May 3, 2007
This Thursday we'd like to focus on developing articles that require editors' and authors' attention.
The lead article in the Literature Workgroup is coming along beautifully. Are there Literature editors out there who have not yet applied for Editorship? Granted, it's a steep hurdle for qualifications - but if you have a Ph D in Literature or related fields, please e-mail personnel@citizendium.org. This is an important article that is on the verge of blossoming. Eyes wanted.
All interested editors, authors and readers, please see Literature.
New media of the last "turn of the century: Telephone_Newspaper
It's an obscure topic, true- but a fascinating one! Telephone_Newspaper is a window into the past development of journalism in electronic mediums - albeit very low voltage electronic mediums. Is this article properly classified as to workgoup? It certainly seems that nomination for approval should be the next step by the editor(s) who can perform due diligence and verify accuracy. Will it languish, fully formed, for want of approval?
Where is its nominating editor?
Telephone_Newspaper awaits you!
Now, Here's one we have the editors for, getting into shape for approval nomination requires meeting a different sort of challenge. This article is inter-disciplinary to its core, at least among the sciences, including social sciences, and -it's in the workgroup - philosophy, too.
- Can there be a swarm of authors and editors that buzz this one into high polish?
- Or will it continue its tradition of being one of Citizendium's magnets for contention ?
Scientific method is developed, and has been developing - as well as been deconstructed- for a very long time. Now is the time for all good men and women to review:
- Articles newly nominated for approval:
Two mathematics articles are now up for approval: Complex number and Prime number. These are the first mathematics articles ever nominated for approval! I've copied the nominating editor's remarks from the Forums below: Note that these articles can still be improved before the approval takes hold on Sunday, May 6. In particular, a few sections were rearranged or moved to other articles recently, so the current version probably doesn't flow as well as it used to from section to section. But also there are several comments on their discussion pages that haven't been addressed yet; while many of them can wait for the future, we might as well try to get as good a first version approved as we can. So be bold! Greg Martin

This announcement is for the wiki hackers among us: the skin for Approved articles needs a facial.
What's needed? (All registered users should feel free to add to & edit this list)
- Approved articles need a look that tells the user that he or she is reading an approved article
- A conventional means of indicating important facts (such as: nominating editor, date approved, list of approving editors) is also needed
- A clear disclaimer
What's been said so far?
Here are threads on the forum that all deserve our attention (please add to these):
- Article Approval notice box size too large? http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,861.0.html
- Re: Proof versions of articles« Reply #32 on: April 19, 2007, 04:43:23 PM »[1]
- Should there be a Group Approval Template? [2]
Here are current pages on Citizendium that have to do with Approval templates:
- Our current Nomination for Approval Template http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Template:ToApprove
Invitation to link sandbox trials here
(To make your own sandbox page, edit your user page and create a link to the sandbox page as if it already existed, like this: [[User:Nancy_Sculerati/Sandbox]]. After completing the edit, you'll see the red link; just click on the red link to start the new page. Any author can create a page anywhere in the same way. -- as per Pat Palmer)
Perhaps drafts of templates and styles for approved articles might be linked here?

Developing articles that need editors to nominate them for approval (or indicate what is needed before such nomination can be made):
Copying Jason's post from the Forums [3]: I have a favor to ask of the History Workgroup. The article First Punic War appears high on Google searches. It has been steadily climibing, currently 10 to 12 in rank on a search for first punic war. If this article can be pushed along to approved status, this would be good PR. -Jason Potkanski Tech Lead
