 After Sanger 's departure , Wikipedia was managed by Wales and a burgeoning online community ; although he thought advertising a possibility , the Wikipedia community was opposed to business development and Internet marketing was difficult at the end of 2002 . Wikipedia remained a for @-@ profit venture ( under the auspices of Bomis ) through the end of 2002 . By then it had moved from a .com domain name to .org , and Wales said that the site would not accept advertising . Material from Nupedia was folded into Wikipedia , and by 2003 the former was discontinued .
