News of the Citizendium project appeared for me on wikinews last week. I appreaciate your attention to the ensuing discussion. As a late-comer to the discourse about authority and expertise, I find this a fascinating review of issues that arose with Wikipedia’s popularity. The questions of who gets heard, who gets to choose, and who chooses the choosers are important when we need to make sense of any information that gains currency.
