Now we have an Editorial Council, it is time to try and lead the project in writing more articles, and providing more comprehensive articles on a wide variety of topics.
What should be in Citizendium about...?
...a city?
There are so many things to write about in cities. These include:
- History of the city
- Transport - airports, train stations, metro/light rail, bus companies, trams, roads (London's Congestion Charge), cycling, ferries and connections
- Government - both national (Westminster or the White House), international (The Hague, the United Nations building) and local (City Hall (London)), as well as historical and ceremonial (Buckingham Palace)
- Different areas of the city - think San Francisco, California's Haight-Ashbury district, London's financial district (City of London), Greenwich Village in New York City, the Back Bay in Boston, Akihibara in Tokyo.
- Trade - Cities are filled with markets, in everything from fish (Tokyo Fish Market, Billingsgate Fish Market, Fulton Fish Market) to financial investments (London Stock Exchange, Wall Street) to consumer products (Oxford Street (London)) and luxuries (Knightsbridge)
- Literature and Artistic/Intellectual History - writers, artists, scientists, academics, poets, playwrights and the institutions that they worked in.
- Education - schools, universities, colleges and places of training for the professions (the Royal College of Surgeons? The historic Inns of Court)
