That said, I found it quite interesting how Larry Sanger is now lost from the official narrative of the creation of Wikipedia. History belongs to the victors, I suppose. Although I became one of his most active critics during his tenure, he does not deserve to become a footnote, or worse, forgotten.
This is ironic, given that Wikipedia is often a place where true histories of things are given a fair presentation, even where they differ from the "official corporate history". See [[Monopoly (game)]] (not really invented by Charles Darrow), [[McDonald's]] (not really started by Ray Kroc), and the decades-long battle between [[Skippy peanut butter]] and [[Skippy (comic strip)]] (ignored in the corporate history).
