This talkpage has been mentioned by a media organization:

Matthew Gault (8 December 2021). "Wikipedia Editors Very Mad About Jimmy Wales' NFT of a Wikipedia Edit". Vice Media. The trouble began when Wales posted an announcement about the auction on his user talk page—a kind of message board where users communicate directly with each other.

A brownie for you!

This diff explains the situation quite well I think, but I'm also happy to answer questions. I'd just like more eyes on it. The tl;dr is that we have an error in Wikipedia for more than a decade on what likely seems like a very minor point, but which has caused annoyance by the subject for many years. There are now overwhelming sources to correct the error, but I'm holding off on making the edit myself due to what is arguably a conflict of interest (I don't think so, but out of an abundance of caution I want to be careful. I think the experienced BLP editors who visit this noticeboard will do a good job of reviewing this. Jimbo Wales (talk) 09:49, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
