Archive:High priority articles for pilot

Come work on some encyclopedia articles with us.

The Citizendium project invites people to work on some of the very first edited versions of articles that will appear in the Citizendium. Express your interest below, or actually dive in!

Note to people working in discipline workgroups: if you transfer part of this list to a workgroup page, or if you tag all articles about a subject with [[Category:<topic> Workgroup (Top)]], then please remove the articles from this page. Why? Because we don't want to fork "high priority article" lists! Thanks. --Larry Sanger 17:03, 20 November 2006 (CST)
