In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia, esteemed philosopher, and passionate advocate for truth-seeking. Raised in a religious environment, Larry's journey evolved from childhood faith to agnosticism, fueled by his dedication to reason, evidence, and philosophical exploration. Through rigorous philosophical study, a deep engagement with the Bible, and profound personal experiences, Larry's skepticism was challenged and reshaped, leading him to a deeper reflection on life's existential questions. Guest Bio: Larry Sanger is an analytical philosopher, internet project developer, and co-founder of Wikipedia. He holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from Ohio State University and has been involved in multiple knowledge-based initiatives, including Nupedia, Citizendium, and Everipedia. Sanger has been a strong advocate for internet freedom, online credibility, and decentralized knowledge platforms. His work continues to shape discussions on the role of expertise and trust in digital information.

Rerun : Wikipedia launched with the cheery words “Hello World!” on 15th January, 2001. The project arrived almost by accident, as the side-project of a more serious effort by tech entrepreneur Jimmy Wales to create an online encyclopedia called Nupedia. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why before Wikipedia came about Wales briefly peddled pornography; discuss why 9/11 was unexpectedly beneficial to Wikipedia's growth; and reveal how many times Olly watched the Hindenburg disaster on Encarta 95…  Further Reading: • ‘Fail study: Jimmy Wales and Nupedia' (Wired, 2011): https://www.wired.co.uk/article/fail-study-jimmy-wales • ‘Wikipedia's 20, but how credible is it?'

Con la excusa del cumpleaños número 20 de Wikipedia, Laura y Santiago se ponen a explorar una de las siete maravillas del mundo digital. Si ya son fans de Wikipedia, los invitamos a celebrar su amor con este episodio. Si todavía no están asombrados por una obra tan colosal y tan noble, pongan play (que este es el momento).  Con el apoyo de:  ▸ Oyentes como tú en Patreon. ▸ Compradores de la Tienda de Cosas de Internet. Notas del episodio:  Así se ve el «artículo» de Cosas de Internet en Wikipedia hoy en día.  Página de celebración de los 20 años de Wikipedia. Las reglas para contribuir a Wikipedia se basan en cinco pilares, uno de ellos es mantener un punto de vista neutral. Y, vale decirlo, las personas detrás de Wikipedia son bastante flexibles con las reglas (porque todo el tiempo están en discusión).  Un libro clave para la conversación de este episodio fue «Here Comes Everybody», de Clay Shirky. Este video nos ayudó a entender cómo se toman decisiones en Wikipedia: «Governance structure of Wikipedia». «Excedente cognitivo» o, en inglés, «Cognitive Surplus».  Santi mencionó a Quora y Kialo como ejemplos de otras páginas que también se construyen con el «surplus cognitivo». En el 2017, el gobierno de Turquía bloqueó el acceso a Wikipedia.  Wikipedistas en Turquía celebrando en un café. En la entrada de blog «My role in Wikipedia» Larry Sanger describe con detalle cómo contribuyó a la formación de la enciclopedia. Ahí también comparte links a comunicados de prensa oficiales que lo señalan como cofundador. Encontramos el primer correo que envío Larry Sanger a la comunidad de Nupedia invitándolos a crear artículos en Wikipedia.  Aquí sale el momento en que Wikipedia pasó a ser una página con «.org». En la lección de TED-Ed sobre la enciclopedia, aparece la anécdota del árbol brasilero que Diderot consideró irrelevante. El árbol se llama «Urena lobata» (o «Aguaxima» en portugués). Acá la profesora de historia nos enseñó tantas anécdotas de la enciclopedia de Diderot.  Extras: Formulario para inscribirse al newsletter de Cosas de Internet.

