Wikipedia, as always when it comes to such matters, is reticent.
That's an understatement. The
Bomis article has been "sanitized" of a number of facts.
This is how it looked at its peak size, in 2009, when it was still somewhat factual. Notice the amazing lack of useful references or justification for various statements.
The Bomis article is "special". It's one of their oldest surviving articles (8 Sept 2001), it was created by Larry Sanger himself, it was edited a great deal by Erik Moeller, and all of the Wiki-fanboys have had their fingers in it. Even Selina, the operator of WR,
edited it. (And got banned for arguing with Moeller, predictably.)
