Oddly enough, at time of going to press, the last contribution to en.wiki by J. Wales was:

His reply:

@Ganesha811: - it looks to me like every answer is "Wales" or "Jimbo" or "Jimmy". An interesting concept for the humorous-crossword world, but ultimately a "one trick pony" that might give some of our readers 10 seconds of chuckles, but offend others. From the 1st issue of The Signpost that I've edited, I've stated that we won't use humor as a put down for groups of people. This would come close - so let's take a pass.

I'm utterly perplexed as to which readers would be "offended" or what this has to do with "groups of people" (Jimbo being, as far as I'm aware, an individual). Does he really have that large of a fanbase on enwiki?

I guess you haven’t heard about the Jimbo Hivemind (sometimes called the Jimmind for short even though that name sucks) consisting of a few dozen clones of Wikipedia’s favourite founder.

Oh I had the answer as "Jumbo".

What does the Signpost need with a crossword, anyhow?

How revealing.

Smallbones and the rest of you are way off base...

Better luck next time!

The Signpost crosswords are not even crosswords, in any sense of the word (American or British). They're more like what you'd find on a kid's menu.

Come on, that's just mean.
