Modern Dragons, Now With 20% More Umlauts

CHiLLi.cc, an Austrian youth magazine, is running a short article on Citizendium written by yours truly! You can check it out in its original English form or the German translation. It’s a good summary of the differences between Citizendium and Wikipedia and the rationale for those differences.

Some personal musings-
The realities of Citizendium’s situation mean that the more we publicize Wikipedia’s flaws the more likely we are to succeed. That’s not something I relish, as I personally like Wikipedia a lot for what it is, and I’d also rather be making Wikipedia better than criticizing it– but since a thriving Citizendium is good for the world (and, I strongly believe, good for Wikipedia itself) I’ve accepted it.

Tip o’ the hat, Wikipedia.
