I am just wondering why insteed of criticizing Wikipedia on here and wasting human ressources we could not creat a true alternative? I am experienced with article editing and have many idea's on how to improve the concept of a free encyclopedia. An alternative would be great. I've read about citizendium and I think the concept is flawed, I've took a look at Fred Bauder project, the concept is also flawed, NPOV is the way to go. Many here are critical and have for sure good idea's and know what is wrong with Wikipedia, why not producing a better product? I'm serious and I know it'll take a huge server and it is expensive, but isen't there a way to collect money or something?

We should canalise all this energy and make something really constructive, I am not saying that we should stop criticising Wikipedia, but that we could build what we've hopped Wikipedia to be. Higher standard on everything, like minimal conditions before requesting adminship, better editorial policies. A better mediation process etc.

A better, more credible product will be what would destroy Wikipedia. If we could not improve it, we have to replace it with an overal better product.
