He was a prominent figure during the Enlightenment and is best-known for serving as co-founder and chief editor of and contributor to the Encyclopédie.
Jimmy Wales is the modern day equivalent of Diderot with his Wikipedia, a resource our writers use daily to counter the vast right wing disinformation machine.

It is incorrect (and for some, downright offensive) to say for Jimmy Wales that Wikipedia is "his". He creates very little of its content. And, he created very few of the guidelines and policies that govern it today. That credit goes more to Larry Sanger, the man who proposed a wiki architecture to Wales. Sanger *named* it "Wikipedia", for heaven's sake.
Jimmy Wales does a fairly good job, though, of lying about the founding of Wikipedia. Obviously, he doesn't want people to know the truth, as he erases it:
