It must get tiresome for Richard to be the only History editor at CZ. Take that into account, despite the great quality of some of the articles he has played a major role in or finished by himself, he cannot approve his own articles. Approved articles, to my knowledge, are what seperates CZ from Wikipedia - Articles that reached the approval of an expert and thus considered 'reliable' for personal information. I think there are at least ten history articles battering about that deserve approval, probably more. Are there any history editors still about, other than Richard? Anyone currently active who might meet the criteria?
Denis,
I'm not sure where you get your information, but for what it's worth: While you are right, we do need more editors in History, it isn't correct that no one but Richard is working that beat. I've been moving (a few) history articles to approval for some time now. For what its worth, I just nominated four of them yesterday and today: Agriculture, history; Great Society; Charles Beard; and Industrial Revolution.
