I was seeking to cover the keynote presentation -- not perpetuate myths like you say. I usually go into conferences expecting to hear true accounts. Perhaps I should be more on my toes in the future. The points you mention are very interesting and worth consideration. Lauren Gregory,
Thanks for your comments. I was seeking to cover the keynote presentation — not perpetuate myths like you say. I usually go into conferences expecting to hear true accounts. Perhaps I should be more on my toes in the future. The points you mention are very interesting and worth consideration.

He is a "co-founder". This was the truth between 2001 and about 2004. At that time, Wales began a deliberate campaign to re-imagine himself as "founder" or even more ridiculously, "sole founder". Some of the press and blogosphere have bought this fabrication, hook, line, and sinker. But, most realize it for what it is -- a falsehood. You can read Wikipedia's biography about Jimmy Wales. They pretty clearly show that Wales as founder is an exclusive vision that resides only in Jimmy's mind. Jimmy Wales is not “founder” of Wikipedia. He is a “co-founder”.
