Nupedia was an English-language Web-based encyclopedia whose articles were written by experts and licensed as free content. It was founded by Jimmy Wales and underwritten by Bomis with Larry Sanger as editor-in-chief. Nupedia lasted from March 2000 until September 2003. It is mostly known now as the predecessor of Wikipedia but Nupedia had a seven-step approval process to control content of articles before being posted rather than live wiki-based updating.
