Wanted to add this to a current Citizendium article but the Ben Franklin article is approved

I wanted to add this a Citizendium article about Ben Franklin, but discovered the article had been approved. I could not edit the article and add this information.Mary Ash 03:42, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Mary... The article Benjamin Franklin was approved for a reason - an article is approved when is so well developed that it gives the Citizendium reader a good introduction and overview to its topic.. You can find the criterea for approval here if you didn't know.

The article on Ben Franklin was approved by two Editors (not Authors) from the history and politics workgroups.

Right at the top of the Ben Franklin page, for those who do not yet understand how approval works, is a big notice that says Help improve this article further on the draft page!, and that means that if you want to add information to the article about Ben Franklin you must add it to the draft article about Ben Franklin and an Editor (not an author) will decide if it should appear in the approved article.

What you shouldn't do is start a new article about a very specific piece of information that belongs in the article about Ben Franklin (or turkeys), simply because you are not allowed to edit Ben Franklin. You are not allowed to edit Ben Franklin for a reason - you aren't an Editor, and that article is approved already. You are supposed to work on the draft page.

Mary, please consider working in your sandbox and asking an Editor or Constable before moving the articles to main space

A comment here was deleted by The Constabulary on grounds of making complaints about fellow Citizens. If you have a complaint about the behavior of another Citizen, e-mail constables@citizendium.org. It is contrary to Citizendium policy to air your complaints on the wiki. See also CZ:Professionalism. David Finn 07:01, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Since I have received a warning I will submit the guidelines given to all Citizendium authors. In every case I followed Citizendium guidelines including the creation of a new article. I also submitted the article for editor review and appropriate placement of said article. Mary Ash 19:29, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Voting ends Midnight October 21 (UTC)! CZ:The Author Role From Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium

