The Citizendium is like a lively bazaar, with authors and expert editors doing vigorous trade in words. Editors do not give top-down orders; they offer the occasional word of direction or advice, and can approve articles in their areas of expertise. Constables, who are barely needed in our very friendly community, ensure everything runs smoothly. These are all volunteers, contributing their time, energy, and profesional expertise in support of a shared vision. |
