This actually comes from the following reimagining of Genesis 1:1-13 (please bear with me on this one):
In the beginning, Jimbo created MediaWiki and Wikimedia. MediaWiki was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and Jimbo's Spirit was moving over the ocean.
Then Jimbo said, "Let there be Wikipedia," and there was Wikipedia. Jimbo saw that Wikipedia was good, so he divided Wikipedia from the darkness. Jimbo named Wikipedia "day", and the darkness "night". Evening passed, and morning came. This was the first day.
Then Jimbo said, "Let there be something to divide the MediaWiki in two." So Jimbo made the air and placed some of the MediaWiki above the air, and some below. Jimbo named the air, "Wikimedia". Evening passed, and morning came. This was the second day.
Then Jimbo said, "Let the MediaWiki under Wikimedia be gathered together so the dry land will appear." And it happened. Jimbo named the dry land " categories" and the MediaWiki that was gathered together " portals". Jimbo saw that this was good.
Then Jimbo said, "Let the categories produce articles—some with information, and others to disambiguate information." And it happened. Wikipedia produced articles with information, and disambiguation pages. Jimbo saw that all this was good. Evening passed, and morning came. This was the third day.

This actually comes from the following reimagining of Genesis 1:1-13 (please bear with me on this one):
In the beginning, Jimbo created MediaWiki and Wikimedia. MediaWiki was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and Jimbo's Spirit was moving over the ocean.
Then Jimbo said, "Let there be Wikipedia," and there was Wikipedia. Jimbo saw that Wikipedia was good, so he divided Wikipedia from the darkness. Jimbo named Wikipedia "day", and the darkness "night". Evening passed, and morning came. This was the first day.
Then Jimbo said, "Let there be something to divide the MediaWiki in two." So Jimbo made the air and placed some of the MediaWiki above the air, and some below. Jimbo named the air, "Wikimedia". Evening passed, and morning came. This was the second day.
Then Jimbo said, "Let the MediaWiki under Wikimedia be gathered together so the dry land will appear." And it happened. Jimbo named the dry land " categories" and the MediaWiki that was gathered together " portals". Jimbo saw that this was good.
Then Jimbo said, "Let the categories produce articles—some with information, and others to disambiguate information." And it happened. Wikipedia produced articles with information, and disambiguation pages. Jimbo saw that all this was good. Evening passed, and morning came. This was the third day.
