A Supportive Community of Writers in a Wikipedia-like Setting

Welcome to Citizendium, a wiki for providing free knowledge where authors use their real names. We welcome anyone who wants to share their knowledge by writing and improving articles on virtually any subject. Please consider joining us!

See Recent Changes—an overview of articles we are writing now.

While this wiki was unsuccessful in achieving its original goals from fifteen years ago (see https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-Wikipedia-and-Citizendium), a dedicated few writers have continued working in the wiki, improving articles that they believe are useful, and which for various reasons probably could not be written in Wikipedia. We intend to keep the wiki running.
