 JasonR 

Hey there.

I wandered across your post to Ed Poor's talk page regarding User:JasonR's access level.  This may have already been answered, but I don't see it here...

JasonR was an employee of Bomis before Wikipedia took off, and he did some programming work for Wikimedia and was granted rights for doing a few specific tasks in software management.  This was before teh wiki had graphics or any sort of popularity.   To my knowledge he no longer works for the foundation or Wikia.

Happy editing to you.  talk "
