Well, there are two ways of interpreting that: (1) I won't be able to keep away, despite my protests of quitting; (2) I will someday get my job back. As to (1), you could be right. I guess we'll see, but I have successfully managed to stay away from other projects I've started before (there have been several). I hope not in this case, anyway, because golly, I need to use my time to get a job. :-) As to (2), if that's what you mean, your gesture of support is greatly appreciated. --[[user:Larry_Sanger|Larry_Sanger]] |

Revision as of 14:26, 1 March 2002
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. Can be reached at lsanger at nupedia.com.
Until December 2001, I was a full-time paid employee of Bomis, spending most of my work time on Wikipedia. As of February 1, I was no longer paid at all; I made an announcement explaining that I'd continue on as a part-time volunteer. As of March 1, however, I have resigned responsibility for leading Wikipedia and as editor-in-chief of Nupedia; my reasons are given in my letter of resignation to the community. To reiterate, primarily I need this extra time to find a job, and I feel that I cannot work effectively as a leader when I am working only as a part-time volunteer.
I've settled in the Columbus, Ohio area.
(This picture was taken for a New York Times article about Wikipedia.)
What I've written here
I worked on many hundreds of articles. I originated quite a few. I inflicted a series of philosophy lectures first on Ohio State students, and now on Wikipedia.
I wrote a few 'pedia-related columns, which I moved to Wikipedia's meta-discussion wiki.
You can help to promote Wikipedia. This is one of the most important things you can do for the Wikipedia community. Go to building Wikipedia membership.
