Some workgroup help
A few words about workgroups
We are indeed happy to have you in the community. We would also like to introduce you to Citizendium's Workgroups and encourage you to--
- Join a workgroup if you haven't already
- Help us add workgroup category tags to articles, especially any articles you create
- Help us spread the word about workgroups within the CZ community
What are workgroups? To answer that question, I'd like to give you a quick tour.
- Start by checking the various workgroups we have at CZ: List of Workgroups. This link can also be found in the left navigation-bar in the 2nd box (Project Pages), 3rd link in that box (Workgroups). The Workgroup Home(s) can be found in the 2nd column in the List of Workgroups.
- For the purposes of this tour, please take a look at the Biology Workgroup Home: CZ:Biology_Workgroup.
- Now let's take a look at the first table on the Biology Workgroup Home (below).
Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata. |

- In the 2nd column, find the link that says, "all articles," which lists all articles that users have placed [[Category:Biology Workgroup]] at the bottom of their articles.
- Now click on the "recent changes" link underneath the "all articles" in the 2nd column in the top table. This lists all recent changes in articles that have been tagged [[Category:Biology Workgroup]]. In one glance, you can view all the changes that happened while you were away! Feel free to click on all the links to get an idea how the information for your workgroup is organized. All these lists are populated by articles that have the categories properly placed at the bottom of their pages.
This completes your virtual-tour of CZ workgroups. I hope you can see the usefulness of having all articles in Citizendium tagged properly with your Workgroup categories. Make sure to add the Workgroup category labels to your new articles. This is an important part of the Approval process.
Be sure to join a workgroup and take part in this opportunity to collaborate with others who have similar interests as you. You can see what others are working on in the Workgroup recent changes and join in! Remember, we want you to be bold in your contributions at Citizendium.
To add yourself to a workgroup, use the form [[Category:Education Authors|Smith, Bob]], etc., and add it to your user page. Substitute the proper work group for "Education" in the example, and your name-Last, First for the names in the example.
Do not add yourself to the Editors list, only CZ staff add "Editors" to user pages after proper review of applications is completed. To apply to become an editor, please see Editor Application Review Procedure.
To add a workgroup category tag to an article, use the form [[Category:Education Workgroup]] at the bottom of the article. Substitute in the proper workgroup for "Education" in the example.

Image problem
Hi. We appreciate very much your contributions to the Citizendium. I was hoping you could help clear up a matter about the images you recently uploaded. They are lacking clear copyright and source data and need to have it as soon as practicable to avoid deletion. To fix the problem, please review the images you uploaded (click on "my contributions" at the upper-right to re-trace your steps or see the links I added) in light of Images Help—Copyrights. If you need additional help, just ask a constable or leave a message on my talk page and I'll be more than glad to assist. — Stephen Ewen 20:14, 27 April 2007 (CDT)
Hellow
Another microbiologist-geneticist. Fabulous. Welcome to the wiki. David Tribe 19:32, 27 April 2007 (CDT)
Yup. I'm him. G M O Pundit hisself. Ill check out Your blog now. David Tribe 20:02, 27 April 2007 (CDT)
ooooh. Cooool. Evilutery biology and phages. Cut my teeth on Mu and P1 and upside down Y. Reading quite a bit about phage ( eg Villareal). Got student's writing stuff on cyanophage, and cre-lox as we type. Ill link to your blog from my teaching websites. Microbe Pundit and a Microbes Wiki! ( the second hidden within the entrails of a University server).
I basically wrote Horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes but it really needs more work. But it does have a pic of Joshua L. I teach a course in Microbial Cell biology too. looking forward to your activites David Tribe 20:09, 27 April 2007 (CDT)
- Are you THE phage in a test tube evolution guys? I glanced at one of those papers once. I heard Josh talk once in Madison Wisconsin. Agressively confident and lucid. Gotta go now David Tribe 20:27, 27 April 2007 (CDT)
- Couln't resist checking out your CZ phage page. I teach with Mike Dyall-Smith who's into phages of halobacteria, and has just come back from a meeting near Nice, where there was talk about phage therapy moving forward David Tribe 20:33, 27 April 2007 (CDT).
