Another story about Citizendium? - Burpelson AFB ✈ 12:31, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, and one where we cite Ciizendium citing Rationalwiki writing about Citizendium... Rich Farmbrough, 13:38, 20 September 2011 (UTC).


 * Hmm? That's only the ninth mention of Citizendium this year in The Signpost, and (I would say) the fourth story to give it more than a mere mention-in-passing; the last one of those was two months ago. - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 16:02, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought it was a great story. I've wondered about Citizendium before, and now most of my questions have been answered.  Their decline seems to be an exaggerated version of our own. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 04:12, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * "Wikipedians too have taken non-competitive perspectives on Citizendium, e.g. porting some of its content to Wikipedia" On the contrary, I've always thought of WP:CZPORT as a competitive initiative. --Cyber cobra (talk) 23:08, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Citizendium publishing discussion
Do you find articles on Citizendium worthy of inclusion in the Singpost? -
 * I do. I think they're interesting, and I think Citizendium is an important project: at the very least, it's one that lessons on how to manage large websites and foster communities can be learned from. As such, I hope that the Signpost will continue to report on it. 82.83.130.105 (talk) 12:23, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * [No.]  S ven M anguard   Wha?  10:01, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Most aren't. This one was, but only because it was Citizendium's 5th anniversary. Let's see how many issues of the Signpost we can go without another mention. -- llywrch (talk) 17:01, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The post needs content, so if someone is willing to write about something WP related, then it's a good thing. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 00:12, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * One article every two months seems entirely appropriate to me. Citizendium is both interesting as a competitor and as an ally in the core mission of free information dissemination. - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 11:24, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd like to encourage ongoing coverage of Citizendium. It has many of our aims and its good to be informed of the wider environment in which Wikipedia exists. --bodnotbod (talk) 13:24, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * An obituary for Mr. Lemiszki appears at . My condolences to his family. Carrite (talk) 21:31, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I, and (I think) many Wikipedians feel likewise. - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 11:24, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
