DISCLAIMER: NOTHING HERE IS ANY SORT OF OFFICIAL OR FINISHED DOCUMENT OF ANY KIND

Possible set of rubrics or criteria which might be suggested for Approval help:

• An Approved entry should be readable, engaging, and informative.

• An Approved entry should be free of any obvious grammatical errors (bearing in mind that we do not want to eliminate stylistic touches,

simply make sure the prose scans well).

• An Approved entry should be clearly formatted, with illustrations in places where needed, and at a size that enabled the text to be followed easily

• An Approved entry should offer, when appropriate, sources for further reading, and links to useful and reasonably reliable external information.

• An Approved article need not be absolutely complete or encompassing of every possible aspect of its subject. It should, however, be at least a 'step in the right direction,' giving the basic facts and able to stand independently. There will always be room for further refinement!

Approval help

The Approval process at Citizendium is deigned to identify, strengthen, and publicize our best and more thoroughly vetted entries. We want Approved articles to be both informative and engaging, and to showcase the range of Citizendium's authors' and editors' capabilities. Eventually, there will be hundreds and even thousands of Approved entries. Any entry that's clear, accurate, and readable, is a potential candidate, even if the topic is a modest one; it's aprocess, not a product, and Approval is only the first stage
