From the first time I noticed what a citizen can do I became interested in becoming one. I like TWC very much, and I want to contribute to the site even more. Becoming a citizen will allow me to do that. To gain participation in the curia and the symposium is very important to me. There are two questions in the FAQ:
Do you want to get involved in running this site?
Do you want to have your say on how we do things here?
Well I have one answer for them: Yes.

WHY I WOULD MAKE A GOOD CITIZEN

I am a responsible person and I also like TWC. That means I will participate a lot and everyday in matters concerning the site, and of course I will participate in the curia and in the symposium.

MY CONTRIBUTIONS

I've made some serious contributions, and frequently take part in debates and discussions in all parts of the site. I'm active on religion and politics, on the arts, and of course, history. I try to be thoughtful and make use of my education, but also to debate the thoughts and great philosophies of others. I'm a very active Librarian, and I both write and help to find articles both for the Scriptorium and for the wider forum to help both myself and others improve our learning and understanding.

Some examples of the above

I wish to nominate jimkatalonos for the rank of Citizen.
The last 7 months or so, Jim has steadily been progressing on TWC, he's a regular participant in debates, ghe's made some good posts, and consistantly contributes in several areas of the site. He's now a Librarian and proving to be quite a good one, and on top of that, he has a desire a contribute and do more. What he's done so far is more than enough to make him a citizen, as i hope his own paragraph shows, and i believe making him a citizen will simply give him greater scope and greater opportunity to contribute more to a community he has definately become a part of.

I would say that English is not his first language, though oft times you would not notice, and as such he's not that comfortable with making the long eloquent posts you might find some of our greater debators making. I'm sure you will not, of course, hold that against him.
