Wikipedia Criticised by Its Co-founder

wikinerd writes "Wikipedia is under criticism by its co-founder Larry Sanger who has left the project. He warns of a possible future fork due to Wikipedia's Anti-Elitism and he presents his view on Wikipedia's (lack of) reliability. New wikis on various subjects have already emerged, with some of them being complete forks of Wikipedia. Critical articles on Wikipedia are also being published by other sources."

    Could it be that he's making other revisions under an "anonymous" screenname to cover himself, or something?

    Besides, if he's for elitism, it may be that he thinks he's not qualified to edit other articles.

    Just giving him the benefit of the doubt...
