  • The Citizendium shall welcome contributions to all fields of knowledge.

Per Joe's suggestion; change 'to' to 'in':

  • The Citizendium shall welcome contributions in all fields of knowledge.

    • I remain concerned that this is an open invitation to fringe and advocacy material. Suggest:

"The Citizendium shall welcome contributions in all fields of knowledge, subject to Editorial Council review for objectivity and reliability." There's probably a better word than "reliability".

Advocacy is covered by Article 16. Subjects from the fringe should be allowed if they are presented "comprehensively, neutrally, and objectively" as per Article 12. Agree to "The Citizendium shall welcome contributions in all fields of knowledge." from Matt above. --Joe Quick 01:26, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
I can live with this, although I don't like it. This does remind me, however, that Article 12 should use something other than "neutrally" so we don't fall again into the trap of the neutrality policy. Howard C. Berkowitz 02:05, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
