I'm not sure what happened to Larry Sanger; he went off the rails someplace. :-/ I seem to recall it was fairly hard to get hold of him even back in 2005-ish.

At any rate, en.wikipedia is a bit funny. Many language versions of Wikipedia are particular to just one country, or at best/worst a couple of countries. They also tend to have biases associated with those countries and cultures. The English Wikipedia, on the other hand, is edited by people around the world. So the intrinsic bias (or lack thereof) is at world-scale. Since on world-scale looking in the USA is quite conservative these days; looking out you'd expect Americans to feel that the world (and thus the English Wikipedia) has a progressive bias.
