"Wikipedia amateurs face backlash from the experts" <http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/media/artic le2407123.ece> http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/media/articl e2407123.ece All, It's been awhile since we had press coverage--mercifully, because when it hits, I tend to be completely co-opted and I can't get any work done. Well, the London Times has, rather out of the blue, done an article about the Citizendium. It's a nice one! But really: are we merely a backlash? We are a forward lash. Anyway, a version of the article will appear in the print version as well. The article is apparently based on some old information, but I was given the chance to update them. The e-mail comment you see in the article was sent in just a few hours ago! As this was appearing, I was interviewed by the Washington Post for an article in their weekend magazine. I think the article is about Wikipedia, but we should get a mention anyway. Also, Sept. 15--one year since I first announced the idea for the Citizendium--is fast approaching. Chances are, we will just have to do a press release, and sooner rather than later. So I'll be preparing a general update sometime soon. I am preparing one anyway--partly for a grant application, partly for two different major foundations that contacted me, following up on previous conversations. Please do what you can to help whip the website into shape for a lot of public interest in the next few weeks! I've been focusing especially on this (and the templates and categorizing policy pages): http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Home We sure could use the help of a MediaWiki techie who has good design sense. I.e., not a philosopher. :-) --Larry
