User talk:Larry Sanger/Suggestion Box
This is a special talk page. I've long been of the opinion that good ideas (along with the hard work to put them into effect) are the sine qua non of a successful project. Got an idea for CZ? Please add it to this page. I might say one of at least three things: (1) thanks, interesting, maybe we'll get to that some day; (2) this is something we could do anytime, but requires discussion; (3) I think it's a bad idea.
This is just for my personal use. This isn't a central community suggestion box: Constabulary suggestions are better sent to constables@citizendium.org or maybe the Chief Constable, Ruth Ifcher; and soon we'll have an Editorial Council which will be able to field editorial proposals. But--not that I want things to be this way, because as you may know, I frequently calling for leaders of various kinds--often the only way anything gets started around here is if I initiate it. So...

For down the road, an idea I had a while ago: http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,421.msg3264.html#msg3264 -Tom Kelly (Talk) 01:00, 18 April 2007 (CDT)
Right--it's an essential feature. It's possible we'll change our processes so that this can be done using the software in place now. --Larry Sanger 10:00, 19 April 2007 (CDT)
CZ and Google search: give it some thought...
I noticed this accidentaly, it caught my attention:
If you type "Keynes" into Google, Wikipedia will show up among the first two entries (in the first search page), but not CZ; CZ will not show even down to the 10th page (where I stopped loking for it; most people would have stopped much earlier).
But... if you type "Keynesian Revival", CZ is right on top at Google ( 1st and 2nd entries). The same applies for "Heterodox tradition" (2nd and 3rd entries). Yet the same for "Asimakopulos" (5ht and 6th entry - even ahead of McGill's, which is a quite old article).
So what ?
So, if CZ begins to use some names that are different from names already used by Wikipedia, it will flash in the first page at Google.
Give it some thought. Some "special" articles could have the name slightly changed from Wikipedia's norm. This way people will begin to see CZ at Google top search pages.
