One of the co-founders (!) of the free Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia, Larry Sanger, is starting his own compedium or in fact an elitist encyclopedia.
Just everything that Wikipedia didn´t want to be, I think.
Larry left the Wikipedia ship in early 2002 by the way (!).

I think Larry is a sucker! You want to know why?!

Wikipedia is one of the most succesfull and valuable treisures of the Internet!
No, not because it is flawless. Just because it is (almost) fully global, universal and made by the community itself. The good old Web1.0 feeling: one hand washes the other ….

Mistakes are made, articles are vandalised, of some articles the neutrality is disputed, that is alll true. But still it is the biggest source in its kind to start your search with.

A lot of people think paper encyclopedias always tell the truth. This too isn’t the case. And so does Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a great start for whatever subject. AFTER THAT you must go on and find more information from different sources.
Just like you should do with the different sources you find with Google.

Bye, Larry!
