User talk:H. Stephen Straight

Welcome!

Welcome, new editor! We're very glad you've joined us. Here are pointers for a quick start. Also, when you get a chance, 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. David E.

potential articles for approval

Hi Dr. Straight,
I'm glad to see that we have someone else on board who has an interest in Latin American Studies. I'm currently finishing up my MA in Latin American Studies at the University of Chicago and plan to continue my studies at Vanderbilt in anthropology.

I've written a couple of pretty well-developed articles here over the last couple of years that you might like to have a look at. In particular, you might want to check out Milpa agriculture, Tecum Umam, El Tío, and maybe Ethnonym. If you think any of those articles are up to the standards of our approval process, it would be great if you could initiate that process. In any case, I would really appreciate some feedback on those articles if you find a few minutes.

Thanks much,
