The Citizendium (sit-ih-ZEN-dee-um), a "citizens' compendium of everything," is an experimental new wiki project started by a co-founder of Wikipedia with the aim of improving on that model by adding "gentle expert oversight" and requiring contributors to use their real names. The pilot project launched in November 2006 and became public in March 2007. As of July 11, 2007, we were working on over 2,300 articles. | ||||||||||||||||

See our work: Browse articles alphabetically Meet our contributors: authors are the folks who write the articles, and discuss them on discussion pages. Some are also expert editors, who nominate articles for approval. Most of our constables, who get new folks on board, and ensure everything runs smoothly, are also authors - and some are editors, too. We work together, learn together, and try to make our dream of a great and free encyclopedia come true - together.