Jump to: navigation, search What's the big picture? [edit] As an author, you are the lifeblood of the Citizendium. You collaboratively write encyclopedia articles and help supplement them with things like bibliographies and image galleries (see CZ:Subpages for the full list of supplements). You also benefit from the "gentle expert oversight" of Citizendium editors--real-life bona-fide experts in their field--who can certify articles you help write as meeting certain approval standards befitting of quality and accurate encyclopedia articles. If you become one of our particularly active authors (and we hope you do), you will soon discover that you are part of a vibrant online community where you discuss with others the best way to craft article content, debate project policies and development, and sometimes even joke around. What is more, you can do all this with a mission in mind: to help create an encyclopedia of unrivaled quality that is free to the world (see Why Citizendium?). Okay, I get the big picture. How do I get started? [edit] It's really easy, trust us. Begin articles! Do you know a topic enough to provide at least a starting point to an encyclopedia article about it? Then start a new article! No one assigns work to authors. It is your own interests that should guide your authoring. Still, if you'd like some ideas, you can look over the lists of topics at our Core Articles Initiative (click along the gray tabs atop the blue box up top) or our User-Requested Articles. Add to articles You can join in where others have already been at work. Part of the power of Citizendium is that we collaborate globally and produce more and much better articles that way. If you get stuck, just ask these friendly folks for help. I think I'm ready to get started. Is there anything else I should know first? [edit] There are several things Get involved with workgroups See Workgroups in the left-hand column, under "project pages"? (You might have to scroll up.) Click on that. You can add yourself as an author to any workgroup. If you do, please join the group's mailing list. Then you can look at the recent changes, look over the offerings so far, and--maybe most importantly--expand our content about basic topics, i.e., the most famous people, the most important events, the most fundamental concepts, etc. Monitor project-wide recent changes From any page at all, look to the left, under "project pages," for the "Recent changes" link. You might need to scroll up to see it. Click that and explore the links you see. That will give you an idea of what has been going on on the wiki lately. Note that you can opt to view up to 500 changes at a time. This can be great fun: you can help others out and talk about what you're doing, either on the article's talk page or on the person's "user talk" page. (Go to the person's user page and then hit the "discussion" tab.) Look into our latest initiatives We often have some community-wide initiatives going on, that you can join. Please do! How does collaboration work? [edit] A robust wiki is not just collaborative, it's strongly collaborative. Articles are unsigned, so new contributors don't feel they're stepping on the toes of the previous author(s). (You can still see who has worked on an article, however, in the page history: click the "history" tab.) Authors can and do take pride in their own work, but individual articles are unowned--or they are owned and managed by the whole community. Neither an author who has contributed the bulk of an article's content, nor an editor who has responsibility for content decisions, can claim that an article is exclusively his or hers. Instead, we all take responsibility, and mostly we negotiate (on talk pages) to a mutually acceptable compromise. This system is, on reflection, astonishing. Recently, for the first time in history, global groups of people, working in "real time," have been creating content without any single person being solely responsible for it. Moreover, this content is free forever--so, if it's good enough, people will be inspired to improve it indefinitely. This is an opportunity to create vast amounts of content that represents the full spectrum of human understanding, in a way both credible and neutral. And free! Why not just write for Wikipedia? [edit] As a prospective author, you probably have some questions. A major one is simple: why not write for Wikipedia instead? We don't wish to be disrespectful to "that other community," but there are some very good reasons: We have virtually no vandalism. Several people, independently, have said that we're "Wikipedia for grown-ups." That's because we require real names, at least a brief (and accurate) bio, and the contributor's agreement to follow our Statement of Fundamental Policies. We have a healthy, reasonable respect for expert knowledge. We make mistakes, of course they're easy to find in early drafts, which many of our articles are but you will find relatively few attempts to pass off guesswork and idiosyncratic opinion as expert knowledge. A lesser-known reason is that the Citizendium stands for readability and narrative coherence. If you're interested in writing articles that people want to read all the way through, this is the place to do it. But, you ask, what are our prospects? They are fairly good. In our wiki's first nine months, we created about as many words as Wikipedia did in its first nine, and our wiki is about as active as Wikipedia was after that amount of time (as Citizendium Editor-in-Chief and Wikipedia co-founder, Larry Sanger, recalls). We have added nearly 3,000 articles and some five million words after about ten months (the first five being a private pilot project). And we're expanding into other kinds of reference content in ways Wikipedia has not tried. In short, we have the better model, and arguably, we are on track to replicate Wikipedia-style growth. As in Wikipedia's case, it will no doubt take some years before our metrics are very impressive. But we're on our way. And we're in it for the long haul! See also [edit]

Voting ends Midnight October 21 (UTC)! CZ:The Editor Role From Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium

