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 Citizendium_Pilot:Discipline_Workgroups.You can always ask me on my talk page or others about how to proceed or any other question you might have.

Have fun and Happy editing! -Matt Innis (Talk) 18:53, 26 February 2007 (CST)

Good to see!

Anthony, I see you are hard at work!!! Keep going,,,, so much to do, so little time:) and welcome again. Matt Innis (Talk) 20:24, 27 February 2007 (CST)

I went ahead and added you to the engineering authors list (see your user page). You would certainly qualify as an editor. Look into it after you get comfortable here. You can add yourself as an author to any group that you would like to edit. Have fun. -Matt Innis (Talk) 20:36, 27 February 2007 (CST)

8 sentences

Hi. The issue is being discussed, see User talk:James F. Perry and User talk:Larry Sanger#On WP credits. Actiually, I have no strong opinions, just would like to set up _some working standards (considering that no author is supposed to "guarantee" his texts forever). As for Irish dance, look at this

  • Irish dance comes in several forms, which can broadly be divided into social dances and performance dances.
  • Most competitive stepdances are solo dances, though many stepdancers also perform and compete using traditional set and ceili dances.
  • Set dances are folk dances of Ireland based on French quadrilles.
  • There is a distinction between the noun ceili, and the adjective.
  • A ceili is a social gathering featuring Irish music and dance.
  • Ceili dancing is a specific type of Irish dance.
  • Irish solo stepdances fall into two broad categories based on the shoes worn: hardshoe and soft shoe dances.
  • Reels are in 2/4 or 4/4 time.

Well, I do not know whether 1,2, 5 or 8 identical sentences is enough to give credits (formally it is, assuming we know nothing about authorship). In view of some recent criticism (see CZ:Notice Board#March 27, 2007), I acted quite formally :-) AFAIK, we have a few hundred articles more in need of the WP-credit...
