Larry Sanger is editor-in-chief of
Nupedia and (with
Jimbo Wales) instigator of
Wikipedia. Ph.D. 2000, M.A. 1995,
Philosophy,
Ohio State University. B.A. 1991 Philosophy,
Reed College. Home town is
Anchorage, Alaska. I'd prefer if you gave your messages to me below, but if e-mail would be more appropriate (e.g., if I have written something that offends you), you can feel free to add to my persistent backlog at lsanger at nupedia.com.
Here is my to do list--mainly for my own use, but also to let people know where my priorities are right now.
What I've written here
I've worked on many hundreds of articles. I originated quite a few. I've inflicted a series of philosophy lectures first on Ohio State students, and now on Wikipedia.
I've written a few 'pedia-related columns, which I've moved to [Wikipedia's meta-discussion wiki].
I am trying to promote Wikipedia. I want your help! Go to building Wikipedia membership.
I co-founded Wikipedia, and I am one of a few people who are paid to help organize this project.
Random discussion
Yes, I agree, he is he, nobody would argue with me! :-P
He is he, but this is twee, we'd all agree.
Larry's favorite philosopher is Thomas Reid, isn't he? Maybe!
I'm not envious because I live here, in
Russia!
Can we rename
Basque to
Basque language, please? I expect we'll want articles on the Basque people and culture. --
Vicki Rosenzweig
Go ahead! No need to ask me. --LMS
Hi Larry -- I can't get links to Amazon and Pricescan to go away -- help!
JHK
Just don't put in the ISBN numbers... --
LMS
- You can leave 'em for now, I'll fix them all at once in the PHP script (soon...) --Magnus Manske
- Yes, please leave them. ISBNs are useful and important information (in fact, I think in this medium, it's more important to have ISBNs than all the other information traditionally in a bibliography--CMS is simply out of step on that one. Let the software decide what to do with them. --LDC
Larry, can you look at my wikification of your article on
Argument from common consent - as well as wikiing I've added a couple more points that I made up, and contradicted one of your examples :) -
Verloren
I'll try to get to it sometime soon. I've just driven to Longmont, Colorado and the plans for the next week are up in the air, but I'll be at work.
Larry, I've sent you a 'favicon.ico' icon by E-mail, which should complement the new logo graphic in modern browsers --
The Anome
This is something for the sysadmins to deal with...I forwarded it to Jimbo. --LMS
Thanks for the welcome. Interesting project; heard about it in the NYT Magazine piece. Forgot to put in my blurb that I have a philosophy BA. I see you graduated Reed in '91... know Jeff Hungerford (now Brideges)? We were in grad school together in Seattle. --
Brian Hopkins
Can't say that name rings a bell. I'm very glad to hear that the NYT Magazine piece brought in some good hands! --LMS
Trying to redirect [ABM Treaty]
? to [Treaty between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems]
? results in page name is too long.
I see. Are those the only two names used? My main concern is that "ABM Treaty" might be (or might soon be) ambiguous. --LMS
I hate to write this here, but I emailed you and haven't gotten a response and I know you're backed up as far as email is concerned. I have
a lot of technical needs with the Esperanto wikipedia. I would really appreciate being able to call someone to talk about them. Is anything like this possible? Thanks,
ChuckSmith (msochuck@yahoo.com)
I guess you shoulda written here first, for faster service. :-) Have you tried writing Jimbo? I cannot satisfy your technical needs, I'm afraid. :-( I could, I suppose, finally do all that study I'd need to do in order to do more server work for Wikipedia. I guess I really should... --
LMS
Thanks, I'll try writing Jimbo. Ummm...what's his email, I can't find it. --
