Hello, I am just a lonely "student" but I think citizendium can exist on two planes. This is one problem that I seem to find with wikipedia, I can do research on it but when it comes time to do more in depth research and get a greater comprehension of subjects wilipedia seems to be lacking. I like to start with basic research and comprehension on new subject with wikipedia, but when it comes to more specialized ideas and areas (like politics) you seem to have a few elite writers with the same opinions. What is citizendium for if it is not for research? I love to learn and I find myself skimming wikipedia aimlessly for hours sometimes, but the best part of the Internet and an encyclopedia online is the ease of access and the speed of research. I feel that there can be two types of articles here, serious peer reviewed scholarly articles based on singular topics (i.e. such as knowledge politics) trying to get a clear and accurate definition that can be agreed upon by enough editors to have a majority in that field, and a lot of basic data like wikipedia that even high schoolers and college student can use to start there research on a certain subject.
