'''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!

==[[Pompeii]]==
Thanks for correcting the Pompeii article. I'm hoping to add a few more paragraphs, would you be interested in proofreading it once I'm done? [[User:Richard Nevell|Richard Nevell]] 20:20, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 
:That's much appreciated. I sometimes find I read what I meant to write rather than what's actually there. I'll let you know when it's in a fit state (more or less). [[User:Richard Nevell|Richard Nevell]] 17:58, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 
Hi Martin, the Pompeii article's expanded a bit and is now up for approval. I've gone through myself to iron out any glaring mistakes, and I'd really appreciate another pair of eyes if you've got time. Thanks, [[User:Richard Nevell|Richard Nevell]] 22:23, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 
== December 2012 elections ==
 
Would you be interested in being an author member of the Editorial Council? You can say no, of course, but so far we've only two nominees for the council, and they're both editors.-[[User:Derek Hodges|Derek Hodges]] 07:30, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 
==[[CZ:Featured article]]==
Hi Martin, I noticed your message at CZ:Featured article. What Johan Forberg was referring to was that if you update what appears on the welcome page, the main article won't be updated unless you make an edit there too. I've looked over what happened with the Robert Burns article and the summary that appeared on the welcome page never got updated, so it appeared as Chubnum first put it up there [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=CZ:Featured_article/Current&diff=next&oldid=100812585]. What you did was [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Robert_Burns&action=historysubmit&diff=100812629&oldid=100812573 update] the article itself, so the article still appears as you intended.
 
The important point is that if you want the article to reflect what appears on the welcome page, you need to copy and paste the edits. I think you're right that this needs to be more prominent, the question is where to put the notice? [[User:Richard Nevell|Richard Nevell]] 20:47, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 
== Acknowledgement from the Managing Editor ==
 
Martin, on behalf of Citizendium, I want to thank you for your continuing support of the project, through the many new articles you started and the regular monetary donations you have made.
 
I hope you joined the Citizendium-L mailing list (see link in the welcome note at the top of this page). Also hope you will contribute to the discussions in the Forum. [[User:Anthony.Sebastian|Anthony.Sebastian]] 22:54, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 
== Nomination for the Editorial Council ==
 
You have been nominated for an Author seat on the [[CZ:Editorial Council|Editorial Council]] in the [[CZ:Election July-August 2013|July-August Special Election]]. The nominator was myself. To accept or decline this nomination, please visit the [[CZ:Election July-August 2013/Nominations#Editorial Council Author candidates and links to their Statements|Nominations]] page by midnight UTC on July 27th. You may write an election statement for each if you wish (linked from the Nominations page).
 
The Editorial Council seat expires on December 31st, 2013. In the event that [[CZ:Election July-August 2013/Referenda/1|Referendum 1]] is passed, all seats will expire on June 30th, 2014. Thanks! [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 17:25, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 
:Thank you for accepting my nomination. I realise that you did so reluctantly, but I can say having previously occupied the seat that it doesn't have to take up much of your time. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 12:59, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 
==CZC Prop==
[[CZ:Citizendium_Council_proposed_motions#Martin_Wyatt|Good point]].  The charter does not grant the power to "invest".  [[User:Russell D. Jones|Russell D. Jones]] 01:20, 1 October 2013 (UTC) - from the peanut gallery....
 
== Dartmoor ==
 
Sorry for the delay in replying, I rather got sidetracked. As it stands it's good. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-21442474 This piece] from the BBC might add a bit of context, such as the number of cists on Dartmoor and the fact that while the organic material rare for the Bronze Age full stop it was the first such find on Dartmoor. [[User:Richard Nevell|Richard Nevell]] 16:29, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 
== History of agriculture Talk page ==
 
Thanks for your info. There was an error in the redirection. I had to replace your comment with a redirect, but a copy is below - it could go on the main Talk page for the article. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] ([[User talk:John Stephenson|talk]]) 20:09, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 
:This article as it stands is incomplete in ways that create radical imbalance.  The discussion of agriculture in Europe jumps from prehistory to the Middle Ages.  After the Origins section, the bulk of Asia is totally ignored, as is sub-Saharan Africa.  There is no mention of the 17th century developments in technique which made it possible (a) to over-winter cattle, so leading to a great increase in meat production, and (b) to feed very large numbers of people not engaged in agriculture themselves, without which the industrial revolution could not have happened.
 
== Wanted articles ==
 
Hi - I think you mean [[CZ:Wanted articles]]. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] ([[User talk:John Stephenson|talk]]) 14:12, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 
== Norse Mythology ==
 
I noticed you started the article [[Norse Mythology]], and I'm excited about it.  Will look forwards to reading it.  So glad you are still writing in CZ![[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] ([[User talk:Pat Palmer|talk]]) 14:39, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
:Thank you for the kind words.  I doubt whether the article is very exciting: I may develop it a bit.--[[User:Martin Wyatt|Martin Wyatt]] ([[User talk:Martin Wyatt|talk]]) 19:29, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 
== You've been nominated as a candidate in the June 2016 election ==
 
You've been nominated as a candidate for the [[CZ:Council|Citizendium Council]] in the [[User:ElectionJune2016|June 2016 election]]. Please visit [[User:ElectionJune2016/Nominations|this page]] to accept or decline. No action will also be treated as declining. If you accept, you may choose to write an election statement - see the election page for further details. Alternatively, contact me via my Talk page or privately via e-mail. Regards, [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] ([[User talk:John Stephenson|talk]]) 18:55, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
