This is the home page for the ''Citizendium'' pilot project.  Our aim here is to set up a functioning ''Citizendium'' wiki encyclopedia project, demonstrate that it can work, and get it ready for a public launch.
 
'''IF YOU HAVE NOT APPLIED YET TO JOIN THE PILOT PROJECT''' please [http://www.citizendium.org/cfa.html  follow this link] for more information and application directions.
 
What is the most important thing that we could be doing here?  Simple: work on articles.  The more articles we greatly improve over the Wikipedia versions, the more viable our enterprise is going to look to the rest of the world, and the more people will join in and ''make'' it viable.  The content-rich get content-richer!  So please get started!
 
'''If you're new, please read''' [[Citizendium_Pilot:How_to_get_started_with_the_Citizendium_pilot|how to get started with the Citizendium pilot]]!  It tells you to use <nowiki>[[Category:CZ Live]]</nowiki> on articles you've edited, and other essential tips.
 
Everyone, be sure to check the [[CZ:Notice Board|Notice Board]] regularly!

Welcome to the Citizendium Pilot Project!

The account of this former contributor was not re-activated after the server upgrade of March 2022. 


User:Aaron Brenneman/Sandbox0/MainPageWelcome

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.
