• Registered participants shall be called "Citizens."

• I agree with this ("Joe's revision from above section") D. Matt Innis 16:47, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

That was totally off the top of my head, so I'm not wedded to it if there is a better way to word it. I was thinking maybe: 'Registered contributors shall be called "Citizens".'

• I would agree to either formulation, but I'm also open to other suggestions. -Joe Quick 17:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Maybe even: "Registered users shall be called "Citizens" -Joe Quick 17:24, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

What's the point of the qualifier "Registered?" Will we have participants who are not registered? Try this: Jones 20:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Collaborators in the Citizendium shall be called "Citizens."

I have no problem with that and remain open. D. Matt Innis 20:50, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Ooh, I like "collaborators". I inserted "registered" to draw a clear distinction between people who actually join the project and those who partner with us or use our work or whatever; Howard had mentioned something about making such a distinction. If the requirement to be eligible to vote in community referenda and elections is to be a Citizen, it should be very clear where the line is between Citizen and non-Citizen. -Joe Quick 00:15, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I see, as in "registered users", duh. I like "collaborators" too, but since so much of our content ends up on WP "collaborators" would mean them too. I'll revert to Joe's formulation. Russell D. Jones 15:26, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Registered users shall be called "Citizens"

Agree. --Russell D. Jones 15:26, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
