Wikipedia cofounder is banned forever from the platform he created

▤ Summary

Larry Sanger, one of Wikipedia’s cofounders, has been permanently blocked from editing the platform. The ban followed his use of X to draw attention to an internal discussion about a proposed diversity-focused project, which editors treated as outside influence on a live community decision. Sanger rejected the decision and accused Wikipedia administrators of running a biased process without fair due process. The story also revisits his long-running conflict with Wikipedia’s volunteer governance and his continued criticism of the site’s direction.
