Critical review

From the "Articles" article:

<<Articles must first be added to the section titled Submitted for Critical Review. Following peer review using the Talk Page, the article will be moved to the Published section by the CreationWiki administrators.>>

Is this saying that all articles have to pass critical review before being "published"? Or is this just meant to refer to particular articles, such as ones that are not allowed to be edited by others?

If the former, it goes against the whole idea of Wiki, and is totally impractical anyway. For example, an article gets written, submitted, accepted, published, then can be edited to the point that it is vastly different to the "accepted" version.

It would also work against articles being built up gradually.

It's not for all articles, just ones as you say - that can't be edited. We are also considering a separate rule for the copyright of articles - all contributed material must be GPL'd, but articles up for peer review we might consider a separate license so the author retains control but can still get peer review. So, more the sort that present new ideas/arguments that are in need of peer review. User:Msaward

That's good, but in that case the instruction needs to be reworded to indicate this. Philip J. Rayment 00:52, 28 Oct 2004 (GMT)

Where is the "Submitted for Critical Review" section ? It has disappeared ? Ray Martinez

Fixed. A bunch of stuff got deleted by a spammer/vandal, so we need to look in history to find the full article. Some of these are marked as Ashcraft having removed portions - this was a work of the bot, not Ashcraft - so feel free to fix as you find them. User:Msaward 01:33, 7 Oct 2005 (GMT)

I appreciate your quick reply: BUT where is the "Submitted for Critical Review" section the "Articles" page claims to exist ?

How do we enter a article now ?

Please forgive my ignorance if it is apparent. I am currently in the middle of writing an earth shattering article and I am "scared" so to speak as the page I was creating it on no longer exists.
