This article might or might not need to credited to WP; Richard Jensen uploaded it and he has transferred gobs of material that he exclusively wrote. --Larry Sanger 09:33, 19 July 2007 (CDT)

Richard didn't upload it; I did and it has now been completely rewritten so there is no need to credit any wikipedia entry (which contains many subtle errors).

Catalogs

I just activated the catlogs subpage and moved some of the catalogs to subsubpages. They are all referenced under the catalog page and cross referenced to civil society through the subpages template at the top. Is this the way we want to go? Chris Day (talk) 08:38, 18 October 2007 (CDT)

In addition i have activated the debate guide tab. i noticed the civil society debate guide was not showing up in the tabs. It is there now. Chris Day (talk) 08:59, 18 October 2007 (CDT)

Generally speaking, I think many of what Roger has labelled "catalogs" are not really catalogs at all, but simply lists of topics with definitions. That is the format used for "Related Articles" pages...it depends, I suppose, on whether you intend to add other types of information. For a real catalog, see for example Tennis/Catalogs/Famous players. --Larry Sanger 09:23, 18 October 2007 (CDT)

At present they are not catalogs in the true sense. But you can see how they could develop and grow into good catalogs. I'm not sure what the long term plan is for these pages. Chris Day (talk) 09:57, 18 October 2007 (CDT)

Model for subpages

Roger this is shaping up very well as a model for using subpages. Your cluster is maximising the potential of the features available using the subpages tempalte, hopefully it can grow into citizendiums show case example. Chris Day (talk) 09:08, 18 October 2007 (CDT)

I agree, Chris. --Larry Sanger 09:23, 18 October 2007 (CDT)
