Welcome!
Page in progress

This is the home page of the Citizendium project. It's a notice board and central launch point for community pages. From here, you can get started, get technical help, read about content policy, explore our articles and organization, and much more.
We're deeply committed to making a reliable, free, and enormous general reference source. We've shown to our delight that we can create a more mature wiki community, open to the public, led by experts, with all using their real identities; so we're in it for the long haul.

Won't you join in?

Notice Board
September 8, 2007
We're pushing toward 3,000 articles for our September 15 anniversary. It would be great if you would add a couple new articles within the next week!
Notice all the many changes to the way our community pages are now organized. CZ:Home will be the new home page for our community pages. For details about what I (LMS) have been doing to the pages, see CZ:Community Pages. I hope you like the changes.
September 5, 2007
The big monthly "Write-a-Thon," takes place this Wednesday (September 5, which starts on September 4, 1200 UTC, in New Zealand, and ends on September 6, 1000 UTC, in Hawaii). Come start a new article, edit a new article, and join a global rolling party! The last time was lots of fun and created bunches of free, excellent content. So let's do it again!
CZ:Monthly Write-a-Thon
If you need an excuse to spend some "quality time" on the wiki, this is it.

This new page is under construction! For now, please see CZ:Project Home.
