===Development of Wikipedia=== [[File:Old Wikipedia.png|thumb|right|Wikipedia's main page (28 September 2002)]] In March 2002, following the withdrawal of funding by Bomis during the [[dot-com bubble|dot-com bust]], Sanger left both Nupedia and Wikipedia.<ref name="Stacy Schiff">{{Cite magazine |last=Schiff |first=Stacy |date=31 July 2006 |title=Know It All |url=https://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060731fa_fact |url-status=live |magazine=[[The New Yorker]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081122125817/http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060731fa_fact |archive-date=22 November 2008 |access-date=25 April 2009}}</ref> By 2002, he and Wales differed in their views on how best to manage open encyclopedias. Both still supported the open-collaboration concept, but they disagreed on how to handle disruptive editors, specific roles for experts, and the best way to guide the project to success. Wales went on to establish self-governance and [[Business development|bottom-up]] self-direction by editors on Wikipedia. He made it clear that he would not be involved in the community's day-to-day management, but would encourage it to learn to self-manage and find its own best approaches. {{as of|2007}}, Wales mostly restricted his role to occasional input on serious matters, executive activity, advocacy of knowledge, and encouragement of similar reference projects. Sanger said he is an "inclusionist" and is open to almost anything,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Anderson |first=Nate |date=25 February 2007 |title=Citizendium: building a better Wikipedia |url=https://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/citizendium.ars/3 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081020001720/http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/citizendium.ars/3 |archive-date=20 October 2008 |access-date=22 October 2011 |website=Ars Technica}}</ref> and proposed that experts still have a place in the [[Web 2.0]] world. In 2006 he founded [[Citizendium]], an open encyclopedia that used real names for contributors to reduce disruptive editing, and hoped to facilitate "gentle expert guidance" to increase the accuracy of its content. Decisions about article content were to be up to the community, but the site was to include a statement about "family-friendly content".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Archive: Family-Friendly Policy β Citizendium |url=http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Family-Friendly_Policy |access-date=16 March 2023 |website=en.citizendium.org |archive-date=20 November 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101120030154/http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Family-Friendly_Policy |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Nate Anderson"/>
