Citizendium wiki puts experts in charge
Laura Smith
The co-founder of Wikipedia, Larry Sanger, is to launch a competitor to the online encyclopaedia in which experts will be given the authority to edit the site's content.
Although Citizendium, or "the citizens' compendium of everything", will initially take its content from Wikipedia, it will be repackaged with contributions and corrections by academics and other subject experts.
Announcing the project on the Citizendium website, Sanger said that it was "an experimental new wiki project that will combine public participation with gentle expert guidance"
and a "progressive fork" of Wikipedia.
