Larry Sanger quotes:

Citizendium is based on the failings and unreliability of Wikipedia.

I know Wikipedia is very cool. A lot of people do not think so, but of course they are wrong.

Quality is determined by accuracy and completeness.

Wikipedia will be small, disreputable, and unimportant compared to CZ in a few more years. Uh, ;-)

We need to get rid of all remnants of bureaucracy and bureaucratic thinking, and start thinking like entrepreneurs again.

We should be worried about online silos. They make us stupid and hostile toward each other.

Wikipedia lacks the habit or tradition of respect for expertise. As a community, far from being elitist (which would, in this context, mean excluding the unwashed masses), it is anti-elitist (which, in this context, means that expertise is not accorded any special respect, and snubs and disrespect of expertise is tolerated).
