Conversations · Jimmy Wales says it is possible to have a collaborative, trusting world online · 27 May 2026 podcast

It shouldn't take sides.

Therefore, what we need to do is to find a way to work together.

So maybe you and I don't agree about a certain topic, but we can probably, if we're working together in kindness and good faith,

present the debate in a fair way that we can both point to and say, yeah, this is, we're proud of this, like this explains, say, the issue of abortion, but it doesn't take sides.

I mean, it was interesting because I thought, what does this man do when he goes out to a restaurant?

I mean, we do sort of have to use public restrooms.

So here we are a trust already, aren't we?

Ultimately, yeah.

And I was like, I think it's a really good public service to have clean restrooms.

So actually, around the same time, there was a journalist.

This story appeared saying, oh, basically, they said, I heard about this website where apparently when people come and vandalize, and then the community does a really good job of cleaning up after.

And to test this, I went through one night, and I vandalized 10 articles.

And lo and behold, by morning, it was all fixed.

And it was like, great, Wikipedia's great.

And I emailed the journalist.

I'm like, well, if you heard about a neighborhood...

where, quite famously, the residents all go out and pick up the litter, you wouldn't test them by coming and dumping trash on the street.

Like, please don't do that.

That's not the right way to talk about Wikipedia.

So, anyway.
