Larry Sanger

My claim to fame is I am co-founder of Wikipedia.

Could you say you're like the Wozniak of Wikipedia?

I've been called that.

Because you should.

Well, I mean, if I really were very proud of Wikipedia, I might.

Just to be clear, right, Jimmy was one of three partners.

So these guys are sort of like the institutional founders, but the person who actually got it started, that's me.

Oh, it's good to be here.

Well, my name is Larry Sanger.

I guess my training is in philosophy, so I still think of myself as a philosopher.

My claim to fame is I am co-founder of Wikipedia.

I like to call myself ex-founder now.

And he's responded that way often in the past, saying that he doesn't really care.

Why he got so upset this time, I'm not sure.

I think it's mostly because the interviewer just repeated the question so many times and he thought he was being disrespected, I suppose.

Well, I suppose that's a matter of opinion, isn't it?

He used to say I was.

He put it in the first three press releases anyway.

Strange.

Sure.
