This announcement is for the wiki hackers among us: the skin for Approved articles needs a facial.
What's needed? (All registered users should feel free to add to & edit this list)
- Approved articles need a look that tells the user that he or she is reading an approved article
- A conventional means of indicating important facts (such as: nominating editor, date approved, list of approving editors) is also needed
- A clear disclaimer
What's been said so far?
Here are threads on the forum that all deserve our attention (please add to these):
- Article Approval notice box size too large? http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,861.0.html
- Re: Proof versions of articles« Reply #32 on: April 19, 2007, 04:43:23 PM »[1]
- Should there be a Group Approval Template? [2]
Here are current pages on Citizendium that have to do with Approval templates:

Invitation to link sandbox trials here
(To make your own sandbox page, edit your user page and create a link to the sandbox page as if it already existed, like this: [[User:Nancy_Sculerati/Sandbox]]. After completing the edit, you'll see the red link; just click on the red link to start the new page. Any author can create a page anywhere in the same way. -- as per Pat Palmer)
Perhaps drafts of templates and styles for approved articles might be linked here?

Developing articles that need editors to nominate them for approval (or indicate what is needed before such nomination can be made):
Copying Jason's post from the Forums [3]: I have a favor to ask of the History Workgroup. The article First Punic War appears high on Google searches. It has been steadily climibing, currently 10 to 12 in rank on a search for first punic war. If this article can be pushed along to approved status, this would be good PR. -Jason Potkanski Tech Lead
