Expert wiki lacks content users crave
' site review
All of us have used Wikipedia to uncover or check a fact, making the online
encyclopaedia one of the web's fastest-
growing sites. But there is some doubt as to whether the "facts" in Wikipedia can always be trusted. Citizendium, a new wiki-based encyclopaedia, uses old-fashioned publishing methods of expert editors to fact-check its entries and police contributions. So how do the two sites compare?
Citizendium is a close sibling to Wikipedia. Both share a founding father in Larry Sanger, but Sanger has specifically created Citizendium in response to criticisms of Wikipedia, some of which he himself has voiced.
