Citizendium ( ; "the citizens' compendium of everything") is an English-language wiki-based free encyclopedia project launched by Larry Sanger, who had previously co-founded Wikipedia in 2001. It was first announced in September 2006 as a fork of the English Wikipedia,〔Andrew Orlowski.("Wikipedia founder forks Wikipedia, More experts, less fiddling?" ), ''The Register'', 18 September 2006. In software engineering, a project fork occurs when developers take a copy of source code from one software package and start independent development on it, creating a distinct piece of software.〕 but that idea was abandoned prior to its March 2007 public launch in favor of emphasizing original articles. The project aims to improve on the Wikipedia model by providing increased reliability. It hopes to achieve this by requiring virtually all contributors to use their real names, by strictly moderating the project for unprofessional behavior, by providing what it calls "gentle expert oversight" of everyday contributors, and also through its "approved articles". Approved articles have undergone a form of peer-review by topic experts with credentials, and are closed to real-time editing. By 27 October 2011, the site had fewer than 100 active members. , it had 16,484 articles, of which 165 had achieved editorial approval, and around 10 contributors making at least 20 edits a month.〔("Welcome to Citizendium" ), Citizendium.

("Co-Founder to Launch Edited Version of Wikipedia: Pilot Project for the Citizendium to Launch This Week" ), Citizendium, 17 October 2006.〕 In August 2007, he captioned its pages "The world needs a more credible free encyclopedia." The project began its pilot phase in October and November 2006. On 18 January 2007, a change of plans was announced. Sanger announced on the CZ mailing list that only articles marked "CZ Live", those which have been or will soon be worked on by Citizendium contributors, would remain on the site, and all other articles forked from Wikipedia would be deleted. Not all Citizendium contributors were supportive of this change, but Sanger emphasized that this deletion was "an experiment" and a new set of Wikipedia articles could be uploaded if the experiment were deemed unsuccessful.〔Larry Sanger.
