Welcome Page

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 mailing list in order to stay abreast of editor-related issues. If you wish, just ask us to create a "personal sandbox" for you where you can test out editing and writing articles. If you need help to get going, it is a good idea to join our discussion forums. That's where we discuss policy, proposals or technical problems. You can ask any constable for help, too. 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 you begin actively editing and contributing to Citizendium. Roger A. Lohmann 16:27, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

A personal welcome

I just want to welcome you most warmly and I look forward to your active participation. If there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know. If you would like to see the exisiting Biology articles, just click on this: Category:Biology Workgroup.

If you are unfamiliar with the Wiki Markup language used to write Citizendium articles, I would be pleased to create a personal "sandbox" (personal workplace) where you can practice writing articles ... just let me know. Milton Beychok 22:13, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Some ideas for contributions

Hello Christopher, welcome aboard CZ. Roger and Milton have already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical suggestions on what possibilities you have to contribute. For a start, I just took some of the keywords from the information you supplied upon registration, and display below the current state of related CZ articles (for icon documentation, see Template:Rpl/Doc):

In order to find articles dealing with similar topics, it's also worth looking at the Related Article subpages of such an article (or the [r]).

Furthermore, in case you are involved in homework assignments, please consider doing so via Eduzendium articles.

Finally, you can help future newcomers by giving your feedback on the above suggestions. To do so, please leave a note on my talk page.

Looking forward to fruitful collaborative editing, --Daniel Mietchen 20:53, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
