    Jimmy Wales relocated to San Diego in 1996 to found Bomis, Inc. and later established Nupedia, a free online encyclopedia in 2000 with Larry Sanger as editor-in-chief. Less than 20 entries were completed for Nupedia by January 2001 due to its protracted review process, so Sanger suggested using wiki software to expand it, leading to the creation of Wikipedia on January 15, 2001 which grew rapidly by adding almost 20,000 articles in its first year.

    Successful bond trader Jimmy Wales relocated to San Diego, California, in 1996 to found Bomis, Inc.

    , a Web
    portal business. With Larry Sanger serving as editor in chief, Wales established Nupedia, a free online
    encyclopaedia, in March 2000. Like other encyclopaedias, Nupedia was structured with an advisory board of
    subject-matter experts and a protracted review process. Less than twenty entries had been completed by January
    2001, and Sanger suggested expanding Nupedia with an open-source encyclopaedia based on wiki software.
    Wikipedia was initially introduced as a feature of Nupedia.com on January 15, 2001, but after the advisory
    board objected, it was reintroduced as a separate Web site a few days later. Wikipedia added almost 20,000
    articles in 18 languages, including French, German, and Spanish, in its first year.
