A project to develop a comprehensive compendium of knowledge

Welcome to Citizendium, a wiki for providing free knowledge where authors use their real, verified names. We welcome anyone who wants to share their knowledge by writing and improving articles on virtually any subject.

While this wiki was unsuccessful in achieving its original goals (see https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-Wikipedia-and-Citizendium), a dedicated few writers have continued working in the wiki, improving articles that they believe are useful, and which for various reasons probably could not be written in Wikipedia. On or about Sept. 30, 2020, we plant to end Citizendium as a public project, yet keep the wiki running by a combination of donations and subscriptions.

See Recent Changes—an overview of articles we are writing now.
