 ==You are not good friends to Mr Wales.  Shame on you!!== 
 I move that from here on out, no one call Mr. Wales Jimbo.  Clearly, choosing to be voluntarily called something that could otherwise be seen as an insult to one's intelligence or even his manliness is a sign of self-abuse(which everyone has the right to.)  However, if we care for Mr. Wales, surely some consideration is due of the fact that he willingly, nay, actively encourages people to call him by a name that conjures images of hillbillyism, incest, and vagrancy when the original appellation itself is one of considerable majesty and tradition.  Respecting people's wishes on what to be called is one thing; what we are doing is -enabling- masochistic behavior that not only inflicts serious damage to the character of Mr. Wales, but possibly carries this damage over to Wikipedia's credibility.  I can imagine many a ""computer illiterate"" reading the various articles about Mr. Wales and saying, ""Encyclopedias run by someone named Jimbo, now -that- is the reason I don't want to ever get on the internet.""  This may be close-minded, but I can't say that I blame them. 

 If someone had come up with Einstein's insights before him, if he called himself Jimbo they would have been rejected flat-out, rightly, on principle.  If Genghis Khan had been Jimbo Khan the Mongols wouldn't have followed him to a garden of every earthly delight, let alone to the trials of conquest.  Fate is a cruel mistress that she did not inspire the parents of some despot like Joseph Stalin to inflict him with such a charisma-cancelling, horror-inflicting name, for surely the gulags would have been only in his mind, not in reality, had this been the way of destiny. 

 This appeal is not to Mr. Wales himself, for he must truly be beyond help, in an ivory tower of sorts, cavorting around as though being named Jimbo is acceptable in civilized society.  This appeal is to those giving him the power to disregard every measure of decency known to mankind, by continuing to honor a request-allbeit one that can be made only in the good faith provided by accidentally walking out of your house naked and wondering why everyone stares-that negates the many good qualities the man has.  If you cared for him, would you let him commit suicide even if it were his wish?  Would you let him go to a photoshoot in a clown's outfit?  Would you continue to allow the man to do something worse than the aforementioned examples?  Well that's what you're going to have to ask yourself.  Do some soul searching, and do a pragmatic analysis of the facts.  I'm surprised I had to be the one to say it, but enough fooling around.  The farce has gone on long enough.  Who will follow me in donating the funds for a legal name change?  Everyone who cares for Mr. Wales, that's who."
