Welcome to the Citizendium Pilot Project The Citizendium (sit-ih-ZEN-dee-um), a "citizens' compendium of everything," is an experimental new wiki project that combines public participation with expert guidance. It began life as a "gradual fork" of Wikipedia. But it has taken on a life of its own and will, perhaps, become the flagship of a new set of responsibly-managed free knowledge projects. Because there will probably always be articles in the resource that have not been vouched for in any sense, and because the sheer size of the resource actually changes the nature of the beast, it is not an "encyclopedia." It is something new.
Approved articles Approved Articles represent what Citizendium is all about: Combining the energy of countless contributors with the wisdom of recognized experts. Browse the list of approved articles to see some of Citizendium's finest. This week's approved article is: Biology		Live articles Live articles are those that have been edited by a Citizendium contributor after being forked. This means that while they have not yet reached the standard of an approved article, work is actively being done on them. Browse our live article list to see if there is one you can help out on. This week's live article is: Abbotsford House		Disciplines Citizendium personnel are informally divided up into discipline workgroups. Workgroup's homepages are at Φ. The articles corresponding to workgroup names are good places to look for important articles to edit, and we want these articles themselves to be excellent as well.
