Wikipedia cofounder Larry Sanger has been indefinitely banned from editing the site due to accusations of canvassing. Editors determined that Sanger was using his off-platform followers, primarily on X, to influence discussions and decisions on Wikipedia, particularly concerning his proposed WikiProject Intellectual Diversity. While Sanger claims the ban is due to ideological bias, Wikipedia volunteers state he violated policies by mobilizing his audience to sway content and policy changes, a behavior he had been warned about previously.
