedia sister project that hosts much of its multimedia content) after criticism by the project's volunteer community over what they saw as Wales's hasty and undemocratic approach to deleting sexually explicit images he believed "appeal solely to prurient interests".<ref name="bbc2010" />

Wales's association with the foundation has led to controversy. In March 2008, Wales was accused by former Wikimedia Foundation employee Danny Wool of misusing the foundation's funds for recreational purposes.<ref name="moses" /> Wool also stated that Wales had his Wikimedia credit card taken away in part because of his spending habits, a statement Wales denied.<ref name="moses" /> Then-chairperson of the foundation [[Florence Devouard]] and former foundation interim Executive Director Brad Patrick denied any wrongdoing by Wales or the foundation, saying that Wales accounted for every expense and that, for items for which he lacked receipts, he paid out of his pocket; in private, Devouard upbraided Wales for "constantly trying to rewrite the past".<ref name="ryan" />

Later in March 2008, former [[Novell]] [[computer scientist]] Jeff Merkey said that Wales had edited Merkey's Wikipedia entry to make it more favorable in return for donations to the Wikimedia Foundation, an allegation Wales dismissed as "nonsense".<ref name="Moses2" /><ref name="bbcpaidediting" /> In early 2016, Wikipedia editors perceived the WMF's [[Knowledge Engine (Wikimedia Foundation)|Knowledge Engine]] project as a [[conflict of interest]] for Wales, whose business Wikia might benefit from having the WMF spend a lot of money on research in respect to search.<ref name="Mullin2016">{{cite news|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160301082152/http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/02/head-of-wikimedia-foundation-resigns-as-tensions-with-editors-mount/|archive-date=March 1, 2016|url=https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/02/head-of-wikimedia-foundation-resigns-as-tensions-with-editors-mount/|title=Wikimedia Foundation director resigns after uproar over "Knowledge Engine"|last=Mullin|first=Joe|date=February 29, 2016|work=[[Ars Technica]]|url-status=dead}}</ref> Wikia attempted to develop a search engine but it was closed in 2009.<ref name="Mullin2016" />

In 2004, Wales and then-fellow member of the [[Wikimedia Foundation|WMF]] Board of Trustees Angela Beesley founded the for-profit company [[Wikia]].<ref name="2.0" /> Wikia is a [[wiki farm]]{{mdash}}a collection of individual wikis on different subjects, all hosted on the same website. It hosts some of the largest wikis outside Wikipedia, including [[Memory Alpha]] (devoted to ''[[Star Trek]]'') and [[Wookieepedia]] (''[[Star Wars]]'').<ref name="bjortomt" /> Another service offered by Wikia was [[Wikia Search]], an open source search engine intended to challenge [[Google]] and introduce transparency and public dialogue about how it is created into the search engine's operations,<ref name="fastcompany" /> but the project was abandoned in March 2009.<ref name="updateonwikia" /> Wales stepped down as Wikia CEO to be replaced by [[angel investor]] [[Gil Penchina]], a former vice president and general manager at [[eBay]], on June{{nbsp}}5, 2006.<ref name="CEO" /> Penchina declared Wikia to have reached profitability in September 2009.<ref name="lavallee" /> In addition to his role at Wikia, Wales is a public speaker represented by the Harry Walker Agency.<ref name="harrywalker" /><ref name="harrywalkerbio" /> He has also participated in a [[celebrity endorsement]] campaign for the Swiss watchmaker [[Maurice Lacroix]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Rębała|first=Monika|title=Król Encyklopedii|url=http://www.newsweek.pl/artykuly/krol-encyklopedii,70199,2|access-date=July 5, 2011|newspaper=Newsweek Polska|date=January 8, 2011|language=pl|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110806081758/http://www.newsweek.pl/artykuly/krol-encyklopedii%2C70199%2C2|archive-date=August 6, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>

On May 26, 2014, Google appointed Wales to serve on a seven-member committee on privacy in response to ''[[Google v.

== Political and economic views ==

=== Personal philosophy ===
[[File:JimmyWalesJI5.jpg|left|thumb|Wales at a [[Creative Commons]] board meeting in June 2008]]
Wales has previously referred to himself as an [[Objectivism|Objectivist]],<ref name="fastcompany" /> referring to the philosophy of writer [[Ayn Rand]] in the mid-20th century that emphasizes [[reason]], [[individualism]], and [[capitalism]]. Wales first encountered the philosophy through reading Rand's novel ''[[The Fountainhead]]'' during his undergraduate period<ref name="qanda" /> and, in 1992, founded an electronic mailing list devoted to "Moderated Discussion of Objectivist Philosophy".<ref name="Economist2008" /><ref name="lrb" /> Though he has stated that the philosophy "colours everything I do and think",<ref name="Economist2008" /> he has said, "I think I do a better job—than a lot of people who self-identify as Objectivists—of not pushing my point of view on other people."<ref name="zenmonkeys" />

When asked by [[Brian Lamb]] about Rand's influence on him in his appearance on [[C-SPAN]]'s ''[[Q & A (U.S. talk show)|Q&A]]'' in September 2005, Wales cited [[integrity]] and "the virtue of independence" as personally important. When asked if he could trace "the Ayn Rand connection" to a personal political philosophy at the time of the interview, Wales labeled himself a [[Libertarianism in the United States|libertarian]], qualifying his remark by referring to the [[Libertarian Party (United States)|Libertarian Party]] as "lunatics", and citing "freedom, liberty, basically individual rights, that idea of dealing with other people in a manner that is not initiating force against them" as his guiding principles.<ref name="qanda" />

An interview with Wales served as the cover feature of the June 2007 issue of the libertarian magazine ''[[Reason (magazine)|Reason]]''.<ref name="reasonmag" /> In that profile, he described his political views as "[[center-right]]".<ref name="reasonmag" /> In a 2011 interview with ''[[The Independent]]'', he expressed sympathy with the [[Occupy Wall Street]] and [[Occupy London]] protesters, saying, "You don't have to be a [[socialist]] to say it's not right to take money from everybody and give it to a few rich people.

