This is a fascinating article in many respects. It's particularly interesting that Britannica talks about our disclaimer. It's also interesting that they interviewed Larry Sanger, which would make sense in an article about the ancient history of the project, but the casua reader would get the impression from the article that Larry is still around.
I talked to the reporter yesterday, and she was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Top quality journalist. But I suspect that some older wikipedia pages somewhere do not properly make clear Larry's role today, nor really his role in the past as a hired employee.
