| '''"To Approve" Template needs revision'''
| |
| | |
| Language on the template is an error, and a new template is needed. There is no “instantaneous" approval with 4 editors. I ask templates be submitted here, on the approvals notice board please. We need actual templates, rather than suggestions for templates, on this page. Thank you, [[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]] 06:42, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

| |
| | |
| *Remember, if you are an editor in either the biology workgroup (Bacteriophage) or the health sciences workgroup (Contraception-medical methods) and you have strong objections to the article in your workgroup, such that you think approval should ''not'' be granted: you are obligated to state these on the talk page to keep our process operating properly. If these objections remain as approval nears, you have the option of removing the approval template and stopping approval. This is a step that should not be taken lightly, but is the right thing to do over making a comment, as a workgroup editor, that you disagree with approval and leaving it at that (as has occurred in other articles before approval.)

| There are newly approved articles to announce, and a new category of article to talk about, as well. That sort of article is a Gallery, and like with most things at Citizendium beta, is still loose in the details. That means - your input is needed.
| |
| | |
| '''Newly Approved Articles'''
| |
| | |
| *The lead article for the Literature Workgroup, [[Literature]] has now been approved.
| |
| | |
| *The Media Workgroup now has its first approved article: [[Telephone Newspaper]].
| |
| | |
| *[[Complex number]] underwent an emergency copyedit, and [[Prime number]] was approved in a 1.1 version.
| |
| | |
| Congratulations are due to all concerned. Every one of these articles is a real asset to CZ and a fine accomplishment.
| |
| | |
| '''Now, about that gallery.''' The article [[Tux]] had a gallery associated with it, which is an article in the main space that had all the images, as well as some discussion about them. This "article" was also nominated for approval - but when it came time to do that- it was noted that everything in this article was essentially already in [[Tux]], and that the editor (Robert Tito) who had put up the approval nomination template ("to approve") had also made note in the discussion that maybe this was better not a separate article, with separate approval, after all. What to do? Now, in the case of [[Biology]] there was also a gallery generated. This kind of an "accessory page" is useful for some articles. There is also usefullness to freezing a version and so we went ahead with approval- but ''as'' a gallery, rather than as an article. [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] and [[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] were instrumental in helping me carry this out, and devising the process. A discussion is on Matt's talk page. There is still work to do on figuring out the mechanics of a template (please see that discussion).
| |
| | |
| This brings up the [[CZ:Approval_Process|Approval Process]], what it means, and how it is carried out. Expect a discussion here on the Approvals notice Board about that in the next days. In preparation for that review of Approvals- illustrated by actual cases, I would appreciate view points and questions, as well as (sigh) criticisms, to be put on my talk page, so that these can be incorporated.

| '''Spotlight on Developing Articles'''
| |
| | |
| *First well developed law article: [[Concurrent use registration]], a specialty topic in trademark law, was developed by its Wikipedia contributor, who brought it here and then made considerable further progress. Is there a lawyer in the house? Or a law professor? '''This article awaits an editor.'''
| |
| | |
| *A history article, [[Northwest_Passage]], is quite nearly complete, quite interesting — and beautifully illustrated, to boot! Who has the expertise to vet this article as editor?

| The big news this Tuesday is our 2 newly approved articles: [[Complex number]] and [[Prime number]]. These are the ''first'' mathematics articles ever nominated for approval!
| |
| {{click|image=Natural science button.png|link=CZ:Workgroups#Natural_Sciences|width=25px|height=25px}} | |
| Like the first Biology articles, these articles likely need copyediting and the nominating editors can contact me to effect these.[[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]] 08:49, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
| |
| | |
| *Like the ''first'' Biology article, there seems to be discussion that a line or two is not accurate, or at least well stated, in one of the articles. Is this a copyedit? No, but if 3 editors can quickly agree to fix it, a version 1.1. of a "glitched' newly approved article can be up within 24 hours.
| |
| | |
| '''Congratulations Mathematics Workgroup!'''
| |
| | |
| Just as no book was ever published (to my knowlege anyway) without need for an erratum or copyedit (if a reader looked closely enough), these articles are a real accomplishment on the part of co-operative effort to synthesize a good article on the wiki - but, as newly frozen articles are likely to be imperfect.
| |
| | |
| *Hopefully, editors will soon reach consensus on copyedits, and the workgroup will look over both articles for any outstanding issues to be QUICKLY corrected.
| |
| | |
| *Other changes, and further development of each article, will - of course- continue on the draft pages and ''all'' are welcome to author there.
| |
| | |
| *Now that the Mathematics group has learned how it's done, we look forward to many more articles from you.

| In the Literature Workgroup- the lead article: [[Literature]] is due for approval on May 10. Discussion and correction is welcome. If no Literature editor removes the template, or asks that the date be extended, approval will occur on May 10.

| The template for nominating an approved version point to a version, at the same time the draft is modified up until approval. How does the Constabulary know which version to approve? I call on the constabulary to answer here, please. [[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]]
| | ==<font size="3" color="660000"> June 2012 </font>== |
| :Keep in mind that the constable doesn't actually approve articles, only editors may do this. The constable only performs the mechanics of protecting the pages and setting up the draft versions. When the editor points to a version on the ToApprove template, that is the version that the constable performs the mechanics of approval and protects. Any edits made after the version that the editor pointed to will only be included in the new Draft version, not the Approved version. So technically, once an editor nominates a version for approval, authors may continue to work without being part of the approval process. Keep in mind that the approving editor (or editors) may update the version at any time before the "date to be approved" to include those new changes. So, when the the date of approval arrives, the constable performs the mechanics upon the version that the ToApprove template is pointing to on that day. --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 14:06, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

|
| What's the answer, then? It depends on the specific article and on communication between the nominating editor(s) and the constable approving the version - that's the answer. For the upcoming [[Literature]] article, for example, e-mails to the editor that nominated the article for approval may resolve any controversy over ''which'' version. Unless the template is changed to point to a new version,- or removed altogether by an editor in that workgroup-, when the approval date comes, it is the version pointed to by the template that the constable will approve. What if new incorporations in the draft would make it a better article? Well, then the article can be approved again- a new version, using the same rules that produced the first approval. Generally, however, if modifications between approved versions are minor, and the nominating editor(s) ask the constable for a short approval time between nomination and approval (like 24 hours) that will be granted.[[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]]

| It's an obscure topic, true- but a fascinating one! [[Telephone Newspaper]] is a window into the past development of journalism in electronic media - albeit ''very'' low voltage electronic media. 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.

| | |
| * A clear disclaimer
