I’m Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia and author of THE SEVEN RULES OF TRUST. AMA!

Hello Wikipedians and Reddit,

 

Today is the publication day for my book, THE SEVEN RULES OF TRUST! This book is a celebration of Wikipedia and all the amazing things Wikipedians have done to help make Wikipedia the biggest collection of knowledge in the history of the world!

 

Trust is a treasure. But it is not inanimate, like gold or gems. Trust is a living thing that can and must be cultivated. This book reveals how Wikipedia has become a global authority—in the same two decades when the public’s trust in everything else, from government to social media, has trended backward. 

 

Ask me about:

*All things Wikipedia

*Some of the early-day lessons that I learned from Wikipedia

*The trust crisis, and if it can be rebuilt

*AI

*What can organizations and institutions do to rebuild trust

*Whatever is on your mind!
