LONDON—Coming to for the first time in decades, Jimmy Wales reportedly glanced up Thursday to realize he had gotten sucked into a Wikipedia rabbit hole for the past 20

but I got so wrapped up in Wikipedia that I completely forgot to do any of it. Oh well.” Wales added that at this point it was time for him to move on to some of his other interests as soon as he looked up one more thing.
