Daniel, this is all that I have access to as a constable. I had to piece it together from the Mediawiki special pages. It does not have anything about the text boxes themselves. I assume that someone else has that kind of access or information. If you know where I should be looking, I'd be glad to take another look.

Join us! It's quick and easy! All are welcome. Make sure that you first read the Citizendium Statement of Fundamental Policies and the differences between Citizendium authors and editors before requesting your account, since you'll be signing up as one or the other (although editors are also authors). Note: most people are authors, and there are no special requirements for authors. You might also wish to review our privacy policy; in short, we are responsible volunteers and we won't abuse your private information and email address. Authors (i.e., most people): after submitting this form, a constable will review your information and likely reply within 24 hours (often much less). When your account is set up, you'll receive an e-mail to enable you to log in at Special:Userlogin. Editor applicants: fill out this form and include two further items: a CV or resume attached (or linked), as well as some links to Web material that tends to support the claims made in the CV, such as conference proceedings, or a departmental home page. Both of these additional requirements may be fulfilled by a CV that is hosted on an official work Web page. If you lack a current CV, lists of publications or other such documents that establish your expertise may be suitable. When your editorship is approved, you'll receive an e-mail to enable you to log in at Special:Userlogin. If you're not approved as an editor, you might still be approved as an author. If there is any problem submitting your account request, email the Constabulary at constables@citizendium.org. Be sure to check your spam folder if you don't get a mail confirming your e-mail address!

About your user account: * If you have a non-free email address that bears your name, please use it; e.g., university or work address. (You can change it to your personal email address later). * Your email address will be sent a confirmation message once this request is submitted. You must respond by clicking on the confirmation link provided by the the email. Also, your password will be emailed to you when your account is created, along with login information.

Each entry below corresponds to a workgroup project where people with such interest can coordinate their efforts. You don't have to click anything here, unless you're an editor applicant. Click on the question mark next to each topic to view the corresponding workgroup. *Authors (i.e., most people): select the topic areas in which you are likely to do significant work *Editor applicants: please select only the topic area(s) in which you have expertise you can substantiate (you'll still be able to author in any area, though!)

  • About your full name: The name on your driver's license or other identification card. First name (given name) and last name (family name). Use normal capitalization, punctuation, and spaces, e.g., John A. Doe. You may use middle names and initials if you wish. No pseudonyms: if you want to apply for a pseudonym, do not use this form. Instead, send your information to personnel@citizendium.org, addressed to the Chief Constable, explaining the reasons for your request. We grant pseudonyms only for very rare and exceptional reasons.
  • About biographies: Authors are required to provide only a statement about their personal interests and education, preferably a few hundred words, and not fewer than 50. Rough clues as to age and location might be helpful to other users but are optional. Please note: your biography must demonstrate that you possess high proficiency in English.
  • Are you under 18? Particularly if you are under 16, do not include any personal identifying information about yourself, such as your age, exactly where you live (a state or province might be OK), or what school you attend. But you should still give some general information about your interests and education level. You must be at least 13 years old to participate.
  • For further guidelines, please see User Pages.

Biography for your public user page (minimal wikimarkup, if any, avoid HTML; in English):

BeenVerified™ option: through special arrangement with the Citizendium, you can choose to have your identity verified through BeenVerifiedat no cost. This is completely optional, but may be useful if you have no other way to establish your identity. To begin the three-minute process, click here. Once you are done, just add the link to your BeenVerified™ profile to "List of websites" below. It remains private and is not added to your userpage.

These are additional, private notes, and will not appear on your user page. Important!! For authors and editors, these notes help constables confirm your identity. It's much better if you use a non-free (work or school) e-mail address above. You can change the address on file later. If you use a free e-mail address (e.g., gmail or yahoo), you must include some other information that helps us to confirm your identity. This could include a link to your (optional) BeenVerified™ page; credible webpages listing your (free) e-mail address, names of persons that we can look up online to aid in confirming your identity, current members you know, etc. You could even scan and upload a copy of an ID card (but we might still need to connect your ID to your e-mail address). You can also use this space to say anything, privately, to the constable who reviews your account request. For editors, also, please upload or link to a CV. An Editorial Personnel Administrator will review your submitted materials in view of your editorship application.

List of websites that help confirm your identity (one per line, please):

Signature. Checking this box commits you to three statements: (1) "I agree with, or endorse, the Citizendium Statement of Fundamental Policies"; (2) "The name I have specified under 'Your full name' is in fact my own real name; and (3) "I am at least 13 years old."
