Larry Sanger, one of Wikipedia’s co-founders along with Jimmy Wales, has ironically been globally blocked from editing Wikipedia — so he took to Twitter to remedy it. Hello, @Wikipedia.

God, I love it. Well, hope you’re sitting comfortably, because I’m about to tell you the tale of how I fell head over heels for a cylindrical piece of technology.
