Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger has had it up to here – and, if you can't see us gesturing, we're pointing at Dakota Fanning's chin – with the free-for-all taking place at the Web's everyman encyclopedia. Too much unobjective content. Too little oversight. Not enough money being made. (Well, we invented that one, but it could very well be true.) So what's a Net genius who broke off from the widely-accepted Web reference standard to do? Stir up some competition, baby. Cue Citizendium.

The latest venture from Larry Sanger, who helped create Wikipedia in 2001, is intended to bring more order to this creative chaos by drawing on traditional measures of authority. Though still open to submissions from anyone, the power to authorise articles will be given to editors who can prove their expertise, as well as a group of volunteer “constables”, charged with keeping the peace between warring interests.

Or, you know, Wikipedia with the "moderated" box checked.
