Hi there! Larry Sanger here. I'm the Editor-in-Chief of the Citizendium. If you have a question, I'll try to answer, but you might want to try the Forums first if I don't answer instantly. I'm happy to report that I'm extremely busy!
You can read more about me at my personal home page. I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Ohio State and a passion for Irish traditional music.
I do not claim any sort of editorship other than being Editor-in-Chief, I'm afraid, not even in philosophy or the Internet. I am too long out of doing any serious research.

Friday, March 22: launch impending. Working very hard. Spent the day on (among other things) Why the Citizendium Will (Probably) Succeed. Comments greatly desired!
I could use your help. If you want to help with all this categorization stuff, please look at CZ:Astronomy Workgroup. Notice "Checklist-generated categories." The templates used to generate those pages are:
- Template:Workgroup developed articles
- Template:Workgroup developing articles
- Template:Workgroup stub articles
- Template:Workgroup external articles
- Template:Workgroup internal articles
- Template:Workgroup advanced articles
- Template:Workgroup nonstub articles
- Template:Workgroup internal articles
- Template:Workgroup underlinked articles
- Template:Workgroup category check
- Template:Workgroup cleanup
- Template:Workgroup checklisted articles
In each case, to create a page, simply type (for example):
{{workgroup developing articles|group=Astronomy}}
The trouble is that we need to do that sort of thing for 11 category pages for all the rest of our workgroups.
Note, I changed CZ:Workgroups so that all rows now use Template:Workgroup, which is now more generic, and requires just a single parameter: the workgroup name. The template now fetches the supercategory and forum location information separately. That means we need to maintain that information separately as well. The locations are: Template:Supcats (assigns workgroups to supercategories); Template:Forum locations (assigns forum URLs to workgroups]]; and, least intuitively, Template:Workgroup names with underscores (which maps un-underscored workgroup names to underscored versions; e.g., takes "Visual Arts" and spits back "Visual_Arts"; necessary to make the links to recent changes not break). --Larry Sanger 15:40, 17 March 2007 (CDT)
