I expect both projects have a similar systematic bias, but it's really
just a matter of priorities, rather than anything permanent. We're
naturally going to prioritise articles relevant to the
English-speaking world. There are far more than 5000 articles relevant
to the English-speaking world, so Citizendium hasn't got around to
other articles yet, Wikipedia already has all the obviously important
articles that we consider high priority, so we've started on the lower
priority ones.
