Topic informant

Thanks for the cleanup work on the Galileo article. But one thing confuses me: the Topic Informant workgroup seems to apply to living people (or, I'd presume, the more or less recently deceased). Is there a reason for applying it to Galileo? I'm a newbie here myself and not eager to make waves; just trying to figure it all out. Daniel Drake 03:17, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Daniel, David, the Topic Informant Workgroup is to be placed only on living or recently deceased people, and some other articles--obviously not historical figures. Please do not add Category:Topic Informant Workgroup to any more articles until you have reviewed the relevant rules. --Larry Sanger 11:31, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

CZ Live

Please review the editing history of Gao_Yaojie on Wikipedia [1]. You will see that there has been significant collaborative editing. This is with respect to your removal of the article from CZ Live. You will see from the dates that while I created the article originally on Wikipedia; I simultaneously published the article on Citizendium, incorporating editing from Wikipedia.

Status = 4?

Why is Lightning status = 1? Why not 4? --Larry Sanger 18:44, 14 May 2007 (CDT)

Use of {{speedydelete}}

Hi David. Thanks for perusing CZ articles as you are doing. You might wish to have a look at CZ:Article_Deletion_Policy and place the {{speedydelete}} template as appropriate. Thanks! ---Stephen Ewen 21:20, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
