I see the post didn't mention the 5,000th article in question. Citizendium is one of the few big wikis where I haven't poked around and registered for an account (actually, probably the only one). This makes me wonder if they are living up to their goals. Is it 5,000 GA and/or FA quality articles, like they profess they are going to build better than Wikipedia? Or is it 5,000 total, with lots of schlock thrown in?
We should go through those 5000 articles, and compare them to the corresponding Wikipedia articles. (It would be good if we can get an independent body to do a sample of them too.) We should try and make sure our articles on subjects covered by Citizendium are at least as good as theirs - call it friendly rivalry. ;)
