Wales snaps & leaves interview after host asks, 'You're Wikipedia's Founder or Co-Founder?'
Jimmy Wales snapped at a podcast host for asking him if he was Wikipedia's Founder or Co-Founder after Wales introduced himself as the online encyclopedia's Founder. "It's the dumbest question in the world," Wales said. On being further questioned, Wales walked out of the interview. Larry Sanger is credited with co-founding Wikipedia, however, Wales has previously contested Sanger's contributions.
