Hi Noel, i noticed in the forum your were wondering how the hell the metadata page work and what can/is it supposed to do. I see you have already taken a bite at improving the [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=CZ%3AUsing_the_Subpages_template&diff=100276532&oldid=100257423 instructions and information], which is great. FYI, the development of the subpages template was very organic and ad hoc. The consequence is that the documentation and the template itself are a mess and need to be streamlined. You, as someone who had to try and figure it out from scratch, can appreciate this is a bad thing. I'd say feel free to jump right in and edit an inconsistencies you notice. It is a long overdue thing on my to do list. Thanks for any help or suggestions in advance.

Welcome!
Welcome, new editor! We're very glad you've joined us. Please read The Editor Role. You can look at Getting Started for other helpful introductory pages. It is essential for you as an editor to join the Citizendium-Editors (broadcast) mailing list in order to stay abreast of editor-related issues, as well as the mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. It is also important, for project-wide matters, to join the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list. 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 thank you! We appreciate your willingness to share your expertise, and we hope to see your edits on Recent changes soon.

Priority claim?
Welcome (back), Noel. "I actually wrote the very first Citizendium article, in October, 2006: Hokusai!" I think the first CZ articles appeared on the Textop wiki; did your article appear there? I'm also skeptical of any such claim if you can't prove it. :-) --Larry Sanger 15:23, 25 February 2008 (CST)
Hey, I looked at the article. I think I remember this. You could well be right! --Larry Sanger 15:28, 25 February 2008 (CST)
