Since Citizendium is a relatively a new source of encyclopedia in the market, it will take a while getting its reputation and status up in the market. Moreover, the uniqueness rising in Citizendium already exists among Wikipedia and its information. However, there are some positive sides of Citizendium. It is going to be edited by only the professionals and the experts in the particular subject. Its most powerful weapon will be its biggest weakness as well. Since only experts edit it, information believed to be accurate is going to be accurate. If the experts themselves are inaccurate in their information, the information corresponding to their
