Larry Sanger Quotations

What the world really needs is a single information resource that excels across the board. We will start engaging the public in various ways this year.

Availability is best achieved by making the resource both widespread and as inexpensive as possible.

Accuracy is going to increase the more expert eyeballs get at the topic.

High quality of content is essential because we want an information resource to allow us to gain knowledge. Quality is determined by accuracy and completeness.

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

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

Citizendium is based on the failings and unreliability of Wikipedia.

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).

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.

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