* {{cite news |last=Lawton |first=Graham |date=2002-02-02 |title=The great giveaway |work=[[New Scientist]] |url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg17323284-600-the-great-giveaway/ |url-status=live |url-access=limited |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160413101416/https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg17323284-600-the-great-giveaway/ |archive-date=2016-04-13 |quote=A year ago, frustrated by the treacle-like progress of [[Nupedia]], [[Larry Sanger|Sanger]] started another encyclopedia named Wikipedia (the name is taken from open source Web software called [[WikiWikiWeb|WikiWiki]] that allows pages to be edited by anyone on the Web). It’s a lot less formal than Nupedia: anyone can write or edit an article on any topic, which probably explains the entries on [[beer]] and {{sic|[[Star Trek]]|hide=y|expected=italics}}. But it also explains its success. Wikipedia already contains 19,000 articles and is acquiring several thousand more each month. 'People like the idea that knowledge can and should be freely distributed and developed,' says Sanger. Over time, he reckons, thousands of dabblers should gradually fix any errors and fill in any gaps in the articles until Wikipedia evolves into an authoritative encyclopedia with hundreds of thousands of entries.}}