Wikipédia a 20 ans depuis quelques jours et Donald John Trump 54 ans depuis quelques mois. J'aime les chiffres… je suis très mauvais en affaire, mais j'aime les chiffres surtout quand il nous parle, A 54 ans, Donald est le le 45è Président des Etats-Unis d'Amérique. Pas de doute il y a là un signe dans cet effet miroir qui incontestablement telle la surface d'un lac réfléchit les chiffres et les signes, un lac des cygnes peut-être même ou résonne le chant du cygne qui annonce que son heure est passée, qu'il peut, qu'il doit tel une plume légère disparaitre, faire place nette.Quant au 20ème anniversaire de Wikipédia, je dirai juste, que l'encyclopédie 2.0, l'encyclopédie libre est au savoir ce que les Fichiers Waw sont à la musique. Ils ont fait de la place dans nos bibliothèques. Chez Donald, on ne peut pas dire que les encyclopédies étaient très consultées. Mais elles probablement étaient là parce que c'est une histoire de standing… une belle rangée d'encyclopédie, ça pose son homme et encore plus son canard.Oui, Trump a un prénom de canard et alors… Il aurait bien pu s'appeler aussi Picsou, l'oncle de Donald, le frère de sa mère pour être précis. Son business passant avant tout ou presque. Il n'y a que ses légendaires parties de golf qui peuvent l'amener à délaisser son business le temps de pousser la baballe au fond du troutrou. Il va avoir du temps pour ça… du temps pour fouler le green et peut-être même consulter cette mine de savoir qu'est Wikipédia, cette intelligence collective qui a révolutionné notre rapport au savoir. Plus aucune question ne peut rester sans réponse. Et s'y cherche par exemple la date de création de wikipedia je peux lire que la vénérable institution a été lancée officiellement le 15 janvier 2001, on ne va pas chipoter pour 5 jours, Wiki a été lancée pour soutenir Nupedia, un Wikipédia redigé par des experts des domaines concernés. Nupedia est aujourd'hui aux oubliettes numériques et Wiki fête avec brio ses vingt ans. Bon anniversaire à Wiki et bon vent à Donald ! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hoy cuenta con más de 56 millones de artículos en todos los idiomas del mundo.  Al principio estuvo bajo las alas de Bomis, una polémica y pionera empresa de la época de las puntocom.  Sus activos y datos se transfirieron a la Wikimedia Foundation tras una rebelión interna de editores y bibliotecarios, liderada por algunos colaboradores de la versión en español.  Un fallo bastante peligroso y simple de Windows 10. Microsoft prepara un parche para un curioso bug de una sola línea que puede camuflarse dentro de casi cualquier archivo, incluso sin abrirlo, y puede corromper en parte o totalmente el almacenamiento interno.  Funciona haciendo que Windows busque el icono correspondiente al archivo, pero no puede y acaba corrompiendo la tabla de ficheros NTFS.  India y Turquía pondrán a prueba las políticas de WhatsApp. La junta de competencia de Turquía y la Corte Superior de Delhi revisarán si los cambios recientes de privacidad en WhatsApp incumplen las respectivas leyes nacionales.  EE.UU. añade Xiaomi a una lista negra "secundaria". Una orden presidencial de última hora, impedirá a empresas estadounidenses invertir en la firma china a partir de noviembre de 2021 tras asociarla con el ejército chino. Podrá seguir usando Android, etc.  Hay dos listas diferentes. La más famosa está gestionada por el Ministerio de Comercio, y es donde están Huawei, DJI, etc. pero no Xiaomi. Las acciones cayeron un 10% igualmente.  Xiaomi entrará en una segunda lista que depende de Defensa, donde también está Huawei, pero no es la que impide la comercialización normal, solo las inversiones.  Samsung presenta los Galaxy S21 en tres modelos diferentes. Normal, Plus y Ultra que llegarán el 29 de enero por precios desde 859 hasta 1.439 euros. Las pruebas iniciales dan una muy buena primera impresión, pero les costará destacar. — También sin cargador.  Vienen de la mano de unas etiquetas inteligentes con Bluetooth que costarán 35 euros cada una.  Lidl vende sus propios auriculares inalámbricos por 20 euros. Dentro de su marca Silvercrest, cuentan con un diseño y prestaciones muy similares a los AirPods, aunque de color negro. Vienen incluso con carga inalámbrica en la cajita. Están agotados online.  LG pone a la venta una mascarilla electrónica por 150 euros. Pesa 126 gramos en total, cuenta con una batería, un sistema de ventilación activo y unos filtros desechables que se deben cambiar cada siete y 30 días respectivamente.  Nike denuncia a cientos de webs e influencers. En total unos 1.000 cargos diferentes a empresas e individuales que operan tiendas con productos falsificados de la marca, principalmente calzado deportivo. De momento los acusados permanecen bajo sello.  