Slim begins to airbrush Larry Sanger's co-founder status of Wikipedia from the record on Citizendium article.
Looks like there is some mutual back scratching going on. Jimbo needs help with his "co-founder" problem, and Slim needs someone on her side in the War On Trolls . How much do you want to bet that Slim's involvement in the co-founder issue is due to Jimbo posting something like, "I wonder if someone can help me with this co-founder deal" on a mailing list somewhere.
Slim's also spent some time
edit warring with the hero-worshiping Squeakbox on the Jimmy Wales bio, and
rewriting it on a sub page. Squeaky considers any mention of "Sanger as co-founder" inserted into an article as an act of vandalism.

After Sanger publicly proposed on January 10, 2001 the idea of using a wiki to create an encyclopedia, Wales installed wiki software on a server and authorized Sanger to pursue the project under his supervision. Sanger dubbed the project "Wikipedia" and, with Wales, laid down the founding principles, content and established an Internet-based community of contributors during that year.
That sounds like a description of co-founders to me.
