Jimmy Wales: Fox News Is Wrong, No Shake Up

Contrary to several reports, Wikipedia's Founder Jimmy Wales is not relinquishing his editorial control of Wikipedia and its related projects. On Friday, Fox News reported that "a shakeup is underway at the top levels of Wikipedia ...Wales is no longer able to delete files, remove administrators, assign projects or edit any content, sources say. Essentially, they say, he has gone from having free reign over the content and people involved in the websites to having the same capabilities of a low-level administrator." The report was picked up by other news outlets, like Venturebeat and CNET . An interesting story--- except it's not true according to Jimmy Wales in an e-mail on Sunday. Wales says the Fox News reporter hasn't even tried to contact him to discuss the alleged "shakeup."
