Long backstory: Wikipedia cofounder banned from the online encyclopedia

▤ Summary

Wikipedia has banned cofounder Larry Sanger after accusing him of violating rules against influencing internal decision-making. The dispute centers on his promotion of an internal project and his public discussion of it on X. The article frames the ban as the latest peak in a long-running conflict over neutrality, source selection, and editorial power on Wikipedia. Sanger says the process was unfair and describes the decision as mob consensus. The story focuses on governance and participation inside an online knowledge platform rather than a product or corporate event.
