= = = Autobiography = = =
Wark 's autobiography Wark On was published on 9 April 2009 . The book contained material that gained media interest . Wark stated that he made " a small fortune by flogging tickets for the FA Cup Final to a shady underworld ticket tout " . " Wark used his share of the cash to help pay for his wedding while a team @-@ mate bankrolled a house extension . He added : " Other teams had done it , so why shouldn ’ t we ? Nowadays it 's illegal but in those days it was regarded as a perk . " The report also highlighted Wark 's " dig " at the current " crop of stars " at Anfield . He said : " None of that lot would have been good enough in my time at Anfield . "
= = Playing style and personality = =
Wark played as a central defender , midfielder and , occasionally , as a striker . Wark was an unusual player ; he was able to play as a defensive midfielder yet break forward to score . According to former team @-@ mate Terry Butcher , this was because his colleagues would drop back to cover for him : " I played with John Wark , who was a sitting midfielder but was one of the top scorers in England and Europe . If you see it , then do it , as long as the others spot it and cover for you . "
Wark was not a " supremely talented " player , but , according to football journalist Jim White , one who espoused team @-@ work and team spirit : " There is no question that the ' one @-@ for @-@ all , all @-@ for @-@ one ' mentality generated in the Anfield dressing room was the engine that drove the great team . With players such as Alan Kennedy , John Wark , Sammy Lee and Craig Johnston , nobody could claim this was a collection of top @-@ notch operators in the manner , say , of the current Real Madrid . Every week , they played as an entity greater than the sum of its parts . " He has been described as " a defensive midfielder with an astonishing goalscoring record " .
Over the years , Wark has become closely associated with his moustache . Owen Slot described the player as " Ipswich 's immortal moustache " , while Wark himself notes " ... it is something of a trademark , even if people are always calling me Bruce ... "

Bomis ( / <unk> / to rhyme with " promise " ) was a dot @-@ com company best known for supporting the creations of free @-@ content online @-@ encyclopedia projects Nupedia and Wikipedia . It was founded in 1996 by Jimmy Wales , Tim Shell and Michael Davis . Davis became acquainted with Wales after hiring him at Chicago Options Associates in 1994 , and Wales became friends with Shell through mailing lists discussing philosophy . The primary business of Bomis was the sale of advertising on the Bomis.com search portal .
The company initially tried a number of ideas for content , including being a directory of information about Chicago . The site subsequently focused on content geared to a male audience , including information on sporting activities , automobiles and women . Bomis became successful after focusing on X @-@ rated media . " Bomis Babes " was devoted to erotic images ; the " Bomis Babe Report " featured adult pictures . Bomis Premium , available for an additional fee , provided explicit material . " The Babe Engine " helped users find erotic content through a web search engine . The advertising director for Bomis noted that 99 percent of queries on the site were for nude women .
Bomis created Nupedia as a free online encyclopedia ( with content submitted by experts ) but it had a tedious , slow review process . Wikipedia was initially launched by Bomis to provide content for Nupedia , and was a for @-@ profit venture ( a Bomis subsidiary ) through the end of 2002 . As the costs of Wikipedia rose with its popularity , Bomis ' revenues declined as result of the dot @-@ com crash . Since Wikipedia was a drain on Bomis ' resources , Wales and philosophy graduate student Larry Sanger decided to fund the project as a charity ; Sanger was laid off from Bomis in 2002 . Nupedia content was merged into Wikipedia , and it ceased in 2003 .
The non @-@ profit Wikimedia Foundation began in 2003 with a Board of Trustees composed of Bomis ' three founders ( Wales , Davis and Shell ) and was first headquartered in St. Petersburg , Florida , Bomis ' location . Wales used about US $ 100 @,@ 000 of revenue from Bomis to fund Wikipedia before the decision to shift the encyclopedia to non @-@ profit status . Wales stepped down from his role as CEO of Bomis in 2004 . Shell served as CEO of the company in 2005 , while on the Wikimedia Foundation board of trustees . Wales edited Wikipedia in 2005 to remove the characterizations of Bomis as providing softcore pornography , which attracted media attention ; Wales expressed regret for his actions . The Atlantic gave Bomis the nickname " Playboy of the Internet " , and the term caught on in other media outlets . Scholars have described Bomis as a provider of softcore pornography .

