Wikipedia was co-founded by [[atheist]] [[libertarian]] [[objectivist]] [[Jimbo Wales]], and atheist philosophy professor [[Larry Sanger]] in 2001. The website was originally created to complement the now defunct peer-reviewed online encyclopedia [[Nupedia]] as a way for collaboration on articles. However, Wikipedia overtook Nupedia and became an independent project hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, which also hosts various related websites, known as "sister projects", such as ''Wikinews'' and ''Wikibooks''.