=== Development and management of Wikipedia ===
[[File:Jimbo_at_Bengali_Wikipedia_10th_anniversary_celebration_gala_event,_Dhaka_(03).JPG|left|thumb|Wales at the tenth-anniversary celebration of the [[Bengali Wikipedia]]]]
Wales cites [[Austrian School]] economist [[Friedrich Hayek]]'s essay, "[[The Use of Knowledge in Society]]", which he read as an undergraduate,<ref name="knowitall" /> as "central" to his thinking about "how to manage the Wikipedia project".<ref name="reasonmag" /> Hayek argued that [[Dispersed knowledge|information is decentralized]]—that each individual only knows a small fraction of what is known collectively—and that as a result, decisions are best made by those with local knowledge, rather than by a central authority.<ref name="reasonmag" /> Wales reconsidered Hayek's essay in the 1990s while reading about the [[open source movement]], which advocated for the collective development and free distribution of [[Free software|software]]. He was particularly moved by "[[The Cathedral and the Bazaar]]", an essay which was later adapted into a [[The Cathedral and the Bazaar|book of the same name]], by one of the founders of the movement, [[Eric S. Raymond]], as it "opened [his] eyes to the possibilities of [[mass collaboration]]."<ref name="knowitall" />

From his background in finance, and working as a futures and options trader, Wales developed an interest in [[game theory]] and the effect of incentives on human collaborative activity. He identifies this fascination as a significant basis for his developmental work on the Wikipedia project.<ref name="humanities" /> He has rejected the notion that his role in promoting Wikipedia is [[Altruism (ethics)|altruistic]], which he defines as "sacrificing your own values for others", and he states that the idea that "participating in a benevolent effort to share information is somehow destroying your own values makes no sense to me".<ref name="karasz" /> {{clearleft}}

On May 14, 2014, Wales strongly reacted to the [[European Court of Justice]] (ECJ)'s ruling on the [[Google v. Gonzalez|right of individuals to request the removal of information from Google's search results]]. He stated to the BBC that the ruling was "one of the most wide-sweeping internet censorship rulings that I've ever seen".<ref>{{cite news|last=Lee|first=Dave|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27407017|title=Google ruling 'astonishing', says Wikipedia founder Wales|work=BBC News|date=May 14, 2014|access-date=December 26, 2017|archive-date=September 13, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170913132334/http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27407017|url-status=live}}</ref> In early June 2014, the ''TechCrunch'' media outlet interviewed Wales on the subject, as he had been invited by Google to join an advisory committee that the corporation had formed as an addition to the formal process that the ECJ requested from Google to manage such requests.<ref name="Nat">{{cite web|last=Lomas|first=Natasha|title=Jimmy Wales Blasts Europe's "Right To Be Forgotten" Ruling As A "Terrible Danger"|url=https://techcrunch.com/2014/06/07/wales-on-right-to-be-forgotten/?ncid=tcdaily|website=TechCrunch|publisher=AOL Inc|access-date=June 9, 2014|date=June 8, 2014|archive-date=June 12, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140612002627/http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/07/wales-on-right-to-be-forgotten/?ncid=tcdaily|url-status=live}}</ref>

The May 2014 ECJ ruling required swift action from Google to implement a process that allowed people to directly contact the corporation about the removal of information that they believe is outdated or irrelevant. Google's [[Larry Page]] stated that 30 percent of requests received by Google since the ruling was made were categorized as "other". Wales explained in email responses that he was contacted by Google on May 28, 2014, and "The remit of the committee is to hold public hearings and issue recommendations—not just to Google but to legislators and the public."<ref name="Nat" /> When asked about his view on the ECJ's "right to be forgotten" ruling, Wales replied:

{{blockquote|quote=I think the decision will have no impact on people's [[right to privacy]], because I don't regard truthful information in court records published by court order in a newspaper to be private information. If anything, the decision is likely to simply muddle the interesting philosophical questions and make it more difficult to make real progress on privacy issues. In the case of truthful, non-defamatory information obtained legally, I think there is no possibility of any defensible "right" to censor what other people are saying. It is important to avoid language like "data" because we aren't talking about "data"—we are talking about the suppression of knowledge.<ref name="Nat" />}}

Wales then provided further explanation, drawing a comparison with Wikipedia: "You do not have a right to use the law to prevent Wikipedia editors from writing truthful information, nor do you have a right to use the law to prevent Google from publishing truthful information." Wales concluded with an indication of his ideal outcome: "A part of the outcome should be the very strong implementation of a right to free speech in Europe—essentially the language of the First Amendment in the U.S."<ref name="Nat" />
