Larry Sanger has good points, but some of his articles were a bit impenetrable

In Larry's defense many of these articles where ported wholesale to Wikipeia from old lecture notes. The intention was always to fix those articles, but intention isn't action, so that never got done.

Larry is a good guy, with interesting ideas, who could have been a great leader for Wikipedia, but turned out to be something else. Not everybody can be great at every job, so there's no shame in that.

With that said, I'm not particularly hopeful that he will turn out to be a great leader for this next project either.

I think it would be great to have a more reliable version of wikipedia, and I hope Larry will be successful. And I think it would be fantastic if credible educational institutions could get involved in improving the reliability of key areas of the Wikipedia.

I just don't think this project is designed correctly, or has the right leadership to make either of those things happen.