Jimmy Wales left a study track at Indiana University as a PhD candidate to work in finance before completing his doctoral dissertation . In 1994 Wales was hired by Michael Davis , CEO of finance company Chicago Options Associates , as a trader focusing on futures contracts and options . Wales was adept at determining future movements of foreign currencies and interest rates ; he was successful in Chicago , became independently wealthy , and was director of research at Chicago Options Associates from 1994 to 2000 . He became acquainted with Tim Shell from email lists discussing philosophy .
Wales wanted to participate in the online @-@ based entrepreneurial ventures which were increasingly popular and successful during the mid @-@ 1990s . His experience ( from gaming in his youth ) impressed on him the importance of networking . Wales was interested in computer science , experimenting with source code on the Internet and improving his skill at computer programming . In his spare time after work at Chicago Options Associates , Wales constructed his own web browser . While at the firm , he noted the successful 1995 initial public offering of Netscape Communications .
= = = Foundation = = =
Wales co @-@ founded Bomis in 1996 , with business associates Tim Shell , and his then @-@ manager Michael Davis , as a for @-@ profit corporation with joint ownership . Wales was its chief manager . In 1998 he moved from Chicago to San Diego to work for Bomis , and then to St. Petersburg , Florida ( where the company subsequently relocated ) .
The staff at Bomis was originally about five employees . Its 2000 staff included programmer Toan Vo and system administrator Jason Richey ; Wales employed his high @-@ school friend and best man in his second wedding , Terry Foote , as advertising director . In June 2000 , Bomis was one of five network partners of Ask Jeeves . The majority of the revenue that came in to Bomis was generated through advertising . The most successful time for Bomis was during its venture as a member of the NBC web portal <unk> ; this collapsed at the end of the dot @-@ com bubble .
Although Bomis is not an acronym , the name stemmed from " Bitter Old Men in Suits " ( as Wales and Shell called themselves in Chicago ) . The site began as a web portal , trying a number of ideas ( including serving as an access point for information about Chicago ) . It later focused on male @-@ oriented content , including information on sporting activities , automobiles and women .

Working from the Open Directory Project , Bomis created and maintained hundreds of <unk> on topics related to lad culture . In 1999 the company introduced the Bomis Browser , which helped users block online pop @-@ up ads . Its <unk> on Star Wars was considered a useful resource for information on Star Wars : Episode I – The Phantom Menace . Additional <unk> included sections helping users find information on Casablanca , Hunter S. Thompson , Farah Fawcett , Geri <unk> of the Spice Girls and Snake Eyes . " Bomis : The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Ring " , devoted to Buffy the Vampire Slayer , organized over 50 sites related to the program . Sheila Jeffreys noted in her Beauty and <unk> that in 2004 Bomis maintained " The Lipstick Fetish Ring " , which helped users with a particular attraction to women in makeup .
Bomis became successful after it focused on X @-@ rated and erotic media . Advertising generated revenue which enabled the company to fund other websites , and the site published suggestive pictures of professional models . In addition to Bomis the company maintained <unk> and <unk> , which featured pictures of nude women . About ten percent of Bomis ' revenue was derived from pornographic films and blogs .
The website included a segment devoted to erotic images , " Bomis Babes " , and a feature enabled users to submit recommended links to other sites appealing to a male audience . Peer @-@ to @-@ peer services provided by the site helped users find other websites about female celebrities , including Anna Kournikova and Pamela Anderson . In the Bomis Babes section was the Bomis Babe Report , begun in 2000 , with pictures of porn stars in a blog format . The Bomis Babe Report produced original erotic material , including reports on pornographic film actors and celebrities who had posed nude . It was referred to as The Babe Report for short .
Wales referred to the site 's softcore pornography as " glamour photography " , and Bomis became familiar to Internet users for its erotic images . During this period Wales was photographed steering a yacht with a peaked cap , posing as a sea captain with a female professional model on either side of him . In the photograph , the women were wearing panties and T @-@ shirts advertising Bomis .
A subscription section , Bomis Premium , provided access to adult content and erotic material ; A three @-@ day trial was US $ 2 @.@ 95 . While Bomis Babes provided nude images of females to subscribers , Bomis Premium featured lesbian sexual practices and female anatomy . Bomis created the Babe Engine , which helped users find erotic material online through a web search engine . According to Bomis advertising director Terry Foote , 99 percent of searches on the site related to nude women .
