'''Larry Sanger''' created [[Nupedia]] and [[Wikipedia®]] while working for [[Jimbo Wales]]. Sanger invented the name, "Wikipedia." He is currently organizing wiki-based encyclopedia, known as [[Encyclosphere]].<ref>https://justthenews.com/nation/technology/wikipedia-co-founder-launching-competitor-website-upset-about-pro-socialism</ref>
He is currently organizing a rival, expert-edited wiki-based encyclopedia, known as [[Citizendium]].
Sanger's role in the founding of Wikipedia is a matter of dispute. Although Sanger came up with the idea of using wiki software to host their encyclopedia, Wales claims to be the sole "founder" of Wikipedia.
