I can think of a couple of one hit wonders in the music world who also need to let it go. That's the vibe I get. Enjoy your claim to fame and be glad you have one.
You are absolutely correct that it was built mostly by contributing editors and belongs to all of us. I feel it will be one of the top 5 things people recognize about the early internet centuries from now. Too bad Sanger doesn't enjoy that.
But I think you've hit upon an important point here -- Sanger has been coasting off his early involvement with Wikipedia for the last 20 years. At this point, the Wikipedia project owes much more to the editors who have been working on it for the past 20 years than it does to him.