Cisco se niega a parchear unas vulnerabilidades graves que afectan a varios routers y cortafuegos destinados a individuales y pequeños negocios porque había pasado la fecha límite de mantenimiento... hace solo un mes.  Multa a Caixabank por la gestión de datos personales. El banco español tendrá que pagar 6 millones de euros en una pareja de multas por irregularidades en varios puntos en el alta, baja y cesión de datos de los clientes. — La mayor multa por RGPD en España.  Disney se apunta a los estrenos simultáneos y gratuitos digitales. Ha estrenado películas de pago en Internet + cine, luego otras solo en Disney+ pero sin coste adicional, y ahora prueba el último formato que le queda: estrenar en el cine y sin coste extra en streaming.  EE.UU. obligará a Tesla a reparar todos los Model S y X viejos. Los modelos vendidos desde el 2012, en su lanzamiento, hasta 2018, contenían unas memorias eMMC que se van degradando en capacidad con el tiempo. Unos 158.000 coches.  Este tipo de problemas serán cada vez más comunes a medida que los coches se computizan. Tras años de quejas, Tesla abrió hace unas semanas un programa de recambios, ahora las autoridades le obligarían a hacerlo de forma completa.  TCL presenta una tableta con pantalla de tinta electrónica de color. Se llama NXTPAPER, costará 350 euros, y en vez de LCD tendrá una pantalla de tinta electrónica de nueva generación que permite mostrar colores, mucho menor consumo y un refresco relativamente rápido (vídeo).

Encyclopaedias once came as expensive books in many volumes - until the 1990s, when they moved to CD-ROMs, which were smaller, cheaper and included more pictures, and video. But putting an encyclopedia online was better still, because it could be constantly updated. That was the vision of a former Chicago day trader Jimmy Wales when, in I999, he created - Nupedia. But Nupedia’s software and its editorial processes were so complex - that he started again, with Wikipedia. This time, anyone could contribute articles and edit them. Jimmy rejected the idea of supporting the business with ads, and Wikipedia.com became the not-for-profit Wikipedia.org. Today Wikipedia is far bigger than any traditional encyclopedia has ever been, with more than 52 million articles in more than 300 languages, attracting one and half billion unique visitors a month. They are also its editors, and pay for it through voluntary donations. Jimmy Wales spoke at CoinGeek’s London conference, where he reflected on what Bitcoin SV supporters have in common with the early proponents of a free, online encyclopedia - since Wikipedia’s feasibility was just as much of a challenge to conventional wisdom as the notion of a global Bitcoin economy is today.“I think that there's definitely parallels and there's differences as well. So one of the huge parallels has to do with the idea of decentralization generally,” Jimmy said. When you think of an accounting ledger, you might imagine that would involve “one big server somewhere with a big bank looking after it”. But with the design of Bitcoin, “we can do that in a completely new way, in a decentralized way, in public. That's pretty cool. That's pretty fascinating. And I think a lot of those kinds of vibes around decentralization are something that are held in common.”Jimmy is adamant that blockchain would not be a good idea for Wikipedia. That’s partly because he’s sceptical that there is a demand for a micropayments technology: “the consumers don't want it. They don't like it. It feels funny to them. One of the great things about, say, Netflix is you pay your monthly fee, which is quite nominal, really ...And there's something nice about that it's already paid for. And I just watch as much as I want.. A lot of Amazon services could be implemented on a micropayment level because they've already got our credit cards. They can sum it all up and bill us at the end of the month for our usage on Kindle or something like this… It seems to me that by and large, consumers are sceptical of that model. It doesn't feel right to them.”Jimmy Wales, Founder, WikipediaFor all that, Jimmy admits to being interested in Bitcoin technology and compares what’s happening to the kind of enthusiasm he saw around the open source movement: “I think that now the energy around blockchain and a lot of the people, they are quite optimistic people and they are looking for new innovative solutions. And I mean, this is the important thing, I'm known as a critic but one of the things that's really important here is to say, look, I find the technology fascinating. I mean, the whole idea of blockchain is just... I mean, when I

Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because understanding the past prepares us for the innovations of the future! Todays episode is on the history of Wikipedia. The very idea of a single location that could store all the known information in the world began with Ptolemy I, founder of the Greek dynasty that ruled Egypt following the death of Alexander the great. He and his son amassed 100s of thousands of scrolls in the Library and Alexandria from 331 BC and on. The Library was part of a great campus of the Musaeum where they also supported great minds starting with Ptolemy I's patronage of Euclid, the father of geometry, and later including Archimedes, the father of engineering, Hipparchus, the founder of trigonometry, Her, the father of math, and Herophilus, who gave us the scientific method and countless other great hellenistic thinkers. The Library entered into a slow decline that began with the expulsion of intellectuals from Alexandria in 145BC. Ptolemy VIII was responsible for that. Always be weary of people who attack those that they can't win over especially when they start blaming the intellectual elite for the problems of the world. This began a slow decline of the library until it burned, first with a small fire accidentally set by Caesar in 48BC and then for good in the 270s AD. In the centuries since there have been attempts here and there to gather great amounts of information. The first known encyclopedia was the Naturalis Historiae by Pliny the Elder, never completed because he was killed in the eruption of Vesuvius. One of the better known being the Encyclopedia Britannica, starting off in 1768. Mass production of these was aided by the printing press but given that there's a cost to producing those materials and a margin to be made in the sale of those materials that encouraged a somewhat succinct exploration of certain topics. The advent of the computer era of course led to encyclopedias on CD and then to online encyclopedias. Encyclopedias at the time employed experts in certain fields and paid them for compiling and editing articles for volumes that would then be sold. As we say these days, this was a business model just waiting to be disrupted. Jimmy Wales was moderating an online discussion board on Objectivism and happened across Larry Sanger in the early 90s. They debated and became friends. Wales started Nupedia, which was supposed to be a free encyclopedia, funded by advertising revenue. As it was to be free, they were to recruit thousands of volunteer editors. People of the caliber that had been previously hired to research and write articles for encyclopedias. Sanger, who was pursuing a PhD in philosophy from Ohio State University, was hired on as editor-in-chief. This was a twist on the old model of compiling an encyclopedia and a twist that didn't work out as intended. Volunteers were slow to sign up, but Nupedia went online in 2000. Later in the year there had only been two articles that made it through the review process. When Sanger told Ben Kovitz about this, he recommended looking at the emerging wiki culture. This had been started with WikiWikiWeb, developed by Ward Cunningham in 1994, named after a shuttle bus that ran between airport terminals at the Honolulu airport. WikiWikiWeb had been inspired by Hypercard but needed to be multi-user so people could collaborate on web pages, quickly producing content on new patterns in programming. He wanted to make non-writers feel ok about writing. Sanger proposed using a wiki to be able to accept submissions for articles and edits from anyone but still having a complicated review process to accept changes. The reviewers weren't into that, so they started a side project they called Wikipedia in 2001 with a user-generated model for content, or article, generation. The plan was to generate articles on Wikipedia and then move or copy them into Nupedia once they were ready. But Wikipedia got mentioned on Slashdot. In 2001 there were nearly 30 million websites but half a billion people using the web. Back then a mention on the influential Slashdot could make a site. And it certainly helped. They grew and more and more people started to contribute. They hit 1,000 articles in March of 2001 and that increased by 10 fold by September, By And another 4 fold the next year. It started working independent of Nupedia. The dot-com bubble burst in 2000 and by 2002 Nupedia had to lay Sanger off and he left both projects. Nupedia slowly died and was finally shut down in 2003. Eventually the Wikimedia Foundation was built to help unlock the world's knowledge, which now owns and operates Wikipedia. Wikimedia also includes