Wales claims to be the sole "founder" of Wikipedia.
'''Larry Sanger''' founded [[Wikipedia]] along with [[Jimbo Wales]]. He is currently organizing a rival, expert-edited wiki-based encyclopedia, known as [[Citizendium]].
'''Larry Sanger''' created [[Nupedia]] and [[Wikipedia]] while working for [[Jimbo Wales]]. He left Wikipedia after Wales cut his salary by 50%.

Citizendium's [http://www.citizendium.org/faq.html#introductory FAQ page], presumably speaking for Sanger, describes him as a "Wikipedia co-founder."
