Actually, just a few seconds after I posted that thought of mine, then the exact same question (i.e. "Citizendium?") popped into my head too, but in knowing that Citizendium was born over a decade ago, and never took off, then I didn't go back to muse or research it further.Tim22 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2023 7:33 pmCitizendium?DexterPointy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 1:13 pm....
Imagine what Wikipedia would look like if articles were written as a collaborative effort by people who actually had a degree in, or within the vicinity of, the topic in question.
Well, it turns out that Citizendium isn't dead, but is (as I perceive it, and figuratively speaking without in depth research) sitting there as a patient which nobody has shown the mercy of pulling the plug on.
But! What I did (spending only about 10 minutes at the Citizendium website) find very surprising is that Citizendium seems to have let go of their requirement/convention/rule on competency: Read Note 3, on Citizendium:"CZ:We aren't Wikipedia"
off-topic: Larry Sanger comes across as a bit of a one-trick-pony. I found a short (likely incomplete) rehash of Larry's trajectory post-attempts of Citizendium at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rt0eAPLDkM&t=679s .
