The procedure is virtually identical to that for authors; see Application Review Procedure. Here are the differences, and additional notes:

  • Duly designated editorial personnel administrators can make decisions on editor applications.
  • If there is some significant question about a particular application, consult the editorial administrator list.
  • We check for (and, if necessary, request) more pieces of information (see above). We must be quite sure that the person has the main credentials he or she claims. This requires a link to a credible Web site where the person's e-mail address can be found, or some equally credible means of establishing bona fides.
  • We use {{ewelcome}} (the "editor welcome" template) rather than {{awelcome}}.
  • We add both [[Category:CZ Editors]] and the category of the most appropriate workgroup, such as [[Category:Philosophy Editors]].
  • Forward to sanger [at] citizendium.org (or whoever the moderator of citizendium-editors is) the e-mail address of the new editor and ask him/her to send a list subscription invitation to the new editor.
  • In the welcome message, it would be a good idea to include a link to the discipline editor category page (e.g., Category:Philosophy Editors) and perhaps a few other pages such as the workgroup home page (e.g., CZ:Biology Workgroup).
  • Finished applications are filed in the "Editors - Yes - Done" folder, not in the authors' folder.
