Citizendium – the citizens' compendium is a wiki site that aims to gather knowledge similarly to Wikipedia, but where authors use their real names.

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.

2020 restart

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.
