CZ:Philosophy Workgroup

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.

The Philosophy Workgroup will organize and coordinate efforts to create and improve articles relating to Philosophy. If you are interested in participating, you may add yourself to Category:Philosophy Authors, discuss issues on the Philosophy Workgroup Forum, or simply dive in and begin contributing. If you'd like to be an editor, please follow these instructions and then you may add yourself to Category:Philosophy Editors.

Welcome!

January 10

Welcome, philosophers!

We've recently posted a call for participation to PHILOS-L and PHILOSOP and are happy to see all the new arrivals.

Some notes:

• Philosophy could use some work. I started rewriting it but it's not anywhere near finished, and I would be happy to have lots of help. Many other articles need work, too. Dive in!

• Many of the articles you see linked under "All Articles" and "Top Articles" above are not "CZ Live," i.e., they're inactive. You are strongly encouraged to scrap these and start over, or else to improve them radically (they need it). If you don't see the "Category:CZ Live" tag on an article, you can assume that no one here cares about it. (These articles were uploaded from Wikipedia, somebody then tagged them or made some very minor change, so they were not deleted in January's mass deletion of Wikipedia-sourced content. No one would care if you wanted to delete all the articles that have not been worked on here on CZ!)

• In short, be bold.  :-)

• Hey, you professional philosophers showing up: please send a CV and a Web link tending to show your bona fides to personnel@citizendium.org and ask to be made an editor. Details here at the bottom of the page. Someone will respond within a few days.

• It so happens that we are looking for a lead editor for philosophy, tentatively to be called "Chief Area Editor," to help push things forward on several fronts in the Philosophy Workgroup.

• Just to be clear: speaking for myself, while I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy, I do not claim to be lead editor, or an editor at all, of the Philosophy Workgroup. That's just because I'm so far away from doing anything like serious research in philosophy.

Thanks again for joining us and I hope to see your work on "Recent changes" soon!
