Citizendium – the citizens' compendium is a wiki site that aims to gather knowledge more effectively than Wikipedia, and aims at quality as well as quantity.

Original 2006 Citizendium

The Citizendium wiki site was founded by Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger, together with Peter Hitchmough, in October 2006[1] (although not 'officially' launched until 28 March 2007) to remedy what he viewed as problems with Wikipedia. The site requires the use of verifiable real names and academic credentials. Initially, the community considered forking the English Wikipedia, but decided against it.

Citizendium has an organized hierarchy: 'Authors' are anyone with an approved account, while 'Editors' are contributors whose demonstrated expertise in their field is officially recognized by the Citizendium. 'Constables' play the role of administrators.

The site has Approved Articles which pass a process of review. Several of the most extensive articles are on homeopathy and alternative medicine.

Larry Sanger became largely inactive in the project after 2010, and it has since had three-to-four different primary editors. In 2020, Larry Sanger transferred ownership of the domain to the current primary editor.
