I spoke more about symbols than actual power. Whether or not Jimmy is “allowed” a corporate credit card from the Wikimedia Foundation is symbolic. It doesn’t tell us how much power he has to shape Wikipedia policy in the direction of his own interests.
Furthermore I think that Jimmy is not the only person on the paycheck of Wikia who has an influence on Wikipedia policy. Jimmy probably recruited some of the 200 employees of Wikia out of high level Wikipedians.
Without being an Insider it’s hard to estimate the extend of his political power inside Wikileaks, but I wouldn’t estimate it to be low.
You mean, he might have this power there’s no evidence for him wielding, therefore he does have the power?
Having power and wielding it are two separate shoes. In the article he writes that he does have certain powers that he’s seldomly using.
Secondly I have not argued that I’m certain that he has the power. I’m not a person who thinks in of binary categories of 0% and 100%. Don’t project that into my writing.
It’s not intended to be a summary.

This is not a good standard of evidence.