Jump to: navigation, search Not your usual editorship [edit] Your role as Citizendium editor may not be what you expect. This is a wiki, first of all. For that reason, it is very different from most publishing projects you might have been involved with. It is run almost exclusively by volunteers, articles aren't signed, and everyone works side-by-side. Maybe most importantly, everyone may improve any article at will: there is no central authority assigning work. This may sound like anarchy, but it isn't. Your presence as an editor is one reason that it isn't--it's a living, breathing online polity, which can be more or less civilized. We hope you'll become an active part of this polity, because it's also an extremely powerful publishing model. Considering this, editorship in the Citizendium differs greatly from traditional editorship. You neither assign work, nor is work assigned specifically to you. Rather, your role is one of gentle oversight--village elders wandering the bazaar. (See Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and the Bazaar.") What editors do [edit] Editors are responsible for Citizendium content, not participant management (which constables handle). Editors can have a wide variety of special responsibilities too, but essentially, they guide the crafting of articles and they approve articles. Editors may also be involved in governance roles, if they wish. Editors are also authors, so many write articles both inside and outside of their area(s) of formal expertise. Guiding articles [edit] Editors are expected to guide articles, to ensure that they are accurate, representative of different views, balanced in their representation of those views, and sufficiently comprehensive as to be valuable encyclopedia articles. An editor who is a specialist on a given topic may thus make certain decisions about, and plan the articles on, that topic. Editors may list an article plan and guidance on particular issues at the top of an article's talk page, and should be willing to discuss article questions on the Talk page. The best method of keeping authors enthusiastic is to explain any editorial decisions clearly and very politely, to be (reasonably) responsive to questions from authors, and to be always encouraging and constructive in advice and guidance. Obviously, editors must share this responsibility with other editors; but if there is anyone who is a genuine specialist on the topic, then, within reason, the other editors typically defer to that editor on issues relevant to that particular expertise. Authors, too, defer to editors responsible for an article to which they contribute on such issues. But this does not mean, of course, that the editor may flout Citizendium guidelines within impunity, or that we support "local dictatorship"; we don't. Any author who feels that an editor is acting unreasonably (and any editor who believes that an author is being unreasonable) may refer the dispute to the Citizendium processes of dispute resolution. An editor should only exert "authority" rarely. If an editor is also acting as an author on a particular article, then he or she should take particular care to exert authority only on issues where his or her professional expertise is clearly relevant. Many issues about articles are not relevant to an editor's specialist expertise. Some (e.g. citation styles, naming conventions etc.) may be determined by the workgroup policy. Others (including issues of presentation, writing style, level, and tone) should be settled if possible by discussion between the collaborating authors and editors as equals. Approving articles [edit] Editors can also approve articles. This is a crucial step. The actual act of approval involves identifying a particular version of the article from the page history--often, the most recent one--and nominating that version for approval on a certain date. As editor, you can do this single-handedly for articles in your workgroup(s), if you have not made any significant contribution to the article yourself. If you have contributed, however, then the article can only be approved either by a group of three editors including yourself, or else by another (uninvolved) editor entirely. For instructions, see Approval Process. Your first time through, do ask for help--there are many people eager to help new editors with new approvals. We are pioneering the combination of open, collaborative content development with expert approval. We think that the work we have done so far demonstrates the strength of this model, and well illustrates why your involvement in this process is worth your while. Governance roles [edit] Editors may participate in two different sorts of governance bodies: Workgroups and the Editorial Council. Workgroups, when active, will set some policy and settle some content disputes with regard to articles in their care. The Editorial Council is broadly responsible for content policy. How to get involved [edit] The main question on a new editor's mind is probably: "OK, but what exactly do I do?" In more concrete terms, here's how to get involved as a Citizendium editor. Get started [edit] 1. REGISTER. First, of course, you need to sign up. Once you have an editor account, however, you might not hear back from anybody if you do nothing. So you need to take the next steps. 2. SIGN UP FOR MAILING LISTS. If you don't sign up for mailing lists, you'll essentially be "out of the loop." Citizendium mailing lists are generally low-volume announcement lists. They aren't usually filled with a lot of talk. We tend to do our discussion on the Forums instead. (Look in there from time to time, too.) Citizendium-L- for community-wide announcements (not discussion), averages less than one post per day Citizendium-Editors - it is essential that editors join; for editor-directed announcements only, very low traffic Workgroup mailing lists - again, it is essential that editors join the mailing list in their discipline(s). For example, if you are an editor in the Philosophy Workgroup, then join cz-philosophy. If you want help yourself, or you want to offer it, that's the list where to get it. (Another place is an article's talk page.) Stay plugged in [edit] Your general task as editor is to help improve Citizendium articles. But in particular: Respond to workgroup review requests. Anyone can request that workgroup editors review an article by posting to the workgroup mailing list. Review requests are not assigned to any particular editor; instead, anyone who is available goes to the page and offers his or her changes and comments. Similarly, authors (and other editors) may announce that they are trying to push an article toward approval. Please do respond to such announcements! Look through articles in your area. Look on Workgroups. Find your workgroup and then, to the right of the workgroup name, click "All articles." That will give you an idea of how many articles and of what sort we have in your area. Please help improve any of those articles. Hunt for approvable articles in your area. Look again on Workgroups. Find your workgroup and click "Workgroup Home." On the page that appears, notice, near the top, the links titled "Checklist-generated categories." Click on the first link after that, "Developed." This will give you a list of all the articles that someone--rightly or wrongly--has picked out as "developed." That's beyond the "stub" and "developing" stages. Those are articles that should be close to approval. (If not, then the "status" should not be "1"--simply tell someone on a talk page, if you don't know what this means.) Monitor recent changes in your area. Again, look on Workgroups. Find your workgroup and then, under the rightmost column, click "Recent changes." That should give you an idea of what--if anything--has been happening in your area. But note, if you're in an area that hasn't had so much activity, please don't give up. We're a new project; and other people will join and help you if you take the initiative. We've been graced with a number of such intrepid editorial pioneers in various fields. Monitor project-wide recent changes. From any page at all, look to the left, under "project pages," for the "Recent changes" link. You might need to scroll up to see it. Click that and explore the links you see. That will give you an idea of what has been going on on the wiki lately. Note that you can opt to view up to 500 changes at a time. This can be great fun: you can help others out and talk about what you're doing, either on the article's talk page or on the person's "user talk" page. (Go to the person's user page and then hit the "discussion" tab.) Drum up support. You can sometimes get people interested in what you're doing by using our usual channels (such as workgroup mailing lists). But in some cases, there just aren't enough people interested simply because we haven't found enough active editors. Please do feel free invite your colleagues to participate; if you are on a mailing list, feel free to introduce the Citizendium to the subscribers (as long as your mail will be regarded as a call for participation and not as spam). For help, see Mailing List Outreach, and bear in mind that Larry is willing to help you with this. Otherwise--be patient. We're expanding our roster daily and will probably have a full house before too long. Write! Our most active editors also write quite a few articles, too. Writing is hard but rewarding, and we need your leadership here. In writing, you act as an author. If you must make a decision, however, you essentially should declare--with our patented CZ "gentleness"--that you are acting in your capacity as an editor. For guidelines on good articles, see Approval Standards and Article Mechanics. Have fun! [edit]

