Citizendium is an online collaborative volunteer community that works much like Wikipedia to provide encyclopedic inspired information. Citizendium differs from Wikipedia in that it emphasizes information quality. Volunteer information providers must provide their real name in order to become editors, and information must be confirmed by experts in order to be published on the site.[1]
