Citizendium wow gold Blog Constables

Our launch, which happened about a month ago, was a tremendous success. Our editor pool buy wow weapons has grown from 180 to 228 (and, as usual I afraid, a long backlog waiting to get in). Actually, the number of articles we created is higher than that, because while doing the Big Cleanup, we have removed many Live tags from articles that were mistagged.

Speaking of that, the Big Cleanup continues apace. Whereas we had checklisted 721 articles on April 4, we now have 1400. That well over half of all the article pages on the wiki. More detail, albeit a week old, can be found in this very useful stats post from mathematicianAleksander Stos.

I can assure you that, after only five months, that excellent work. After five months, the average level of quality of articles on Wikipedia was far below this. We even doing respectably compared to where Wikipedia was at this time in terms of sheer numbers of articles despite our first four months being a private pilot project, requiring sign-up, and requiring the use of real names. Also, I suspect we have more sheer content than Wikipedia did at the time, but actually confirming this suspicion would take a lot of work.

We want to cut the response time to editor applications. So we are getting more Editorial Personnel Administrators started, including Richard buy wow weapons Jensen, a retired history professor who has done a lot of work on the wiki lately (I recommend the Abraham Lincoln article he started); Gareth Leng, U. of Edinburgh physiologist; Nancy Sculerati, NYU medical school professor; and Anthony Sebastian, UCSF medical school professor. That in addition to Bernard Haisch, astrophysicist, and me. This is currently very science-heavy, I know we remedy as we go along.

Yesterday, we finally started the Editorial Councilwith 39 buy wow weapons members. On the mailing list, which is members-only but which has open archives, we just been introducing ourselves; we actually start business next week.

After a post calling for applications from people to fill self-designed leadership positions, we had a number of submissions, most of which are still under review. Nancy Sculerati will be joining us in an additional editorial role, such as article approval director, but the details have yet to be settled. Sorin Matei, Purdue U. Communications Dept. This one is low-hanging fruit so it likely we take him up on his offer. Sorin has also proposed some more technical projects, including one that involves geocoding wiki data. There are others people and proposals, as well, but the Executive Committee, like myself, has been extremely busy. We get replies out sooner or later.

Another sort of project: there is an entrepreneur who is very interested in supporting the work of CZ tech lead, Jason Potkanski, and I on a partnered Citizendium project that wow gold would make a significant new enhancement to MediaWiki and which would use Citizendium as the test bed for this enhancement. Any such enhancements, of course, will be open to community discussion; the great thing is that basically he wants us to give him the software requirements. This is a win-win, since Jason and I need the support, CZ will be greatly improved by this software (it a feature I wanted for a long time), and the entrepreneur wants to market the servicing of the (free/GPL) software. Details anon, pending a signed agreement.

The Executive Committee and other governing bodies are now named on a new Personnel page. There you will notice three new additions: Stephen Ewen, one of our many hard-working constables, has agreed to act as Assistant to the Chief Constable, relieving some of Ruth Ifcher workload; Kelly Patterson has joined us as Fundraising Assistant; and Louise Valmoria has been busy setting up mailing lists for individual workgroups.

Speaking of mailing lists, Louise has created many lists and is putting finishing touches on them. wow items The existence of the Editorial Council may help here, too. Another proposal would have us simply link to approved versions in page histories and forego a page altogether. Yet another proposal would have us make more prominent use of the category of Developed articles (now linked from the front page).

These are, however, just proposals at this stage. It pretty likely that we make some such changes. As I said, I committed to our finally adopting an approval process that allows and inspires people to approve large numbers of articles. Consider our current stock of 12 very fine approved articles evidence merely of our first baby steps in working out what the process should be. Now that there aren any vandals left (although we did have a visit a few weeks ago from a vandal who had made an account during the self-registration period), there no reason not to let everyone move pages themselves. Note that we haven even protected the main page of the wiki.
