about WP

  • One side effect of Wikipedia's style of operation is that certain articles have fallen under the control of a specific author, or small group of authors, who are driven by a narrow viewpoint and who abuse the complex rules of the wiki to prevent relative outsiders to introducing needed changes to the article. Since their identity is unknown, no one can really challenge their claims of expertise about a topic. They may cite books written by non-experts as authoritative, for example. Because they operate marginally within the rules of the wiki and may be well-known in the community because highly active, they are nearly impossible to defeat. Although this unethical but allowed "trolling" activity only occurs on a relatively small percentage of articles, it does mean that certain important topics are relatively biased and open debate is suppressed by, for example, immediately archiving dissenting remarks left on the article's Talk page, making it seem to readers as though there is no disagreement. This does not occur on Citizendium, where article Talk pages are not supposed to be archived except due to length or to remove abusive content.

Ad verbiage

The Citizendium wants to be a small, supportive community of collaborators who work on articles which could not be developed in Wikipedia, that are different from what Wikipedia now offers, though not necessarily either better or worse. Please understand that we love Wikipedia; most of us consult it several times per day. But we also understand its limitations, and that's why we support The Citizendium also, not as a competitor but as supplement. We acknowledge and honor Wikipedia's successes in seeking to be a complete compendium of everything; it would be futile to duplicate that effort. We also believe that the philosophy of "less is more" sometimes applies, where an important aspect of a topic can be emphasized without trying to include everything known about a given topic in a single article.

The Citizendium provides a different kind of collaborative environment than Wikipedia now offers. We use real names, and we have a modest number of active authors so that it becomes possible to know each other well. We strive for objectivity and quality--and civility. We consider ourselves to be a community. To help address control issues, we're open to having multiple articles developed on a single topic (to be located via a disambiguation page). For those who want more fully lead the direction of an article, we allow "lead authors" on articles. Led articles can still be collaborations, but the declared article leaders are the ones who get to guide the direction and emphasis of the article.

We have no problem whatsoever with people using The Citizendium as a staging area for an article to be copied elsewhere later (such as to Wikipedia, where it will likely be seen by more eyes). This is legal, with the following caveats: the article remains behind on The Citizendium (may not simply be deleted), and at its new home, attribution is given to The Citizendium as per our site license. In fact, we find these cases interesting to watch over time, to see how the two parallel articles evolve in their different hosts.

Lead author template examples

Ten examples of the Authors or Contribs template:

AUTHORS: 1 name

Authors [about]:
Jane Doe
CZ is an open collaboration. Please
join in to develop this article!

Note that '1' yields "and another author"; anything else (such as a 'y') yields "and other authors".

  • {{Authors|Pat Palmer}}
  • {{Authors|Pat Palmer|others=1}}
  • {{Authors|Pat Palmer|others=y}}

AUTHORS: multiple names

Authors [about]:
Pat Palmer1 | Pat Palmer2 | Pat Palmer3
CZ is an open collaboration. Please
join in to develop this article!

Let's see how the first one below looks (see right).

  • {{Authors|Pat Palmer1|Pat Palmer2|Pat Palmer3}}
  • {{Authors|Pat Palmer1|Pat Palmer2|Pat Palmer3|Pat Palmer4|others=1}}
  • {{Authors|Pat Palmer1|Pat Palmer2|Pat Palmer3|Pat Palmer4|others=y}}

CONTRIBS: invisible unless at least 5 contributors

Contributors [about]:
Pat Palmer | Pat Palmer | Pat Palmer | Pat Palmer | Pat Palmer and other contributors.

CZ is an open collaboration. Please join these people in developing this article!

And how let's see how the Contribs template looks (with 5+ names does).


  • {{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer}}
  • {{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer}}
  • {{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|others=1}}
  • {{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|others=y}}
