Well I oly know that I wouldnt like it if people
talked about me in the third person on an open list --
especially if the comments were embarrasingly
complimentary.

Even if you were just CEO of Bomis and Wikipedia
was
started by someone else, you'd still deserve
an
article. But as head of a giant free encyclopedia
project, the biggest and most useful wiki in
existance, you definately deserve one. There are
already stubs about you in other langauages, such
as
polish. Why can't these accomplishments be
enough?

The irony here is that Jimbo can't really /prevent/
us from creating an
article about him without using a bit of
heavy-handed dictatorial power
(which he usually seems loath to do).
So, it would seem, that if enough of us think there
ought to be an article
about him, his "permission" would be hardly
necessary. :)
