Imported from Wikipedia for a preliminary version, which will require a good deal of work.
Requesting a moratorium on changes while I do initial Citizendium import fixups and make some of the most badly needed changes to the text.
The version selected is the one that was current at the end of June, 2004[1], the product of some 6+ months of work after it was given Featured Article status. Since that time many improvements have been made in the Wikipedia text, but on balance it has become more flabby and poorly organized, and more argumentative (in a generally non-scholarly way), rather than less. Hence this semi-arbitrary choice of a starting point. Daniel Drake 11:27, 1 April 2007 (CDT)
Imported from Wikipedia for a preliminary version, which will require a good deal of work.
Requesting a moratorium on changes while I do initial Citizendium import fixups and make some of the most badly needed changes to the text.
The version selected is the one that was current at the end of June, 2004[2], the product of some 6+ months of work after it was given Featured Article status. Since that time many improvements have been made in the Wikipedia text, but on balance it has become more flabby and poorly organized, and more argumentative (in a generally non-scholarly way), rather than less. Hence this semi-arbitrary choice of a starting point.

Added the Wikipedia template to the end of text. Now, do I go on checking the Wikipedia-cotent box (which seems to be on by default) with every submission of new content? Have inquired on a more relevant talk page now. Daniel Drake 11:27, 1 April 2007 (CDT)
