::: Here are the questions that were posed earlier by Cla68 and Youreallycan: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&action;=edit&oldid;=472737585  

 The Wikipedia project as bounded by the oversight of the Wikimedia foundation has imo from my experience and investigations, masses of copyright violating uploads and cut and copy paste content currently hosted on its servers. - Good faith is  a consideration here in regards to SOPA - The foundation and its tentacles are in no way promoting or encouraging the uploading and sharing of copyrighted content, although an objective position imo would suggest a raised request for evidence of file ownership prior to upload would be a protective position, and although there are copyright investigations opened - they are not well actioned and can take months and even over a year to action. Raising the profiles of these issues would further protect the project from litigation resulting from any more restrictive legislation, as also would the restriction of unconfirmed accounts from the ability to publish via wikimedia servers, more than limited content additions without any review. [[WP:PEND|Pending protection]] although rejected at a en wikipedia poll would have been beneficial in this regard.  Youreallycan 

  clarified that the foundation was allowing equal weight to any vote, IP addresses - sockpuppets (I added this as the wide open aspect of the vote meant that there was no control in regard to multiple voting at all) drive by anti sopa activists, unconfirmed accounts, people that had never previously edited en wikipedia, and last but not least regular en wikipedia editors - all were given the same weight in the vote by the foundation. I expected the process to be as usual and as per your comment in the interview quoted below, who voted for this? wikipedia editors, the wikipedia community. I was reported to the ANI for tagging the new users and IP addresses as [[WP:SPA]] in the voting section as we usually do in such discussion and AFD discussions, well, all such discussion really, the discussion is here [[Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive736#SPA Tagging at Wikipedia:SOPA initiative/Action]]  Youreallycan 

 That declared position from Philippe (WMF) seems incompatible with what [http://articles.cnn.com/2012-01-17/tech/tech_web_wikipedia-sopa-blackout-qa_1_jimmy-wales-wikipedia-community-anti-piracy?_s=PM:TECH Jimmy told CNN in an interview on the 17th Jan] -''' CNN: Who voted exactly? - Wales: The Wikipedia community. These are people who are editors of the website.''' -  Jimmy, your comment to CNN about the  the wikipedia community being the voters seems at odds with that declared by the foundation (and followed) -  did you know the foundations position as to who was allowed to , encouraged to join in the vote? As it turned out, such users that are not counted in a discussion to delete a single article were counted in a vote to close the whole project for 24 hours.  Youreallycan 

  

 The question is: Jimmy, your comment to CNN about the  the wikipedia community being the voters seems at odds with that declared by the foundation (and followed) -  did you know the foundation's position as to who was allowed to , encouraged to join in the vote?  

 Cla68 wanted to ask you to answer, but the whole thing got erased.
