'''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 [[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.

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.
