[WikiEN-l] Citizendium vs. Wikipedia

[Bill Carter]

Maaaayybe NPOV could work with specialist wiki-based encyclopedias. But with Wikipedia, NPOV is only good so long as an article is popular or not controversial.

With Citizendium, it remains to be seen.

I like that Wikipedia has led to a proliferation of specialist
wiki-based encyclopedias. In most cases the key difference is allowing
original research.
