 Wales is passionate about the '[[wiki]]' format – on his [[wp:User:Jimbo Wales|Wikipedia user page]], he encourages others to edit his page; in the faith that any of the 2,000 other [[Wikipedian]]s who monitor his page via their 'watchlists' will revert any 'bad faith' edits.  For any editor who is unsure of their own motives, simply ask ''[[wp:Wikipedia:What Would Jimbo Do?|What Would Jimbo Do?]]''.
