I am deeply involved in Polish Wikimedia projects.
My story with Wikimedia projects begun one month after launching polish edition of Wikipedia (at 2001), as a 7th registered user. Several weeks later I have also joined English Wikipedia, but I have registered there one year later, and have never been very active there.
In Polish Wikipedia I was mainly involved in editing chemical articles, translating basic meta articles from English Wikipedia, and also many articles for various other areas of knowledge. I don’t know exactly how many articles I have written from 2001 but my estimation it is in between of 2000-3000 serious content additions. I have around 30 000 edditions which places me among top 20 most active Polish Wikipedia editors. Currently, I am responsible for maintaining Chemistry Wikiportal and category chemistry on Polish Wikipedia.
I am also admin of Polish Wikipedia almost from its beginning. I am administering featured articles candidates discussions and also "Report a wrong information" page. I am a member of informal "cleaning department" on Polish Wikipedia.
I am a treasurer of Polish Wikimedia Chapter.
In fact, I have registered here to have opportunity to read Citzendium. I am not going to participate. As I understand you require people to register to be able to edit your articles, I really don't understand for what purpose you force to register people who just want to read. It may make Citizendium less popular.
