Various poems dedicated to Jimbo Wales
The World is a Parliament with 7 billion seats,

Thanks to Jimbo Wales and his amazing feat.

We all have a say at the end of the day,

Even if we're just a random number editing a street.

It's a Wiki world Jimmy says, so let's give him a cheer,

''Hip hip Hooray! Thank you Jimbo for my seat!''

Jimbo Wales is my friend

I don't even know where to begin,

and even though we've never met

his works with Wikipedia will hopefully never end

In search of knowledge, I found my home

In the wiki world I'm never alone

I found a place thats kind to me

In the wiki world I'm truely free

I'm a wikipedian all the way to the bone

With Jimbo Wales I'm never alone

Cyberspace sometimes is scary

In fact, it even gets hairy

But Wikipedia is cool

I wrote a page 'bout my school

And Jimbo is not just contrary

Jimbo wales is pretty rad

''Wikipedia is far from bad'

He even lets us edit his user space

telling old school encyclopedias: "in your face"

i hope this poem makes him glad

Jimbo Wales is really couth

He's a great guy online, forsooth

'Cause he made Wikipedia

It's not a sticky-pedia

And that's the Wikitruth!

All over the world, people cheer

Wikipedia is Wikihere

Tell the Wikitruth, it's Wikitastic

Everyone here is so bombastic

So let's all jump and Wikicheer

Jimbo Wales is a pioneer!

jimmy:

like in sensuality, only in this we seek

the proliferation of information

subjugation, as principle: laughed, she did,

over protest, she still laughs.

like a finger tracing the surface, not

it's always so permissable.

Marks on a window like slate on ice

Who are we?

Where are we going?

The voices raise

Dark howls across my soul

Like a traffic cone at night

Wikipedia and Jimbo Wales Number 1!

A Wikhaiku:

Wikipedia

Jimbo is a god to me

Wikipedia

''The pursuit of knowledge

''Never complete,

But with Jimbo,

The journey is an easy feat.

Wikipedians, over here!

Let's all give a Wikicheer!

Let us shout to the heavens above

The guidelines we have grown to love

Be kind!

Be bold!

But treat the new

Just like the old!

Improve!

Help out!

Check sources whenever

You're in doubt!

Ask questions!

Never be afraid

To ask Wikipeers

To give you aid.

Share Wikipedia

With everyone -

But as long as you're here,

Keep having fun!

Jimbo Wales:A Hiaku

He's named Jimbo Wales

He founded this great wiki

Which holds much knowledge T h e E d i t o r 1 1  1 1  22:02, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


 * There once was a man, Jimbo Wales
 * And on Bomis was he was having bad sales
 * So he made up the Wiki
 * It wasn't that tricky
 * And to him is now whom we all hail!
 * Will (talk) 13:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Deep amidst the internets, where tempers flare and penii grow,
 * there dwells a visionary sort, whose date of birth I do not know.
 * Like Merlin, with a magick pure, he leads to truth by means obscure,
 * obliging serfdom to demure.
 * Welcome to the show.


 * Anyone can edit here, so let's all have an edit war
 * (where falsehood quits 'cause truth attrits) and wind up where we were before.
 * Where he who wields the pruning knife, so ardently renouncing life,
 * and revels most in pointless strife
 * can settle any score.


 * Come and help us steer the ship! State your piece and cast your vote.
 * Adrift upon a sea of facts, democracy will help us float.
 * If thirty Helens can't be wrong, the ballot box will keep us strong.
 * Veracity, thy name is Throng!
 * Unless the Shepherd gets your goat.


 * A vote is still a vote, of course! So have your say and have no fear.
 * Unless of course it's not, in which case all your say can disappear.
 * Consensus that is ill-defined, deletes to which we plebes are blind, where Oversight is out of mind,
 * and "never mind!" the cheer.


 * Behind the curtain (never mind) doth sit the One* who is the Founder.
 * Alone immune from Siren song, he clears the rocks where we might flounder.
 * (*There was another, no big deal, ex post facto he weren't real! How would Tenzing Norgay feel?)
 * There is no judgement sounder.


 * And so I come to render praise as prose upon the Waleing wall,
 * this monument to greatness, unblushing in its gall.
 * But gushing supplicants debase the higher purpose of this place. Try not to get egg on your face
 * should Humpty ever fall.
