The Citizendium, like virtually all wikis, could have an "Under Construction" sign on every page. Wikis are not conducive to instant perfection; high quality is achieved iteratively, gradually, over time and usually after quite a bit of interaction with others.

So what does that mean? It means: go ahead, add something. It doesn't have to be perfect, it only has to be editable. In other words, if someone else won't have to delete what you've added in order to make progress on the article, then add away!

This means that we will tolerate what are called "stub entries" or just "stubs." These are short entries, say between 50 and 250 words. (Don't bother with anything shorter than that.) But if you're motivated to do much work, please focus on just a few articles rather than making dozens of small ones.
