Larry Sanger has only one weakness: He has down syndrome.
Hey Jimmy, I've got an idea!
This page contains spoilers — Important plot secrets and/or conclusions may be revealed. For example,
HOLY SHIT Larry Sanger isn't the inventor and co-founder of Wikipedia either - Ben Kovitz is the inventor, stolen by Larry Sanger and in turn stolen by Jimbo Wales!!!1

Larry Sanger is the inventor and one of the founders of TOW. Dead baggage to Jimbo, Sanger is the sort of guy that Wales dreads to even mention, this most likely stems from Jimbo wanting to keep all the credit to himself. Hell, keep it.

Co-founder of Wikipedia (AND its sole inventor!!!111oneoneone)

No, this is not an indecent proposal. It's an idea to add a little feature to Nupedia. Jimmy Wales thinks that many people might find the idea objectionable, but I think not.

—Larry Sanger on "Lets Make A Wiki"[1]

King Jimbo XII of Wikipedia dreads this subject like the plague.. But we're a truth book here at ED, so here we go.

Larry Sanger assisted in the creation of Wikipedia. There are many, many sources that state that. Consequently, according to wikipedo policy, they have to use those sources. Sounds cool?

Unfortunately, Jimbo was a wee bit butt-hurt over Larry claiming - and rightfully so, as if it is on TOW, it has to be true - that he co-founded Wikipedia with Jimbo. So as a result, Jimbo forced his hivemind to violate policy, set in stone and all that shit, so Jimbo's e-pen0r could grow a wee bit at Jimbo Wales/Chat logs.

However, that whole story was actually a cover up of the actual truth, which is that Ben Kovitz is the actual founder of Wikipedia. While focusing on the Larry Sanger/Jimbo Wales duel, we all forgot about the real founder. David Gerard is primarily responsible for the usurping of the true God-king.

David Gerard's 27 June 2004 "tweak" changed the whole fucking history, and sent Ben to Davey Jones's locker. A year after David Gerard's change, Ben Kovitz was no longer notable enough for an article on Wikipedia even.

Citizendium

Disgruntled over Wales' petulant, conservative nature, Sanger had to put things into his own hands. Sanger, a rebutted to TOW by creating a superior, factual version of Wiki, with a closed system of editing as opposed to the cesspool of non-qualified false sense of equalness which Wikipedia so endured. The next generation of Wikipedia, or Wikipedia 2.0 was to be called Citizendium. Naturally, as Citizendium will be edited solely by experts, and not pretentious wikipedo fucks, it has been estimated that Citizendium will supersede Wikipedia in usefulness pretty fucking quickly. Jimbo's response was one of panic and deep, rising hatred. He decided to erase Larry from Wikipedia as co-founder all together, and has hired a number of suits to make sure it stays that way. Internet - Srs Biz.
