Non-member Comments and Suggestions on Approvals Committee Members: for discussions, please use the forum. | ||||
What about review of CZ:Approval standards? If the/a purpose of the new approvals system is to encourage contributions by giving people something to aim at, that aim needs to be made as clear as possible. Peter Jackson (talk) 15:40, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, obviously *that* makes sense! Hayford Peirce (talk) 23:46, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
Names
In response to Hayford's question on the committee page, I've found CZ:Naming conventions, but it doesn't say much. Peter Jackson (talk) 10:37, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you, Peter. I remember now looking at this page years ago. It does have a lot of useful info, but, as you say, it doesn't really address the question that I raised on the committee page. Maybe we Editors should discuss it and then, possibly, come to a decision about it. Hayford Peirce (talk) 16:08, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
Removing articles from the calls list
See this edit. You can take articles off the calls-for-approval list by changing the approvals template. This produces a category of failures. If you look here you can see the different template options. John Stephenson (talk) 15:26, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
... and from citability
"I suggest we remove this article as a citable version" When the old approved page system was replaced with citability, we were told citable pages were supposed to be permanent. All you should be doing is adding some sort of template, not removing. Peter Jackson (talk) 10:30, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
- As a comparative newcomer, I don't think I've seen anything about "permanent". In the blurb about Citable Articles we are encouraged to carry on improving the Main Article so as to get a better version. I don't see any point in leaving disapproved citable versions, not even as a Dreadful Warning of what can go wrong. --Martin Wyatt (talk) 21:08, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
