Statement of problem
Existing policy regarding article approval does not take into consideration the not uncommon circumstance in which an Editor has predominantly authored an article to a stage ready for consideration of Approval but no other Editor is available to nominate it for Approve it, owing a dearth of truly active Editors in any of the article’s Workgroup categories.
The question: Until Citizendium grows to the stage when the mentioned dearth of Editors no longer exists, or no longer is of severity to present a serious problem finding appropriate Editors to nominate articles for approval, should Citizenium allow Editors with established track-records nominate for Approval the articles they predominantly authored, with following provisos:
- The Approvals Manager judges the Editor's responses to comments from authors-at-large to be satisfactory in terms of edits to the article and rebuttals to critiques.
- The Editorial Council concurs with the Approvals Manager's judgment.
