'''Welcome to the ''Citizendium!'''''  We hope you will contribute [[CZ:Be Bold|boldly]] and well.  Here are pointers for a [[CZ:Quick Start|quick start]].  You'll probably want to know [[CZ:The Author Role|how to get started as an author]].  Just look at [[CZ:Getting Started]] for other helpful "startup" links, and [[CZ:Home]] for the top menu of community pages.  Be sure to stay abreast of events via [https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list] (do join!) and [http://blog.citizendium.org the blog].  Please also join the [[CZ:Mailing lists|workgroup mailing list(s)]] that concern your particular interests.  You can test out [[CZ:How to edit an article|editing]] in the [[CZ:Sandbox|sandbox]] if you'd like.  If you need help to get going, the [http://forum.citizendium.org/ forums] is one option.  That's also where we discuss policy and proposals.  You can ask any [[:Category:CZ Constables|constable]] for help, too.  Me, for instance!  Just put a note on their "talk" page.  Again, welcome and have fun! [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 01:45, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

: Welcome to Citizendium! Feel free to drop me a line if you have any difficulties using the site and I will be more than happy to help. --[[User:Chris Key|Chris Key]] 16:30, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

== A historical welcome! ==

Are there subject areas where you especially need content at the history website? I'm a History and Military (and other things) Editor, with my historical interests in military, intelligence and special operations, and contemporary U.S. politics. There's a substantial amount of [[Wars of Vietnam]] and [[Vietnam War]] material here, for example, which I believe does a decent job of showing the complexity and the context, not just something unilaterally U.S. With other History Editors, we've been cleaning up and adding to things in the [[World War II, Pacific|Pacific War]] of WWII (help welcome). There's also a good deal on Afghanistan, Iraq, and transnational insurgency. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 05:01, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

== CZ: Ready for approval ==

In case you hadn't worked it out, the reason it didn't work is because you put <nowiki>*{{p1|Theory of multiple intelligences}}</nowiki>. You actually need to put <nowiki>*{{pl|Theory of multiple intelligences}}</nowiki> - note the lower case l instead of the number 1. --[[User:Chris Key|Chris Key]] 20:55, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

== Constitutional delegates ==

Hi Wally,

we are running into formatting problems with these pages. Can you give me a list with all the names (and possibly brief descriptions) of all (or some) of the remaining ones you intend to start? I can then walk you through the standard way of doing this, which should be less cumbersome. Thanks!
--[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 19:45, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
:Thanks for your help.  I'm created pages for all the members of the Constitutional Convention, so I can later work on an article entitled "Founding Fathers" and link to them.  Here are the others that I have yet to do:
James Wilson
Gouverneur Morris
John Rutledge
Charles Cotesworth Pinckney
Charles Pinckney
Pierce Butler
John Blair
James Madison Jr.
George Washington
George Mason
James McClur
Edmund J. Randolph*
George Wythe
I appreciate any guidance I can get as I'm new to this!

:OK, give me 5min, and I will set things up. --[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 19:57, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
::Here we go:
{{r|James Wilson}}
{{r|Gouverneur Morris}}
{{r|John Rutledge}}
{{r|Charles Cotesworth Pinckney}}
{{r|Charles Pinckney}}
{{r|Pierce Butler}}
{{r|John Blair}}
{{r|James Madison Jr.}}

::Please click on the "Add brief definition or description" link first (preferably such that the page opens in a new tab or window), fill in the brief description (formatting guidelines are at [[CZ:Definitions]]) and save the Definition subpage. You should then see the article page as a redlink. Click to open it and simply save. When you then return here to this page and reload it, the article name and the brief description of the corresponding person should appear in black here. If you have any problems on the way, just report them here. If you give me a simple list of those you already created, I can fix their formatting in the meantime. --[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 20:04, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
