Why, then, were there no objections from Jimbo before one year ago, at least that I know of?
Just because you have an idea, doesn't make you a founder.

Since Jimbo has explicitly objected to calling Larry a "co-founder of Wikipedia" several times, including in replies to one of Larry's Kuro5hin articles, I'm not sure how it's just "one troll". According to Jimbo, Larry neither co-founded Wikipedia nor proposed the idea of a wiki-based encyclopedia, but was merely an employee tasked with starting it up.
