Wikipedia Co-Founder Larry Sanger Says He Was Banned for Life

Larry Sanger co‑founded Wikipedia in its early development. He helped shape the encyclopedia’s open‑editing model. After leaving the project, Sanger continued to comment on its direction. In a recent statement, he says Wikipedia has banned him for life. He says the ban prevents him from editing any Wikipedia pages. He did not provide details on why the permanent ban was imposed. The announcement underscores a continuing dispute between Sanger and the site’s administrators. Observers will watch for any further response from Wikipedia’s leadership.
