Ferrata Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 =][= Changes to the Lexicanium Program =][= The B&C Librarium Staff has come under increasing strain as the Librarium grows and the rate of submissions increase. Previously, Lexicanii have been chosen on their work in the Librarium over a certain period of time. Now, we have chosen a more proactive recruiting policy. You may now apply to become a Lexicanium. What does a Lexicanium do, exactly? Lexicaniums will have several keys tasks:Be able to write high quality articles for the Librarium Be able to edit & format submissions to meet Librarium standards Be able to assess threads across the board to determine which should become articles Be able to help Frater with their submission ideas Be able to participate in and lead Librarium Discussions forum threads that form the basis of community created articles/projects Be able to learn how to use the extra BBCodes used by Librarium articles (e.g. Tables, Captions etc.) To make a long story short, they will be the backbone of the Librarium program, helping to turn the B&C from a simple forum into The Ultimate Space Marine Resource Site . Lexicanium Responsibilities - Lexicaniums will be held to the same standard of conduct that Mods are - that is they must seek to embody the rules and the ethos of the B&C.- In order to remain in the program Lexicaniums need to continue to participate in the Librarium community, providing the enthusiasm, guidance, good example and literary skills that got them selected in the first place. - Lexicaniums will be expected to aid the Codiciers with specific community projects when reasonably requested.Lexicanium Privileges - Access to their own private forum - As with the Mods there will be a private forum for the Codiciers which will be used to co-ordinate their activities and also as a place for them to voice their concerns or make suggestions to the Codiciers- A voice in larger B&C projects - the Lexicanium will be consulted with regard to board wide projects, for example they'll be able to contribute suggestions and ideas to Arenas of Death or to help decide the subject of the next PC&A contest- Lexicaniums will have the ability to create, edit, publish, remove and otherwise manage articles in the B&C Librarium.Notes: Please note the following important information about the Lexicanium program- As ever all Frater are eligible to promotion to Moderator/Codicier status, including Lexicaniums. However being a Lexicanium brings with it no hint, let alone a guarantee, of future promotion or rewards.Conditions However, there are conditions. For your application to be considered, the following must be done-You must complete the practice test, found HERE. You must have done an Article for the Librarium (if you haven't, you should submit one. Ideas can be found below.) You must agree to the terms of your participation rate, which is 3 articles per a month, for a 3 month period. Anyone accepted under these conditions is on a 3 month probation period. If you fail to meet the requirements of your participation rate, you will not continue to be a part of the program. We are not looking for those that wish to attempt to advance through the ranks but merely people who want to help in the Librarium. If you want to give something back to this board, apply to become a Lexicanium today.The Librarium Staff and Admins have the right to refuse any application.For those people that haven't done an article and are wondering what they can do, here's a few ideas. Perhaps a painting tutorial, along the lines of this. If you can't paint (it's not a prerequisite, otherwise Sig wouldn't have got in;) ) and are a fluff-buff, perhaps another in the series of Heroes of the Astartes, much along the lines of this entry. If nothing else, take a look at the Lacos Informatio where the small articles that are awaiting expansion live.If you have any questions or concerns about this, feel free to PM Sigismund Himself or SCC.

Pulse Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Nice double hit of info there in one post, hehe.

Hubernator Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hmmm... well this takes the biscuit. I did think about this... breifly. Had second thoughts now... ah well.

Sigismund Himself Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Please PM any applications to either myself or SCC. The expected rate of participation from any potential applicant is 3 articles per a month, for 3 months. So an article every 10 days. It may sound a bit imposing but many articles merely require a quick check through for spelling and chucking some coding in, so it is a little easier than it sounds :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153827-the-librarium-is-changing/#findComment-1794445 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigismund Himself Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 And we welcome to the position of Lexicanium, Ferrus Manus. The first applicant and the first one in.

spectre312 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I would volunteer for this, but my being that I'm deploying january 1st and i don't know what my internet access will be like I wouldn't be able to promise the 3 articles ;). maybe when I get back from the sandbox.

Sigismund Himself Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 We would also like to welcome Darth Potato to the Lexicanium program :D Funny how all the Liberites are coming into the Librarium. Unfortunately, Stratokhan has had to resign his position as Codicier due to RL issues. The remainder of the Librarium Staff would like to publicly thank him for his exceptional contribution to and service for the Librarium. We wish him all the best.

Grey Hunter Ydalir Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I'd love to, but don't have an article. Yet. It seems we're going to end up with half the Liber as Lexicanii! It's time for the old to move up, and the new to come in and take up the positions vacant. Or something. Don't quote me, for the love of the Emperor don't quote me. It would end badly for all involved. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153827-the-librarium-is-changing/#findComment-2040753 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubernator Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I've yet to get an article up, probs will by the summer. Appyling for Lexicanii... maybe. Don't think I'm experienced enough.

Apothete Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'd love to, but don't have an article. Yet. Finding material for an article isn't necessarily the arduous task that some people seem to think that it is. My very first Librarium submission was accepted because it filled in the gap in describing Astartes fleets, which was a point that Tyrak and I found ourselves repeating several times over only a couple of weeks. It's time for the old to move up, and the new to come in and take up the positions vacant. Or something. Don't quote me, for the love of the Emperor don't quote me. It would end badly for all involved. Quoted. For what it's worth, I'm both old and new. How does that change my application?

Grand Master Tyrak Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 For what it's worth, I'm both old and new. How does that change my application? I don't think it does. I've certainly not seen any age qualifications (unless you plan on buying us drinks :D ) in my application.

Sigismund Himself Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 For what it's worth, I'm both old and new. How does that change my application? Age doesn't matter at all. Board experience only matters a little bit. If you know which forums are which, where the Librarium is and can do coding, that's the only real extent required. Apart from that, all you need is enthusiasm and a will to help out.

Apothete Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I don't think it does. I've certainly not seen any age qualifications (unless you plan on buying us drinks :o ) in my application. I can only think of three or four people from the board I absolutely wouldn't want to meet in person, so I guess I very well might buy you a drink if we ever end up at the same event as one another. I've apparently looked old enough to do so since I was sixteen. Age doesn't matter at all. Board experience only matters a little bit. If you know which forums are which, where the Librarium is and can do coding, that's the only real extent required. Apart from that, all you need is enthusiasm and a will to help out. Ha. I guess I need to overcome my loathing of using emoticons, since that brief little snippet at the end there was meant as a joke.

Reyner Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Very tempted by this... All I needs to do is make my IA good (Been tinkering with it for a couple of months now but haven't reposted it).

Sigismund Himself Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 A little late perhaps, but we're happy to announce that Apothete has taken up the mantle of Lexicanium. Expect to see him around the Liber helping out with various IA (as if he wasn't already doing enough of it).

Apothete Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I can't possibly imagine why anyone would expect to see me around the Liber Astartes, and most especially not when it comes to providing commentary on Chapters! Why, the very idea... Thanks for the announcement, Sig.
