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.
Kind Regards,

redirect
Just for your future reference, you can redirect pages by placing #REDIRECT [[pagename]] on the page. In other words, on the Kiev article it just needed the text
#REDIRECT [[Kyiv]]

- Also, you should be careful about making stubs that are so small, they are subject to deletion. See here for the policy http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Policy_Outline#Stubs --Todd Coles 15:51, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
Much thanks for the help and advice -- I will be working on the oblast (province) descriptions in a bit, and will beef them up. Geography first, then history, then economics, then culture -- that is the plan for Ukraine. (In my copious spare time of course...) Again, much thanks for the guidance. --Bo Shmorhay 16-Aug-2007 14:00 PST
Red links
I notice on a recent edit you removed the red links form the geography section of the Ukraine article. Although red links are in some peoples eyes ugly, they are an important part of the wiki. They tell people that there is a page that needs to be writen. Also, when the page is writen, the link is set up automatically without people having to come back an relink the pages again. So you can leave red links in or add red links where you think there should be an article. I don't think we should remove a link just because it is red. Derek Harkness 05:35, 17 August 2007 (CDT)
