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 CZ: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!

Image upload
Hi Edna. Thanks for your work here on Citizendium, which I suspect will be very interesting given your profession. Just a note about http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Image:Gilad.jpg which you recently uploaded. What do you mean by "Copyright free"? Who took the photo? Do you have documentation of having received permission that you can post as a subpage to the image? All of this information must be very clear as regards images. Please advise so we can work things out. - Stephen Ewen 01:35, 28 March 2007 (CDT)
Hi Stephen! Thanks for your note. The photographer for that pic is Robert Burns. However, I would like to remove that photograph and have just uploaded a better photograph which was taken by the photographer, Eamonn Mccabe, and is the property of Gilad Atzmon (i.e. he bought the copyright from the photographer). I have been compiling some info about Atzmon into an encyclopedic piece for Citizendium. So I contacted him about the copyright and received his response this morning, which confirms Atzmon is the copyright owner and gives permission to use it. If you would like him to send an e-mail directly to you confirming that, please e-mail him at Gilad Atzmon [giladatzmon@mac.com] Thanks Steven. Edna Spennato
- Hi Edna, thanks for your note. Given what you said, what you need to do to upload the picture and any such like it for use in articles is follow the directions here http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=User_talk:Gary_Giamboi&diff=prev&oldid=100061183 while tailoring them for an image rather than text. Once you create the permissions page let me know so I can lock it. Also, you need to note in the article's image text box the copyright and permissions status.
