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.

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.

==''WHICH'' version gets approved?==
{{Image|Pompeii's forum.jpg|right|250px|The forum at [[Pompeii]], with [[Mount Vesuvius|Mt. Vesuvius]] in the background.}}
 
|}
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 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]]
 
:: I have been involved in a few approvals both as editor and sysop activating the approved version, and actually pioneered (and wrote) the slightly challenging draft approval (Version 1.1 etc.) process. All this is obvious to editors who have been through extensive editing and approval of big articles like Biology and Life.
 
:::The decision about '''which version''' is approve comes up time after time. It seems always to be complicated by a rush of last minute changes, and most frustratingly, while we are attempting to complete last minute copy edits, there will be a late arrival of a controversial edit of substance which by older rules, would freeze further copy editing because it is slow to be reverted in the approved copy (eg see long debate about proofs in the forums, recent talk in Life, older talk in Biology etc).  The very recent entry of Dr Sculerati as an editing role hopefully will solve these trivial but annoying challenges.
 
:::My considered advice, in blunt terms is:
 
::::Intellectuals should ''shut up'' for a few days till the approval V 1.1 goes through, ''then'' let fire with all cartridges with a pistol fully loaded. Deep philosphical debates at the wrong time are slowing down the printing presses and confusing the workers!.
 
(Tongue in cheek emoticon goes here (''-) 
 
====But which version?====
 
The path I have trodden as nominating editor is to continually update the URL pointer in the template To approve Tag to the latest version containing good copy, and annotate, with each pointer update, the approval area with comments like
 
* URL pointer updated [[User:David Tribe|David Tribe]] 16:47, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
 
so that the sysop (constable) actioning the approval has a clear indication of which version has full  editorial support. This is assuming that ALL the edits contained in the pointer are typographical correction to a just previously  duly nominated approved version. Again, last minute proposals to change text in a substantial way derail the judgement process by the "disinterested" constable.
 
In the last two Math approvals, even after the deadline, there were debates that required mathematical and other judgments. I took the view that I was unqualified as a sysop to judge the validity of them ( I understood what they were, and thought the Taylor series link was probably OK and a trivial decision but it's 40 years since I studied Taylor series) and that the articles had been through a thorough approval period, and that in any case if the issues turned out in the judgment of the Math editors out to be crucial, Math editors could push for Version 1.1 within about 24 hours if need be.
 
Revision of a Approved article to Version 1.1 or 1.2 should be no big deal. Version 1.1 should be an efficient phase for  identifying overlooked glitches on approved versions, and my advice is to avoid redrafts and major change till even version 1.2 is on the board.
 
My attitude is based on the conviction we need to notch up many more approved articles, and that the degree of error in articles that have reached this (Version 1) stage is trivial compared to the great swathe of mediocre stuff we still have sitting there. As we say repeatedly, ''we have bigger fish to fry.''
 
In fact we should have a "Bigger fish to fry", or just a fish image , template to make the point
[[User:David Tribe|David Tribe]] 16:47, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
 
:David, this all seems very sensible.  Maybe we should standardize this, such that the nominating editor (in the 1-editor model) would be authorized to update the pointer so long as she or he felt the changes were improvements which did not require re-examination or raise concerns (anyone who disagreed with this could certainly say so on the comment page, and the constable could grant an extra 24 hours if requested, but "there being no objections" then that updated pointered version would become the approved one.  I'm thinking right now of [[Literature]], the first entry I've been involved in approving, and my involvement in this case is limited by the fact that I'm its principal author, so all I can do is pace about in the "waiting room"  as it were! [[User:Russell Potter|Russell Potter]] 16:59, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
 
::: I have been updating the pointer fully knowing it wasn't explicitly approved in the rules (but wasn't explicitly forbidden). It would be really unproductive to penalise an editor for doing this. It is called using editorial judgment. It seems obvious that it doesnt need speling out. But what is obvously sensible to some, is opaque to others. Once as a sysop I corrected a trivial but glaring visual flaw in an approved article and it was said afterward that this action was illegal. It took about a week for this to be redone legally by someone else, because it was rather mechanically complex, involving draft versions. I prevented one week of uglyness in an approved article and I am unrepentant about fixing an image presentation that looked atrocious with huge photos obscuring the text, if I recall correctly. But it did convince me that those with direct experience at the coal face have to speak up when formal procedures are not perfectly tuned. The key step is to modify the rules by due process so they work better.[[User:David Tribe|David Tribe]] 17:22, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
 
::::Russell has a unique problem in that he is only an author and his editor has gone missing.  Technically he can't do anything and the article is about to be approved without his changes.  Right now the rules would have constables approving the tagged version unless the editor comes back and changes the pointer.  Is that right? --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 19:26, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
 
:::::Nancy, after looking at the changes that Russell has made [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Literature&diff=100098706&oldid=100095887], I think they are copy edits.  You, as Approval editor, should be able to allow me to approve the article and then you would naturally incorporate his changes.  So, instead, I see nothing that should keep me from approving it all on May 10th, right? --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 19:33, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
 
I think the Editorial Council is the place to get the mechanics of implementation standardized. [[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]] 17:30, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
 
:: Thanks for that comment Dr Sculerati. It happens I'm on the Editorial Council, and I should try and proress it there. [[User:David Tribe|David Tribe]] 17:43, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
 
His editor is a well respected author who is working on a project- she is not really missing. She -like many experts- is not so familiar with the wiki, and does not regularly spend time on it. Although in no way am I willing to influence her, I am extremely likely to be able to have her read the version that is considered the best one for her to read on the day of approval. Since I myself am rather lame at the wiki- it would be best if you could put up an approval nomination template- an honest one that does not have her name on it -that points to the version to be examined, make it obvious so there will be no mistake. It will be up to her to indicate which version she approves. I am confident that she will approve one, because she already liked the first one that she looked at and her criticisms were really minor. But we will stick to the letter of the law to the best of our ability to interpret it. Hopefully, should Citizendium continue to grow, someday we will have enough of a quantity of editors for each field that things will be easier. Until then, I am willing to make the effort to facilitate. [[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]] 19:36, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
:Nancy, did you see that these are the changes that we are talking about. [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Literature&diff=100098706&oldid=100095887].  What do you think? I think they are copy edits. --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 20:15, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
::: Matt has found an illustration of the point I am trying to make. The edits  are not authorship but routine copyediting, and in those cases the URL should be updated by the editor supervising the nomination. In her absence, Dr Schulerati should,(as she is) in my opinion, be empowered to incorporate them into the approved version. That an approving editor in that work group is currently not on tap all the time, of course, is quite routine. It shouldn't hold up the implementation of a fair copy of what has been approved. We should add to the approval guidelines an explanation of this . I routine incorporated similar correction to the several articles I was managing. Explicit mentioning of what constitutes copyediting in the rules is needed. If there is a good faith  error by, say Dr Schulerati, in calling these copyedits, it can be challenged by other editors and corrected in Version 1.1.[[User:David Tribe|David Tribe]] 20:37, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
::::I agree that our current rules allow for the above using Nancy as the Approval Editor.  I also agree that any new rule should allow that anytime there is a question of content, the change can be removed on request of any of the approving editors. However, lets remove this from this page and bring it to the [[CZ:Approval Process]] page, then make a resolution for the Editorial Council. --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 20:57, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

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?