An article is not a mere summary or list of information, but a connected piece of prose, meant to be read all the way through. Articles must be selective in the information they present, but need not be brief; they should say what they need to as clearly as possible, in a concise and interesting way. Opening section The opening section should always be introductory, so the heading "Introduction" is unnecessary. The first paragraph usually begins with a definition of the topic, and we bold the title of the article in the first sentence, e.g.: "Philosophy is an abstract, intellectual discourse..." The first paragraph should contain a concise and neutral answer to "Why is this topic important (or interesting)?" If the topic is a person, say what the person is best known for; if an event, summarize its impact; if a place, describe things that make it notable. The rest of the opening section should give the background needed for understanding the rest of the article. The opening section can be a ‘’summary’’ of the article, but this may not be the best use of the space. A brief outline of the article structure is preferable to a summary when the article is very long. The article body Generally, articles need a plan that lends coherence and flow and invites readers to keep reading. A task of editors is to help plan articles, and, for complex articles, the plan may be discussed on the Talk page. Generally, major achievements of individuals should be presented before minor ones; the basic tenets of a theory before derivative ones; and earlier events before later ones. Section titles Section headings help both readers and authors, but too many can be ugly and distracting. A well-organized narrative is this "Biology" article. Standardized information If there is to be an article about every species of snake, it is convenient to have a standard structure. When beginning an article, authors should check articles on closely related themes to see if a standard structure has already been established by others. Citizendium workgroups will ultimately settle on any such standard practices. Citations See Help:Citation style for details. We expect citations in about the same quantity as in academic encyclopedias. Citations are not usually needed for information that is common knowledge among experts. But the following categories of claims generally do need citation: direct quotations claims with unique sources (such as survey results, or the finding of a particular paper) implausible-sounding but well-established claims claims central to the article Always give an online link for any reference, at least to the abstract (via, for example, a PubMed reference.) Rather than use several references in a single sentence it is better to include several sources in one citation. Definition See CZ:Definitions for details. Eventually, every page should have a subpage/Definition that only contains a short sentence explaining the topic of the page: Maximum one sentence (no more than 30 words/150 characters, ignoring formatting characters). Don't include the term defined in the definition itself. Start the text with a capital letter and end with a period. (Use a semicolon, if necessary, in between, but no period.) This definition is mainly used on the /Related Pages subpage where

