Larry Sanger was born on 16 July 1968 in Bellevue. An American philosopher and internet entrepreneur, Sanger is known as the co-founder of Wikipedia, which he started with Jimmy Wales in 2001 after earlier work on the Nupedia project. He served as its chief organizer, helping to establish early rules for collaboration and neutrality, before leaving the project in 2002. He later founded Citizendium, an encyclopedia project that sought expert oversight, and has been a critic of Wikipedia's management and perceived bias. He has since worked on other online education and decentralized knowledge ventures.
