Bob Enyart notes the intense ironies in the wailing of Jimmy, founder of Wikipedia, and his complaint that WorldNetDaily is harming his reputation by pointing out that he sold porn for a living during the years when he launched the perverse Wikipedia faux encyclopedia.

b “Even Wales has been caught airbrushing his Wikipedia entry–eighteen times in the past year. He is particularly sensitive about references to the porn traffic on his Web portal. ‘Adult content’ or ‘glamour photography’ are the terms that he prefers, though, as one user pointed out on the site, they are perhaps not the most precise way to describe lesbian strip-poker threesomes. (In January, Wales agreed to a compromise: ‘erotic photography’).” [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Wales[/url]

JIMMY WALES REWRITES HISTORY (STARTING WITH HIS OWN)
Posted by Seth Fiegerman on March 28, 2010 · 1 Comment
In general, I try to avoid using Wikipedia as my main source when writing these posts, but I’ll make an exception in this case because for Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia essentially serves as his autobiography. Unfortunately, as is true with many autobiographies, Wales has chosen to downplay or sugar coat some pivotal parts of his life.
…
Finally, he created a site called Bomis. Though Bomis ultimately proved to be a failure, especially compared to Wikipedia, it was more popular than his previous sites and represented a step forward in Wales’ pursuit to build the next big thing on the Internet. Like Wikipedia, Wales’ first site mostly featured user-generated content that could help visitors discover new sites about software, celebrities and more. However, Bomis also sold erotic photos and included a “guy-oriented search engine” that led users to pages and pages of naked ladies.
This site was hailed as an online rival to Maxim and Playboy, and helped establish Wales’ reputation as a “Porn King,” a title he has tried desperately to replace with something more respectable in recent years. According to Wired, he has repeatedly edited his own Wikipedia biography to rephrase and omit most of his Bomis years. Yet, the two sites are deeply tied to one another. Bomis provided Wales with the money to create Nupedia (the early version of Wikipedia), and in fact, Bomis actually hosted this site for a time. In theory, the missions of the two sites were very similar as well: one was determined to make all the world’s information easily accessible and the other was determined to do the same for all the world’s beautiful women.
