Instead, they give directions in absolute terms, telling others to head “upriver” or “downriver,” or “to the forest” or “away from the forest.” Everett told the man to say whether the monkey was going upriver or downriver.

| [[Internet entrepreneur]] Jimmy Wales and online community organizer/[[philosophy]] professor [[Larry Sanger]] founded Wikipedia in 2001 as an Internet encyclopedia to supplement [[Nupedia]]. The project was originally funded by [[Bomis]], Jimmy Wales's for-profit business. Since Wikipedia was depleting Bomis's resources, Wales and Sanger thought of a charity model to fund the project.<ref name="Rupert Neate" /> The Wikimedia Foundation was incorporated in Florida on June 20, 2003.<ref name="Announcing Wikimedia Foundation">{{cite web|first=Jimmy|last=Wales|author-link=Jimmy Wales|url=http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2003-June/010743.html|title=Announcing Wikimedia Foundation|date=June 20, 2003|publisher=[[mail:wikipedia-l]]|access-date=November 26, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130330033331/http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2003-June/010743.html|archive-date=March 30, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations.
