[[Image:Prime rectangles.png|thumb|left|300px|'''The prime number 11 illustrated with square tiles.''' 12 squares can be arranged into a rectangle with sides of length 3 and 4, so 12 is not a prime number. There is no way to form a full rectangle more than one square wide with 11 squares, so 11 is a prime number.]]
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!

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.

{{Notice|Europe|S|}}


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.

In the Media Workgroup: [[Telephone Newspaper]] is due for approval on May 11.
{{Box.green|{{:Template:ApprovalProcessListBrief}}}}
 
==''WHICH'' version gets approved?==
 
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]]
: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 authors - 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.

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. Will it languish, fully formed, for want of approval?

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

Copying Jason's post from the Forums [http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,844.0.html]: 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.
