An alternative to the discredited wikipedia - www.Citizendium.org
Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2009 10:27 am
NEW good and viable alternative to wikipedia called Citizendium.org
This site was founded by one of the two gentlemen who started wikipedia, Larry Sanger. Larry was concerned about the misinformation on wikipedia written by anonymous people, many of whom are not experts. Therefore, on www.Citizendium.org , he requires every author to edit under their real names.
He and the Editorial Council grant authority to those people who are real experts and gives them the position of "editor." An article remains in "draft" stage (and is not readable by the public) until three "editors" propose acceptance of the article to an "Editorial Council."
