Put Citizendium in that list alongside a whole lot of sources that people have actually heard of? A list of "places which are often regarded as reliable"? I think that's giving them a bit more credit than they deserve.
I'm inclined to think that even mentioning them on this list is giving them more credit than they deserve, but I'll be tolerant for now.
Well, some of them - or at least, Britannica - are groups that get press for bragging about how much more reliable they are than Wikipedia, while at the same time disclaiming their reliability to the maximum extent permitted by law in similar language to our own disclaimers.
Citizendium is not on the same scale, but its hubris is.
