Dear $1,
Dear $1,
Thanks for your editor application, which I am pleased and honored to accept.


We're delighted to welcome you to the Citizendium encyclopedia project as an editor.  Thanks for your interest, and we hope you'll enjoy adding your expertise and other interests to the world's knowledge alongside our many other contributors.
I have made you an editor in the workgroup(s) listed on your user page (link below).  As an editor, you have the authority to approve articles and to settle content disputes in your areas of expertiseBut you may also, as many editors do, serve as an author, and contribute articles of your own.  I hope you will.  Regardless of your role, however, you should be aware that no one will be assigning you work: this is a "bottom-up" Web 2.0 project, and it thrives precisely because people work on what they want, when they want.  Many people find this liberating.  I hope you will follow our injunction--which I originally made for Wikipedia--to "be bold"!  That advice, at least, applies on the Citizendium too.

Dear $1,

Thanks for your editor application, which I am pleased and honored to accept.

I have made you an editor in the workgroup(s) listed on your user page (link below). As an editor, you have the authority to approve articles and to settle content disputes in your areas of expertise. But you may also, as many editors do, serve as an author, and contribute articles of your own. I hope you will. Regardless of your role, however, you should be aware that no one will be assigning you work: this is a "bottom-up" Web 2.0 project, and it thrives precisely because people work on what they want, when they want. Many people find this liberating. I hope you will follow our injunction--which I originally made for Wikipedia--to "be bold"! That advice, at least, applies on the Citizendium too.
