Wales started to play down Sanger's role in the founding of the project in 2005, a few years after Sanger left Wikipedia.^[48]^[49]^[50] In light of Wales' view, Sanger posted on his personal webpage several links which supported his role as a co-founder.^[14]^[51] The citations include earlier versions of selected Wikipedia pages,^[52] press releases from Wikipedia in the years of 2002–2004,^[53] and early media coverage stories^[54]^[55] describing Wikipedia as founded by Wales and Sanger.^[14]^[51] Sanger was identified as a co-founder of Wikipedia at least as early as September 2001.^[54] Jimmy Wales identified himself in August 2002 as "co-founder" of Wikipedia.^[56]^[57] During the time of Sanger's involvement in the project, he was routinely known as a co-founder.^[14]^[51]^[54] The Wikimedia Foundation's first press release in 2004 described Sanger as co-founder.^[58] Sanger is widely cited in the media as a co-founder.^[59]^[60]^[61] While Sanger organized the project Wales concentrated on Bomis.^[14]^[15]^[62]
According to all known documents actually dating from before 2005, the critical concept of marrying two of the three fundamental elements of Wikipedia, namely an encyclopedia and a wiki, first took form when Sanger met up with an old friend, Ben Kovitz.^[7]^[9] This meeting occurred at a dinner on January 2, 2001, and it was here that Sanger was first introduced to the functionality of wiki software. Kovitz was a computer programmer and a regular on Ward Cunningham's wiki.^[7]^[9] Sanger thought a wiki would be a good platform to use and decided to present the idea to Jimmy Wales, at that time the head of Bomis.^[63]^[64] Sanger initially proposed the wiki concept to Wales and suggested it be applied to Nupedia and, after some initial skepticism, Wales agreed to try it.^[12] Sanger formally proposed a "feeder" project for Nupedia titled "Nupedia Wiki"^[12] and created a new page on Ward's wiki named "WikiPedia."^[64]^[65]
t was Jimmy Wales who added the third critical ingredient to the mix. He directed Sanger to give essentially unrestricted editorial access to this new wiki to the "non expert" public.^[66] Sanger came up with the name 'Wikipedia', which at the time, Sanger wrote that he believed would merely be, "a silly name for what was at first a very silly project."^[66]^[67] Sanger first conceived of the wiki-based encyclopedia project only as a means to hopefully accelerate Nupedia's slow growth. During Wikipedia's critical first year of growth, Sanger spearheaded and guided the following that gathered around this nucleus. Through this early period, he served as Wikipedia's editor-in-chief, a position which has not been filled since his departure from Wikipedia.^[14]^[66]^[68] Sanger is also credited with creating and enforcing the policies and strategy that made Wikipedia possible during its first formative year.^[15]^[69] Thus it was that Wikipedia was in fact an accidental spin-off of Nupedia.^[70] Originally it was only intended to act as a 'feeder site' to generate rough articles for Nupedia, where the articles would then theoretically be 'polished up' by the 'more qualified' volunteer editors that were expected to be found there.^[13]

Sanger left Wikipedia in 2002, and has since been critical of the project.^[17] He articulated that despite its merits, Wikipedia lacks credibility due to, among other things, a lack of respect for expertise.^[18] After leaving the project, Sanger taught philosophy at The Ohio State University^[5] and was an early strategist for the expert-authored Encyclopedia of Earth.^[19] On September 15, 2006 he publicly announced Citizendium, first envisioned as a fork of Wikipedia.^[20] It was launched on March 25, 2007.^[21] Citizendium represents an effort to create a credible and free-access encyclopedia.^[22] Sanger aims to bring more accountability to the internet encyclopedia model.^[10]

He presently spends most of his time at WatchKnow project, in part to earn a living,^[23] and works part-time as a writer, speaker, and consultant on the topic of collaborative online communities.^[24]
