Put simply, does this mean that the scope of Citizendium covers fewer articles than wikipedia? If so, out of the 1m or so articles on wikipedia, could you give a feel for how many should be covered on Citizendium? 1 in 10? 1 in 100?

Some articles in any encyclopedia are static in nature, they are usually on a '''smaller''' topic or less notable topic. Since all edits to an article are documented, and dated, a reader can see when the information was current. Even if the article has not been "maintained" it could still be of interest to a reader. If these articles are deleted then they should go into some sort of '''tombs''' or into another segment of CZ for example '''en.citizendium.org/Local:''subject name - date of last edit'' '''. Someday CZ may have enough authors to document every local school, every county, who knows. I know that when it starts to have that depth, with editing controls, then CZ will be '''the reference''' source. | |||

Some articles in any encyclopedia are static in nature, they are usually on a smaller topic or less notable topic. Since all edits to an article are documented, and dated, a reader can see when the information was current. Even if the article has not been "maintained" it could still be of interest to a reader. If these articles are deleted then they should go into some sort of tombs or into another segment of CZ for example en.citizendium.org/Local:subject name - date of last edit . Someday CZ may have enough authors to document every local school, every county, who knows. I know that when it starts to have that depth, with editing controls, then CZ will be the reference source.
