My original concept was to provide a free encyclopedia for every single person in the world.

One of the ways that Microsoft beat Apple way back in the day was that they were a lot more open; today, in the world I come from, the free software and open-source world, Microsoft is not generally viewed as open; they're viewed as proprietary.

I think people have to recognise that the traditional modes of authority weren't that great.

If I had some information, the last thing I would ever do with it is send it to Wikileaks.

I worry about censorship in many parts of the world.

The core of Wikipedia is something people really believe in. That is too valuable for the world to screw it up.

There's plenty of rude stuff online. People say things online that they would be ashamed to say face to face. If people could treat others as though they were speaking face to face, that would be huge.
