Jimmy Wales looks tired and mildly distracted, his eyes red and raw as he holds court before a small group of Wikipedians - those volunteer editors, writers and administrators who have helped turn a collaborative, not-for-profit, online encyclopaedia into a global phenomenon. We are backstage at the Victoria Rooms in Bristol, where Wales has just wowed an audience of 650 with a well-rehearsed speech on Wikipedia past, present and future.

Wales, dressed from head to toe in black, his beard closely cropped, is in the middle of a visit to the UK to raise funds, to thank volunteers from the British arm of the Wikimedia Foundation and to mark the tenth anniversary of the website. It is a hectic schedule.

He is a reluctant celebrity, yet for 50 days either side of Christmas he was arguably the most overexposed person on the planet. Wales was fronting a fundraising campaign in which, every time someone visited the website, his face appeared on screen. Given Wikipedia's popularity, Wales's plea and face were seen by more than half a billion people during that period. He grimaces when I bring up the subject, pointing out that he only agreed to do it after user-testing showed that it was the most effective way of meeting the $16m target (the site runs on a bud­get of just over $20m a year). "Really, it's a bit naff," he says.
