Larry Sanger is an American philosopher, internet entrepreneur, and co-founder of Wikipedia. He studied philosophy at Reed College and earned a Ph.D. from Ohio State University. In 2001, he helped create Wikipedia. Sanger coined Wikipedia’s name, and drafted many of its early standards, including its then fundamental principle of “Neutral point of view”. Sanger has contributed to numerous encyclopedic endeavors since, culminating in his current work on the decentralized Encyclosphere, searchable at Encyclosearch. As President of the Knowledge Standards Foundation, Sanger presides over an effort to develop standards and tools to knit together a new kind of encyclopedia with entries sourced and vetted from across the Web.
