That's not exactly jargon specific to Citizendium. At pretty much any magazine, newspaper, or other publication, authors write articles, and editors edit them. That's plain English, not jargon.

On the other hand, "constables" is jargon (rather unfortunate jargon, IMHO) that they've coined themselves to replace "admins."

Personally, I wish them well. It would be a great thing if Citizendium actually succeeds in producing a better free encyclopedia than Wikipedia -- or even if it just achieves some partial success that merely illuminates ways Wikipedia itself can improve. Of course it will take years before Citizendium can hope to match, let alone surpass Wikipedia. Nevertheless, I look forward to the day when Wikipedia's great SunGodKing and paternal protector kneels in fealty before Larry Sanger and acknowledges Sanger's primacy as the one true, holy and encyclopedic GalacticDietySupremeCommander.
