Wikipedia VS Citizendium, who wins ?

So many things have been writing about Wikipedia and one of them is its inaccuracies and lack of controls. If Larry Sanger want to set up a parallel encyclopedia it is welcomed development, moreover if Citizendium is coming as an alternative to wikipedia simply because

"Congressmen and their aides were doctoring their entries to flatter their records and to erase embarrassingly unfulfilled promises.

And public figures often have their profiles vandalised. Tony Blair was briefly given the job title "Bush's bitch boy" before the offending posting was reversed by Wikipedia's administrators and the organisation was forced to compromise its free-for-all principles. Public editing of Mr Blair's entry and that of President Bush is now disabled, with only registered members able to request changes".
.

Then an encyclopedia that will serve only the public figures, but not for the general benefits of the wider Internet audience will be subjected to more abuse and manipulations than the same Wikipedia he is trying to rival.

Healthy competition will spur the Jimmy Wales and his teams to correct all the imbalances created as a result of laxity in control of the edition of my reliable Wikipedia that had served me diligently since its inception.
