The resolution
Whereas, there is no credible online project that invites everyone to submit his or her single best encyclopedia article; and there is no credible online project that invites people to impart the message they regard as most important to the world;
Whereas, collaborative communities such as MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube have grown because people want an outlet express their personalities, and this leads to viral growth; and the aforementioned projects potentially have this viral feature;
Whereas, we lack a program that allows people to receive personal credit for article drafts that they have created by themselves, and that there is some demand for such a program;
Resolved, That the Citizendium adopts the initiatives as described on What's Your Article? and What's Your Message?
Note that these initiatives will be voted upon separately; there are in effective two resolutions here, 0006a and 0006b.
Method of execution
We will make a press release, announcing these initiatives along with Core Articles. We will also create a new mailbox, submissions@citizendium.org, and invite volunteers to monitor it and accept What's Your Article? submissions.
