Re: [WikiEN-l] [Foundation-l] Old Wikipedia backups

I note that among those earliest articles were separate articles on 
every single character in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, including Bum 
Number 1 and Passenger Number 1 through Passenger Number 4.

Re: [WikiEN-l] [Foundation-l] Old Wikipedia backups discovered

[Nathan]

From the interpe...@nupedia.com log posted the other day, written by
Larry Sanger:

Second, a little bit of history will help to explain this as well.  I was
more or less offered the job of editing Nupedia when I was, as an ABD
philosophy graduate student, soliciting Jimbo's (and other friends')
advice on a website I was thinking of starting.  It was the first I had
heard of Jimbo's idea of an open content encyclopedia, and I was delighted
to take the job.
