=== Notable forks and derivatives === There are a large number of {{self-reference link|Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks|Wikipedia mirror and forks}}. Other sites also use the MediaWiki software and concept, popularized by Wikipedia. No list of them is maintained. Specialized foreign language forks using the Wikipedia concept include [[Enciclopedia Libre Universal en Español|Enciclopedia Libre]] (Spanish), ''Wikiweise'' (German), ''WikiZnanie'' (Russian), [[Susning.nu]] (Swedish), and [[Baidu Baike]] (Chinese). Some of these (such as ''Enciclopedia Libre'') use [[GFDL]] or compatible licenses as used by Wikipedia, leading to the exchange of material with their respective language Wikipedias. In 2006, Sanger founded [[Citizendium]], based upon a modified version of [[MediaWiki]].<ref name="Jason Z Cohen">{{Cite news |last=Cohen |first=Jason Z |date=3 March 2008 |title=Citizendium's Larry Sanger: Experts Make It Better |work=LinuxInsider |publisher=ECT News Network |url=http://www.linuxinsider.com/rsstory/61983.html?welcome=1205003304&welcome=1205003861&wlc=1234584689&wlc=1235641480 |url-status=live |access-date=8 March 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110517112405/http://www.linuxinsider.com/rsstory/61983.html?welcome=1205003304&welcome=1205003861&wlc=1234584689&wlc=1235641480 |archive-date=17 May 2011}}</ref> The site said it aimed 'to improve on the Wikipedia model with "gentle expert oversight", among other things'.<ref name="Nate Anderson">{{Cite web |last=Anderson |first=Nate |date=25 February 2007 |title=Citizendium: building a better Wikipedia |url=https://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/citizendium.ars |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070324225040/http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/citizendium.ars |archive-date=24 March 2007 |access-date=25 March 2007 |website=Ars Technica}}</ref><ref name="Caroline McCarthy">{{Cite news |last=McCarthy |first=Caroline |date=23 January 2007 |title=Citizendium: Wikipedia co-founder Sanger's Wikipedia rival |publisher=[[CNET News]] |url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-9680301-2.html |url-status=live |access-date=5 April 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090730051218/http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-9680301-2.html |archive-date=30 July 2009}}</ref> In 2006, conservative activist and lawyer [[Andrew Schlafly]] founded [[Conservapedia]], based on MediaWiki.