Commons for media, Wikibooks that includes free textbooks and manuals, Wikiquote for quotations, Wikiversity for free learning materials, MediaWiki the source code for the site, Wikidata for pulling large amounts of data from Wikimedia properties using APIs, Wikisource, a library of free content, Wikivoyage, a free travel guide, Wikinews, free news, Wikispecies, a directory containing over 687,000 species. Many of the properties have very specific ways of organizing data, making it easier to work with en masse. The properties have grown because people like to be helpful and Wales allowed self-governance of articles. To this day he rarely gets involved in the day-to-day affairs of the wikipedia site, other than the occasional puppy dog looks in banners asking for donations. You should donate. He does have 8 principles the site is run by: 1. Wikipedia's success to date is entirely a function of our open community. 2. Newcomers are always to be welcomed. 3. “You can edit this page right now” is a core guiding check on everything that we do. 4. Any changes to the software must be gradual and reversible. 5. The open and viral nature of the GNU Free Documentation License and the Create Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License is fundamental to the long-term success of the site. 6. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. 7. Anyone with a complaint should be treated with the utmost respect and dignity. 8. Diplomacy consists of combining honesty and politeness. This culminates in 5 pillars wikipedia is built on: 1. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. 2. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view. 3. Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute. 4. Wikipedia's editors should treat each other with respect and civility. 5. Wikipedia has no firm rules. Sanger went on to found Citizendium, which uses real names instead of handles, thinking maybe people will contribute better content if their name is attached to something. The web is global. Throughout history there have been encyclopedias produced around the world, with the Four Great Books of Song coming out of 11th century China, the Encyclopedia of the Brethren of Purity coming out of 10th century Persia. When Wikipedia launched, it was in English. Wikipedia launched a German version using the deutsche.wikipedia.com subdomain. It now lives at de.wikipedia.com and Wikipedia has gone from being 90% English to being almost 90 % non-English, meaning that Wikipedia is able to pull in even more of the world's knowledge. Wikipedia picked up nearly 20,000 English articles in 2001, over 75,000 new articles in 2002, and that number has steadily climbed wreaching over 3,000,000 by 2010, and we're closing in on 6 Million today. The English version is 10 terabytes of data uncompressed. If you wanted to buy a printed copy of wikipedia today, it would be over 2500 books. By 2009 Microsoft Encarta shut down. By 2010 Encyclopedia Britannica stopped printing their massive set of books and went online. You can still buy encyclopedias from specialty makers, such as the World Book. Ironically, Encyclopedia Britannica does now put real names of people on articles they produce on their website, in an ad-driven model. There are a lot of ads. And the content isn't linked to as many places nor as thorough. Creating a single location that could store all the known information in the world seems like a pretty daunting task. Compiling the non-copywritten works of the world is now the mission of Wikipedia. The site receives the fifth most views per month and is read by nearly half a billion people a month with over 15 billion page views per month. Anyone who has gone down the rabbit hole of learning about Ptolemy I's involvement in developing the Library of Alexandria and then read up on his children and how his dynasty lasted until Cleopatra and how… well, you get the point… can understand how they get so much traffic. Today there are over 48,000,000 articles and over 37,000,000 registered users who have contributed articles meaning if we set 160 Great Libraries of Alexandria side-by-side we would have about the same amount of information Wikipedia has amassed. And it's done so because of the contributions of so many dedicated people. People who spend hours researching and building pages, undergoing the need to provide references to cite the data in the articles (btw wikipedia is not supposed to represent original research), more people to patrol and look for content contributed by people on a soapbox or with an agenda, rather than just reporting the facts. Another team looking for articles that need more information. And they do these