• Number [r]: One of the fundamental concepts of mathematics, used for such purposes as counting, ordering, and measuring. ^[e] and
• No number [r]: Add brief definition or description

produce Number [r]: One of the fundamental concepts of mathematics, used for such purposes as counting, ordering, and measuring. [e] and No number [r]: Add brief definition or description If there is a main page, but no /Metadata page (e.g., if the page is a redirect), the template shows the link in boldface. A special case of this is a lemma article, which is an article that has a main page containing only the The {{subpages}} template is designed to be used within article clusters and their related pages.

template. In this case, the /Definition is transcluded to the page: Foo lemma [r]: This example of a lemma has only a definition page and an article page with the subpages template. The article transcludes the text from the definition page. The link to the article, when using the R template is shown in black to indicate it has no more content that the definition which can already be seen. [e] A definition that is intended for a lemma article may be longer than a "normal" definition. Lemma articles may have Related Articles, Bibliography and External Links subpages, which must not have the The {{subpages}} template is designed to be used within article clusters and their related pages.

template. At any time, a lemma article may be converted to a regular article; at that point, part of a long definition usually will move to the main page. Metadata See CZ:Article structure#Metadata for details. Organizational and technical information related to a page is stored on a special template page Template:ArticleName/Metadata: Title, title for alphabetization, workgroups, status, approval data, etc. It also contains the workgroup categories. (Please note that categories are only used for administrative purposes.) It is best created - as prompted - when a new page is created with at least the title filled in and can be accessed from the article talk page. Subpages Factual material, where there is no real narrative flow, may be best presented in subpages. See CZ:Subpages for details. The standard subpages will always include: Related articles subpage This connects each article with related articles and offers greater insight into the underlying conceptual structure of the encyclopedia. Related Articles subpages generally are organized into a few Parent Topics, which are more general topics within which the current article is located; Subtopics, which are aspects of the main topic worth separate discussion; and Related Topics are "close tangents" which take the discussion off in new directions. The article on World War I includes Parent Topics on War and Nationalism, Subtopics include famous battles such as Gallipoli and the Somme, and Related Articles include Trench warfare and Mustard gas. Bibliography subpage See CZ:Bibliography for more detailed coverage. This is an annotated bibliography: books, articles, editions and other material that, in the opinion of Citizendium authors are important and useful, clarifying why an item is listed ("one of the most commonly used texts in this field"; "the paper which originally defined the concept"). For example, historical topics should list and annotate the leading sources for information on a topic, and articles about authors should have a list of major works. If an item is available online, the annotation should indicate where and provide the link. (Here are the citation templates.) Long complicated articles can have a long bibliography page. They may also have a "Suggested reading" section at the end of the main article that presents 5-10 publications suitable for beginners, especially if they are on the web. How to write annotations is discussed by the Library of Congress publication Creating an Annotation. External links subpage See CZ:External Links for more detailed coverage. External links should be neutrally annotated. Links to external websites should not be placed within articles but in footnotes. Link words and phrases to Citizendium articles rather than external sources of information about the word or phrase--even if we still lack an article on the subject. We have rules against self-promotion (policy on topic informants), and contributors should not link to websites that they manage, unless it is evident from a Google search (or other adequate proof) that the website is a leading and reliable source of information. Optional subpages See list of optional subpages for more detailed coverage. A large number of additional subpages may be included with an article. The current list of subpages includes Works, Discography, Filmography, Catalogs, Timelines, Gallery (Images), Audio and Video pages, Computer Code, Tutorials, Student-level discussions, Signed Article, Function, Addendum, Debate Guide, Advanced and Recipes. In addition to these subpages there are also some article-specific subpages (for certain topics) which are not yet fully acknowledged. Please note Categories are used for administrative purposes (workgroups, etc.) only. Lists of topics are compiled on appropriate /Catalogs subpages. