Wikipedia was co-founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger in the 1990s, but its original promise has not fully come to pass.

Over time, concerns have grown about bias, particularly a left-leaning slant influenced by institutional capture. Around 85% of the most influential editors remain anonymous, which raises questions about accountability.

Larry has put forward nine theses for reform, to suggest changes like ending consensus-based decision-making and to allow competing versions of articles to improve accuracy and representation. He also points to the GASP framework—highlighting Wikipedia's tendencies toward globalist, academic, secular, and progressive viewpoints—and argues for restoring neutrality and scrapping source blacklists.

With AI now shaping content, he believes public ratings and greater transparency could help make Wikipedia more reliable.Larry’s website: https://larrysanger.org
