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!

- 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!

- 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.
