Reminder! The Write-a-Thon approaches!

Writeathon.png
On Wednesday, February 6th we're inviting all Citizens to come to the wiki, start a new article, and edit somebody else's new article. It's a Write-a-Thon! It's a wiki-whoopie, a cyber-social, a collaborative kegger!

Welcome!

We are an encyclopedia project, and more.

We are a different sort of Web 2.0 wiki:

  • We aim at credibility and quality, not just quantity.
  • Both the general public and credentialed experts are encouraged to get involved.
  • We use our real names, not pseudonyms.
  • We're both collegial and congenial.

We have added [[:Category:CZ Live|over Template:Articles number articles]] (and many subpages), and over five million words.

Announcement: Eduzendium encourages university instructors to assign CZ topics to students!

Group Status: check it out; Citizens, add yourselves!
