Citizens, The monthly Write-a-Thon is in two days--or a little over 24 hours "Down Under"! Given the heightened activity we've been seeing on the wiki recently, I expect this Write-a-Thon to be very lively!
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Monthly_Write-a-Thon In case you are new to CZ, the "Write-a-Thon" is our monthly special big get-together, where you can be sure to see lots of activity on the wiki. You can let people know what you've done on the wiki that day on the (above) Write-a-Thon page, ask for help, feedback, and collaboration, and so forth. It's just a little fun. Also, there is a monthly libation, which will remain virtual until replicators are invented and hooked up replicators to our computers. The "party theme" this time is Core Articles...so, please make AT LEAST ONE EDIT to a Core Article list http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Core_Articles in your main area of interest, or, if the list is complete, at least one edit to a Core Article. Bonus points for starting a new article! If you don't do this, you are Rotten to the Core!!! :-P Here is some random advice for this Write-a-Thon and always: remember that CZ is a collaborative project. While we should respect others' work, of course, no one owns any particular article, and virtually all of our articles can be improved. One way that most articles are badly in need of improvement, by the way, is in number of internal links, i.e., [[these links]] to other CZ articles; link copiously, but (of course) always relevantly. In other news, the new Editorial Council is about to get started, with many brand new members and a new Chair: Supten Sarbadhikari. Also, we are approaching 6,000 articles! --Larry My education petition received 51 signatures (so far) http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/liberate-educational-content _______________________________________________ Citizendium-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l
