We keep hearing new rumors about women Jimmy Wales has been involved with. But why tell you? Some Wales critics say it's not the sex, it's the money. But it's hard to separate the two when charges fly that Wales took a girlfriend on trips paid for by the nonprofit WIkipedia. The latest names linked to Wales: Barbara Cohen, formerly an editor with the Public Library of Science, left; and Julie Melton, an online-learning expert, right. Wales's relationship with Cohen, former Wikipedia insiders say, contributed to the breakup of her marriage. Melton stayed in Wales's apartment, though she's said to be seeing someone else. Yes, yes, I know, enough about the sex — did he edit their Wikipedia entries?

Jimbo has good taste in ladies. PLoS FTW!
No more ginger head pics!
@Annalee Newitz: Girl on the left looks like a female McGyver.
@sample032: Female?
I thought the girl on the left was the cross-country diaper wearing psycho astronaut chick. Seriously, that's her booking photo right?
Is Jimbo jewish or does he just have a thing for jewish chicks?
girl on the right - 10 on the jimmy scale
I cannot decide whether the (nominal) brainiacs or über-douche are the victim here, though having waded through this for a couple days I know with certainty that I am.
I don't even think my dyke friends would even hit that...
