This page is pretty much dead, but is being retained as a memorial. Please edit it to keep it fresh! Citizendium and thus this page has either outlived its usefulness, or, through neglect and/or indifference, become mostly unused. If you wish to reinvigorate it, just pitch in and add something.

What is going on?
Note: Citizendium is a bit like a bad horror film: just when you think it's dead, it comes back and does something ridiculous. That said, we're pretty much documenting its terminal decline now. The WIGO is, however, still open to entries.

April 2024[edit]
   | 7 | We may ridicule Citizendium for infrequent updates to their articles, but at least some exist... until they just delete them. For example, not only has the article on noted philosopher Daniel Dennett not been updated to reflect recent terminal news, but it has also been found unworthy of the great encyclopedia. |