things for free. While you can occasionally see frustrations from contributors, it is truly one of the best things humanity has done. This allows us to rediscover our own history, effectively compiling all the facts that make up the world we live in, often linked to the opinions that shape them in the reference materials, which include the over 200 million works housed at the US Library of Congress, and over 25 million books scanned into Google Books (out of about 130 million). As with the Great Library of Alexandria, we do have to keep those who seek to throw out the intellectuals of the world away and keep the great works being compiled from falling to waste due to inactivity. Wikipedia keeps a history of pages, to avoid revisionist history. The servers need to be maintained, but the database can be downloaded and is routinely downloaded by plenty of people. I think the idea of providing an encyclopedia for free that was sponsored by ads was sound. Pivoting the business model to make it open was revolutionary. With the availability of the data for machine learning and the ability to enrich it with other sources like genealogical research, actual books, maps, scientific data, and anything else you can manage, I suspect we'll see contributions we haven't even begun to think about! And thanks to all of this, we now have a real compendium of the worlds knowledge, getting more and more accurate and holistic by the day. Thank you to everyone involved, from Jimbo and Larry, to the moderators, to the staff, and of course to the millions of people who contribute pages about all the history that makes up the world as we know it today. And thanks to you for listening to yet another episode of the History of Computing Podcast. We're lucky to have you. Have a great day!

Magnus Manske und Sebastian Wallroth reden über Nupedia, Mediawiki, Bots, Tools, Wikidata, Reasonator, das Wikidataspiel und Mücken

Kirsty Young's castaway is the internet entrepreneur Jimmy Wales. He is best known as the co-founder of the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia. He grew up in Huntsville, Alabama and was the eldest child of a grocery store manager and his wife who ran a primary school where Jimmy and his siblings were educated. After acquiring a degree in finance and working as a trader in Chicago, his first serious foray into the online world was with the web portal Bomis, before branching out with a project called Nupedia, an online encyclopedia with entries written by scholars and published after undergoing peer review. Wikipedia launched in 2001 and now exists in 287 languages and is the 7th most accessed website in the world with over 20 billion page views per month. It can be edited by anyone though relies on a core of around 5,000 volunteers who are responsible for the majority of the content. It is Jimmy's aim to create "a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge." Producer: Cathy Drysdale.

Larry Sanger, Reed class of 1991, began changing the way people share and find information while working on Nupedia, a free online encyclopedia to which the public was invited to contribute. Sanger was editor-in-chief of Nupedia until 2002. While there, he cofounded Wikipedia, which has become the largest encyclopedia in the world. Sanger graduated from Reed with a degree in philosophy and went on to earn a PhD in the same discipline from Ohio State University in 2000. In addition to his work with Nupedia and Wikipedia, Sanger has taught philosophy at the university level and was Director of Collaborative Projects for the Digital Universe Foundation from 2005 to 2006. He has written and lectured extensively on the role of knowledge in society and the problem of quality control in user-generated content websites, such as Wikipedia and YouTube. In March 2007, Sanger launched Citizendium, another online encyclopedia project. Sanger believes that by adding expert oversight to submitted content, the new model will prove a more reliable resource for information than Wikipedia. Citizendium currently hosts 121 expert-approved articles with claims of quality and accuracy that rival the best, printed encyclopedias. Sanger is executive director of WatchKnow.org, a non-profit educational video service. The site references more than 15,000 videos hosted elsewhere on the Web and categorizes them by subject matter, education level, and field of study. WatchKnow.org is free to use and intended as a resource for students, parents, teachers, librarians, and everyone interested in the education of children. When Sanger is not changing the way we share knowledge, he likes to play the Irish traditional fiddle and read to his little boy.
