Message from Nancy Sculerati
I copied below a post that our head tech, Jason Potkanski, made on the Forums. What's the Forums, you wonder Lance? Well, look over to the left at the side bar under the heading "communication". The First bullet is Forums- it's a hyper link. If you click you'll go there. To get back here, just hit the back arrow on your browser. Here's the post:
I have a favor to ask of the History Workgroup. The article First Punic War (http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/First_Punic_War) appears high on Google searches. It has been steadily climibing, currently 10 to 12 in rank on a search for first punic war. If this article can be pushed along to approved status, this would be good PR.

Now. I am also going to copy two form messages below that are usually given to new authors and editors.
Tasks: start a new article • add basic, wanted or requested articles • add definitions • add metadata • edit new pages
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!
