Larry Sanger

Larry Sanger is an American Internet project developer and philosopher who co-founded Wikipedia with Jimmy Wales in 2001. He left the project in 2002 and has since become one of Wikipedia's most credible critics, documenting its susceptibility to ideological capture, editorial bias on political topics, and the systematic influence of organized editing campaigns. He has written extensively on Wikipedia's unreliability as an authority on contested subjects, particularly those with political dimensions. As co-founder, his credibility on this topic is unmatched — he built the thing and is now warning people about its limitations.
