Citizendium[ˌsɪtɨˈzɛndiəm] (engl.citizen: građanin +[compen]dium: kompendij), projektslobodne enciklopedije naengleskom jeziku zasnovan nawikiju koji je kao »građanskikompendij svega«[1] pokrenuoLarry Sanger, jedan od dvojice suosnivačaWikipedije.[2][3]
Sangeru se nije svidjela činjenica da po Wikipediji svatko može napisati što želi, bez odgovornosti i posve anonimno. Stoga je izašao izuprave Wikipedije i pokrenuo Citizendium-online-enciklopediju u kojoj ipak ima malo više reda. Onaj tko želi dodati novi članak u Citizendium morat će se registrirati, i to pravimimenom iprezimenom, a izradu i kvalitetu novih članaka nadgledat ćeznanstvenici i stručnjaci u određenim područjima. Sve će i dalje biti besplatno i na dobrovoljnoj bazi, baš kao i na Wikipediji. Na Citizendiumu se trenutno nalazi 10.000 članaka[4], što je ujedno i najveći problem s kojim će se ova nova enciklopedija morati suočiti: izgradnja dovoljne količine sadržaja da postane ozbiljan konkurent Wikipediji.

Pristupljeno 25. marta 2007. »The nascent Web encyclopedia Citizendium springs from Larry Sanger, a philosophy Ph.D. who counts himself as a co-founder of Wikipedia, the site he now hopes to usurp. The claim doesn't seem particularly controversial — Sanger has long been cited as a co-founder. Yet the other founder, Jimmy Wales, isn't happy about it.«

Pristupljeno 25. marta 2007. »Larry Sanger seems to have a thing about free online encyclopedias. Although his main claim to fame is as the co-founder, along with Jimmy Wales, of Wikipedia, that is just one of several projects to produce large-scale, systematic stores of human knowledge he has been involved in.
