The '''Editorial Review Board''' (ERB) is Centiare's official sanctioning body that determines whether, and which, ''Main space'' articles are to be protected and attributed to their respective contributing author(s).
The '''Editorial Review Board''' or ('''ERB''') is [[Directory:Centiare|Centiare's]] official sanctioning body that determines whether, and which, '''[[Centiare:Main Space|Main Space]]''' articles are to be protected and attributed to their respective contributing author(s). The ERB currently consists of the two co-developers of Centiare, plus one additional member who serves as a tie-breaking vote, if necessary. These three members will serve until the end of 2007, after which they hope to be replaced by more credentialed professional editors and/or scholars.
==Nomination process==
The purpose of the ERB is to reward the work of patient, thoughtful contributors who understand the importance and value of adding high-quality, [[Neutral point-of-view]] (NPOV) content to Centiare, but who wish to see the fruit of their work go undisturbed by other editors.
The Editorial Review Board will look for and expect three important criteria to be filled by nominated pages:
# The topic shall be about an entity, action, event, or process that '''does ''not'' have standing in a court of law'''.
# The article shall include multiple relevant, accurate '''reference citations''' to noteworthy publications.
# Any personal conflict of interest or bias of the author shall be deprecated in favor of a '''neutral point-of-view'''.
'''Main Space''' articles meeting these criteria may be nominated by their primary author(s) to the ERB on this project's [[Centiare_talk:Editorial Review Board|Discussion page]]. Every weekend, the Board will consider each active nomination and either approve the article as a "winner", return it for additional improvements, or reject it.
==Benefits for winners==
The articles determined by the ERB to warrant recognition will incorporate a [[Relation:Has Contributor|semantic tag]] or [[Relation:Has ERB Winner|semantic tag to be determined]] to record and relate the works to the pertinent author(s). We hope that this will bring the author(s) the added fame of being contacted by reporters, bloggers, scholars, and other interested parties who wish to learn more about the subject. To monetize their research efforts, the author(s) of winning ERB articles are also welcome to use Amazon Affiliate links to identify their reference sources (accepted policy throughout Centiare '''Main Space''', and to position no more than two (2) Google AdSense ads at the close of their article.
The table below lists the winning articles and authors recognized to date by the ERB:

==Certification of winners==
A winning article approved by the ERB will be appended with the following comment:
::'''ARTICLE TITLE''' was selected by Centiare's ''[[Centiare:Editorial Review Board|Editorial Review Board]]'' as the directory's representative article about the subject. The article is therefore protected, copyright held by the author(s), publishing rights granted to Centiare, and '''not''' available under the terms of the [[Centiare:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License|GFDL]].
This comment should not be used in unauthorized form anywhere else in Centiare.
