↑There is some controversy over who founded Wikipedia. Wikipedia's official personnel page from ستمبر 2001 states Wales and Sanger were the two co-founders, and that there was no editor-in-chief. Wales considers himself to be the sole founder of Wikipedia and has told the Boston Globe that "it's preposterous" to call Sanger the co-founder. However, Sanger strongly contests that description. He was identified as a co-founder of Wikipedia at least as early as ستمبر 2001 and referred to himself that way as early as جنوری 2002.
