Wikipedia Review was originally founded in November 2005, by a person calling himself Igor Alexander (this was merely a screen name), on the forum hosting site ProBoards. It is now located at its own domain name created by the user Blissyu2. Selina was the first user on the site, and was a prominent member at the old ProBoards forum, along with Blissyu2. The site requires registration using a valid e-mail address to post and claims to discourage the operation of multiple accounts by a single user.

Blissyu2 is now banned from the site, and the user Somey, who was not one of the forum's original members, is now the operator and administrator of the site. The forum is run by [[Invision Power Board]] (IPB) software.
