Dear Wikipedia community,
So, who founded Wikipedia? This has been a matter of an embarrassing dispute between Jimmy Wales and me. But I think the facts that ought to inform the debate are not (yet) really in question. I was hoping that my memoir ("The Early History of Nupedia and Wikipedia") would put questions to rest. But it was clearly too long for most people to read. What I want to do here, as briefly and fairly as possible but without leaving out anything germane, is to rehearse the issues that go to the issue of apportioning credit (or blame).
