I've been working on the RationalWiki article on the decline and
all-but-collapse of Citizendium:
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Citizendium - CZ now has less
contributors or actitvity than *Conservapedia*. And a lot of that was
due to hasty interventions from the founder. (Leading to this final
last-ditch attempt to drum up interest by attacking Wikipedia.)

I doubt Wikimedia is going to collapse soon, it's a bit big. But this
sort of thing drives away the community disproportionately.