= = = Nupedia and Wikipedia = = =
Bomis is best known for supporting the creation of free @-@ content online @-@ encyclopedia projects Nupedia and Wikipedia . Tim Shell and Michael David continued their partnership with Wales during the 2000 Nupedia venture . Larry Sanger met Jimmy Wales through an e @-@ mail communication group about philosophy and objectivism , and joined Bomis in May 1999 . Sanger was a graduate student working towards a PhD degree in philosophy , with research focused on epistemology ; he received his degree from Ohio State University , moving to San Diego to help Bomis with its encyclopedia venture . At the time Sanger joined Bomis the company had a total workforce of two employees with help from programmers .
Sanger and Wales began Nupedia with resources from Bomis ; at the beginning of 2000 , the company agreed to provide early financing for Nupedia from its profits . Nupedia went live in March , when Wales was CEO of Bomis ; Sanger was Nupedia 's editor @-@ in @-@ chief . Nupedia 's reading comprehension was intended for high @-@ school graduates , and Bomis set its goal : " To set a new standard for breadth , depth , timeliness and lack of bias , and in the fullness of time to become the most comprehensive encyclopedia in the history of humankind . "
Although Bomis began a search for experts to vet Nupedia articles , this proved tedious . In August 2000 Nupedia had more than 60 academics contributing to the peer @-@ review process on the site , most with doctor of philosophy or doctor of medicine degrees . Scholars wishing to contribute to Nupedia were required to submit their credentials via fax for verification . At that time , Bomis was attempting to obtain advertising revenue for Nupedia and the company was optimistic that it could fund the project with ad space on <unk>
Wikipedia began as a feature of <unk> on January 15 , 2001 , later known as Wikipedia Day . It was originally intended only to generate draft articles for Nupedia , with finished articles moved to the latter . Wikipedia became a separate site days after the Nupedia advisory board opposed combining the two . In September 2001 , Wales was simultaneously CEO of Bomis and co @-@ founder of Wikipedia ; Sanger was chief organizer of Wikipedia and editor @-@ in @-@ chief of Nupedia .
Nupedia was encumbered by its peer @-@ review system , a seven @-@ step process of review and copyediting , and Wikipedia grew at a faster rate . In November 2000 , Nupedia had 115 potential articles awaiting its peer @-@ review process . By September 2001 , after a total investment of US $ 250 @,@ 000 from Bomis , Nupedia produced 12 articles ; from 2000 through 2003 , Nupedia contributors produced a total of 24 finalized articles . Wikipedia had about 20 @,@ 000 articles and 18 language versions by the end of 2001 .
Bomis originally planned to make Wikipedia profitable , providing staffing and hardware for its initial structure ; Wikipedia would not have survived without this early support . Bomis provided web servers and bandwidth for the projects , owning key items such as domain names . Wales used checks from Bomis to maintain the Wikipedia servers in Tampa , Florida .
As the cost of Wikipedia rose with its popularity , Bomis ' revenues declined as a result of the dot @-@ com crash . In late 2000 Bomis had a staff of about 11 employees , but by early 2002 layoffs reduced the staff to its original size of about five . Sanger was laid off in February 2002 ; from January 15 , 2001 through March 1 , 2002 , he was the sole paid editor of Wikipedia . Sanger stepped down from his dual roles as chief organizer of Wikipedia and editor @-@ in @-@ chief of Nupedia on March 1 , 2002 , feeling unable to commit to these areas on a volunteer basis and a dearth of " the habit or tradition of respect for expertise " from high @-@ ranking Wikipedia members . He continued contributing to community discussions , optimistic about Wikipedia 's future success .
After Sanger 's departure , Wikipedia was managed by Wales and a burgeoning online community ; although he thought advertising a possibility , the Wikipedia community was opposed to business development and Internet marketing was difficult at the end of 2002 . Wikipedia remained a for @-@ profit venture ( under the auspices of Bomis ) through the end of 2002 . By then it had moved from a .com domain name to <unk> , and Wales said that the site would not accept advertising . Material from Nupedia was folded into Wikipedia , and by 2003 the former was discontinued .
