'''Citizendium – ''the citizens' compendium''''' aims to gather {{tag|knowledge}} more effectively than [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], and aims at quality as well as quantity.


It was founded by Wikipedia co-founder [[Larry Sanger]] in 2006 to remedy what he viewed as problems with Wikipedia.  The site requires the use of verifiable {{tag|RealNamesNetwork|real names}} and academic credentials.  Initially, the community considered [[fork]]ing the [[English Wikipedia]], but decided against it.
'''Citizendium''' ('''CZ''') is a [[What is a Wiki|wiki site]] that aims to gather free {{tag|knowledge}} similarly to [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], but where [[Editor|authors]] use their [[WikiIndex:Real names|real name]]s.  The wiki's current working style and goals (since the [[#2020: Citizendium restart|2020 ownership change]]) are discussed [https://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Who_we_are_in_2021 here].  In 2022, the wiki has 1175 developed articles, 8824 developing articles, and several thousand stubs.  It also still has 153 so-called 'Citable' articles which were formerly approved by 'experts'.{{Clarify}} The status of these is currently under review, and many are being reverted to regular status due to not having been kept up-to-date.  As of 2022, the participation rate is low (only a few dozen contributors), but the experience for contributors is arguably more congenial and productive than for comparable wikis with [[anonymous]] contributors.


Larry Sanger left the project around 2010, and it has since had 3-4 different primary editors.  In 2020, Larry Sanger transferred ownership of the domain to the current primary editor.
===2006: original Citizendium===
The Citizendium [[wiki]] site was founded by [[English Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] co-founder [[Larry Sanger]], together with Peter Hitchmough, in October {{tag|Founded in 2006|2006}}[https://en.citizendium.org/wiki/index.php?title=Welcome_to_Citizendium&dir=prev&action=history] (although not 'officially' launched until 28 March [[:Category:Founded in 2007|2007]]) to remedy what he viewed as problems with Wikipedia.  The site requires the use of [[verifiable]] {{tag|Real names network|real names}}, and it originally required {{tag|academic}} credentials (no longer true).  Authors use their real names, and must provide a brief description of their credentials on the [[User page]].  Initially, the community considered [[fork]]ing the [[English Wikipedia]], but decided against it.

===2020: Citizendium restart===
Larry Sanger became largely inactive in the project after 2010, and it has since had three-to-four different primary [[editor]]s.  In 2020, Larry Sanger transferred ownership of the domain to the current primary editor.

From its foundation in 2006 under the tenure of Larry Sanger, the Citizendium wiki released its textual content under the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 3.0 Unported license}} (CC-BY-SA-3.0)[https://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Creative_Commons_CC-by-sa_3.0].  From its 2020 restart, it changed to the more restrictive {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike 4.0 International license}} (CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0).
