Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start. You'll probably want to know how to get started as an author. Just look at Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events via Twitter. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any administrator for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun!

You can find some more information about our collaboration groups if you follow this link CZ:Workgroups.You can always ask me on my talk page or others about how to proceed or any other question you might have.

Have fun and Happy editing!

How to make a redirect

Hi Liz, to make a redirect as you asked, do this:

  1. Click on homeschooling
  2. Copy and paste in #REDIRECT [[Home education]] and click save

Done. Follow the same pattern to make other redirects. Happy contributing!

Thanks!
Anytime! Another pointer: whenever you write on talk pages, you should sign your comments with four tildes ~~~~ which will produce a signature like Stephen Ewen 00:41, 15 November 2007 (CST)

Welcome and thanks

I'm just spending some time this morning thanking the newer/returned people who did weekend wiki work. So, thanks, nice to have you here! --Larry Sanger 08:12, 19 November 2007 (CST)

Unschooling

Hi Elizabeth, I noticed that unschooling appears to be taken from Wikipedia--right? Please check that "Content is from Wikipedia?" box you'll find just above the "Save page" button... --Larry Sanger 19:30, 1 May 2008 (CDT)

Sorry, I wasn't sure whether or not to check it, since I was just replicating changes which I had personally made to Wikipedia. Elizabeth Lawver 02:49, 2 May 2008 (CDT)

Well, if it is 100% completely your work, with not a drop of content from anyone else, you don't have to give WP credit. But if anyone else did contribute any content that is here on CZ, we must credit them. You should probably put {{wpauthor}} atop the talk page, too. Generally, see CZ:WP2CZ, that might help.

Ah, I see, are you saying that if anything at all in the article as a whole (not just your edit) was contributed by someone else, it needs to be tagged? Elizabeth Lawver 01:47, 6 May 2008 (CDT)

Thanks for coming back! And, some day I might want to pick your brain about home schooling; we're going to do that with our little boy. --Larry Sanger 13:32, 2 May 2008 (CDT)

Hopefully this summer I'm going to have a bit more time to contribute. I think it's an admirable project and I've noticed that no other editors seem to be interested in topics related to education. And I'd be happy to help you with any questions you might have about homeschooling! Elizabeth Lawver 01:47, 6 May 2008 (CDT)
