A rapidly developing encyclopedia project&mdash;and more!

 * Our growing number of editor-approved articles are reliable and of world class quality, rivaling the best printed encyclopedias.
 * We currently have articles progressing toward editor approval or reapproval, and are adding more daily.  We do this by garnering the power of global, asynchronous wiki-based collaboration.
 * We welcome everyone who has knowledge, broad or narrow, about any of the world's innumerable subjects. Even our home page&mdash;this page&mdash;can be edited by any Citizen.
 * Our knowledge-sharing community is both collegial and congenial; everyone writes under his or her real name.
 * Eduzendium students are enrolled in formal higher education degree programs, and are assigned to author for their courses by their professors.

Write for the Citizendium—share your knowledge with the world!

 * Sign up&mdash;we need both authors and editors (you might be both!)
 * Then, get a quick start.
 * Remember, we are an open, growing project&mdash;it's easy to get involved!
 * Wikipedians are very welcome!
