Welcome Page


Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. You'll probably want to know how to get started as an author. Just look at CZ:Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events via the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list (do join!) and the blog. Please also join the workgroup mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forums is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any constable for help, too. Me, for instance! Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! Larry Sanger 07:43, 10 October 2007 (CDT)

You should be aware that no one will be assigning you work: this is a "bottom-up" Web 2.0 project, and it thrives precisely because people work on what they want, when they want. Many people find this liberating. We hope you will follow our injunction to "be bold"!

Once you have logged in, look for a link to your new user page up in the upper right of the screen (your name will be linked).

Much background about your role as author can be found here: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:The_Author_Role

And to get started generally, we recommend: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Getting_Started

Please also, soon, subscribe to Citizendium-L, a low-volume, high-relevance broadcast mailing list for all "Citizens." Simply add your e-mail address on this page: https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l

Again, we're very pleased to have you on board. Could you regale us sometime soon with a few articles, even short ones just to get us started, about one or two of your favorite topics?

Regards, Citizendium Staff
