Contacts

Press Inquiries: Please leave a message with my associate Terry in the USA at +1 727 231 0101, and I will get back to you. Please use that number for press inquiries only! I am not joking about this. Other inquiries to that phone number will be ignored.

You will probably be joyful after you contact the help desk. Remember, if you're with the press, please call Terry at the number above. If you are not with the press, do not call Terry at that number. Under any circumstances.

Other inquiries can be sent by e-mail to jwales at wikia dot com. (Press inquiries by email are also always welcome.) To make sure I see your e-mail, the best way to slip it by my spam filters is to mention Wikipedia in the subject or body of the e-mail.

You may edit this page

Really, you can. :-P

This is my user page. I like to keep it a certain way. But, the thing is, I trust you. I trust that you'll add something here that makes me smile, that informs me, or that helps to inform others. If I have things in a certain format, I trust that you'll respect that format. Actually, scratch that. Since this page is so simple and ugly, my ultimate dream is that some person who thinks it is fun will come along and make it look as perfect as Angela's user page. See that link up there: 'edit this page'? Go for it. It's a wiki world! – Jimbo

Note that quite a few Wikipedians watch my user page and will edit mercilessly or even remove altogether any alterations made. This is a wiki, after all.

Comments on how this page currently looks should be directed to this talk page.