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and usage Strunk and White's Elements of Style is useful; the first edition is available here. For American English, please consult The Chicago Manual of Style for matters of formatting, punctuation, etc. and Garner's Dictionary of American English Usage for issues of usage. For British English, consult Fowler's Modern English Usage. For usage of SI ("metric") units see the Physics Today guide for metric practice. For physics oriented articles consult chapters III and IV of The American Physical Society Style Guide. (Pdf). Miscellaneous style guidelines Craft articles for maximum readability. Many topics may be impossible for a non-specialist fully to understand, but if a difficult or advanced piece of text can be written to make it more accessible to nonspecialists, then it should be. Professionals are often accused of writing jargon that is decipherable only by people in their fields; our task is to "translate" the jargon into elegant prose. Lists of topics Main articles should not be a list of topics (even if annotated). The appropriate place for such material is either the Related Articles subpage or a Catalogs subpage of an appropriate article. Moreover, such lists are not collected using categories. (Categories are only used for administrative purposes.) Write lively prose, not "encyclopedese" Writing an encyclopedia brings out a tendency in some writers to make prose dull--perhaps the influence of boring encyclopedia articles we read as children. But we can, and should, give our prose personality. Many writers today have taken William Strunk's pithy injunction, "Omit needless words," to heart. Tightening up flabby verbiage is one of the most needful improvements we can make, but we must not denature our prose entirely: we want our writing to be readable, not encyclopedese. Another common stylistic rule would have us use simple Anglo-Saxon words rather than hifalutin, impressive-sounding words, but this does not mean that we should prefer a merely adequate word to a really apt word just because the apt word is a bit more obscure. Choose the familiar word rather than the obscure word, but the precise word rather than the loose word. Link copiously, but relevantly One strength of a wiki-based encyclopedia is the ease with which articles can link to other articles. Links permit serendipitous discoveries, which is one of the great attractions of reference works, so Citizendium encourages copious interlinking. But it is possible to take this advice to an absurd extreme--linking so many words that many inappropriate links are created, that distract rather than help. Remember that two consecutive links (of the same color) will run together as if they were one; it may be better to reword so the links are separated by a non-link word. A general rule is: If our target audience would find that the linked article illuminates the present article, then we should link to it. It is important to add links to articles that do not yet exist -these help us see what articles are most needed: see Wanted Pages (linked on the left under toolbox > Special pages). Link only the first use of a word or phrase, not every use--unless the word is particularly relevant to the point. Thus, the article about Abraham Lincoln might mention (and link to) the Emancipation Proclamation in its opening section, and also in the section about the Proclamation itself. Quotations In general, avoid quotations longer than one sentence, and do not use many quotations in any one article. Quotations should not be used to “make an argument”; an argument is made by logic and reason, not by authority, and if a quote is used to support an argument by showing that important people agree with the point, then this is a misuse. However if notable people are identified with a particular argument, then it would be reasonable to quote them directly. For example, Richard Dawkins is a vocal proponent of Darwinism—it should not be presented as an argument for Darwinism that its proponents include Richard Dawkins, but as he has contributed extensively to the debate, and writes in a pithy and accessible way, to quote him would be a reasonable way of illustrating a section that describes his arguments. Valid uses of quotes include (in biographical sections) to illustrate a person’s views; (in literature articles) to exemplify an author’s style; and (in many articles) to add colour and interest to an article. Be aware that, in some articles, using quotes can introduce a bias. Choose them with care, and consider redressing any bias by annotations, or by balancing quotes from other viewpoints. Conversions There is now one central conversion template, {{{1}}} {{{2}}} ( {{{3}}}). This template should be used to make conversions between two units of measurement. To use it, write it out as you would speak the conversion. For example "Convert 10 inches to centimetres" would be written "10 in (25.4 cm)" and would display as 10 in (25.4 cm). Directions, and a full list of supported units are here. More powerful features for individual conversions are found on individual templates. Each has additional parameters that determine such things as abbreviation, spelling, ranges, two dimensional, three dimensional, and whether or not to wiki-link the units of measurement. An example would be At least one numeric parameter is required!. These should only be used if {{{1}}} {{{2}}} ( {{{3}}}) does not support the feature you need. A full list can be found at Category:Conversion templates For further reading Sage advice on writing CZ articles. This is a policy summary. The complete document is here.
