Wikipedia has banned one of its own founders from editing the site, and the two sides of the story point in opposite directions.Larry Sanger, who co-founded Wikipedia with Jimmy Wales in 2001 and gave the site its name, has been blocked indefinitely by the site's volunteer community. Sanger says he was pushed out for trying to make Wikipedia less biased. The editors who voted to ban him say he broke one of the encyclopedia's oldest rules: he used his large online following to pull outsiders into an internal debate, a practice Wikipedia calls canvassing.About The AuthorAt heart, I am a storyteller drawn to the watershed moments that bend the technology landscape. I braid narrative with data, humanise statistics, and trace the arc from first spark to world-changing impact. My reportage, features and reviews are witty, sardonic, visual and vivid, using anecdote to illuminate rather than eviscerate.
As a technology journalist with over sixteen years of experience, I have travelled the world and the seven seas, covered every major tech conference worth its lanyard, chronicled the defining breakthroughs of the last decade and a half, and played a pivotal role in launching some of India’s most important technology publishing platforms across web, print and TV.
