Hi Larry, |

I joined this project a couple of days ago, wanting to start Wikipedia in serbocroatian language - and in a way I did it as I typed an invitation for other users to join at [http://sh.wikipedia.com homepage], but I could not set up preferences or anything else - getting Invalid UserID 112 ??? Tried same thing on Catalan directory - again it did not work. Any technical issues that I should know about before proceeding ?? |

As I was testing features that are needed for serbocroatian encyclopaedia, I inadvertently entered page at www.wikipedia.com instead at sh.wikipedia.com with UTF encoding and of course I cannot remove it now - sorry about that, and would appreciate ay help to clean it. |

Revision as of 21:46, 17 January 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. 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.
I took the are you wikipediholic test, and scored a paltry 48. However, if people can get six points for having a row with me, I think I deserve fifty points just for being me. :-) OK, I just edited the test. Now my score is 103. :-)
Random discussion
- /Old comments that used to be at this point on the page.
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!
Please see /Will these comments ever stop for the most recent comment archive.
Larry, this is Andrew Szanton writing you a brief note to thank you for welcoming me to the Wikipedians... I admire your effort, and appreciated you taking the time to welcome me. Best wishes, Andrew
(I hope I put this in the right place -- still learning my way around here) (!)
No problem at all. Hope you join us often! --LMS

I'm not sure what you mean about HTF encoding on www.wikipedia.com. The homepage looks OK... --LMS
Wikipedia NEWS appears pretty much defunct, prehaps it should be removed from the homepage.
