No explanation was necessary, Mikael. But I don't know why you think there can't be two encyclopedias. There are already very many, aren't there? Can't humanity support more than one big wiki encyclopedia? --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 03:34, 25 July 2007 (CDT) | No explanation was necessary, Mikael.

My inactivity so far
As of July 2007 I'm still rather inactive in my contribution to Citizendium. The reason is that I'm still considering whether my faith lies within Citizendium or Wikipedia. In fact, I'm a little bit sceptical to this whole project. I mean, it will never attract as many editors as Wikipedia, and therefore probably never will have the same amount of creation, scrutiny and editing of information. In contrast, it rather pulls the expertise away from the people. When people look for information they look at Wikipedia, because that's were they find everything (even the smallest piece of dust). Therefore I think isolation to an own little island of knowledge is letting the people down.
However, it is a beta version after all, so I'll wait and see. Mikael Häggström 03:30, 25 July 2007 (CDT)
