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!

Actress stubs
Hi Greg. I was going through the Topic Informant Workgroup fixing alphabetical sorting problems and happened to notice that you've created a dozen or so stub-class articles on actresses. I also see you have been a Wikipedia contributor. Citizendium actually has a different policy when it comes to new articles, preferring work in depth on a few articles rather than creating tons of stubs and not expanding them. Also, even stubs should start with at least 50 words of information as a bare minimum.

Article checklist
Hi Greg, I see you have been hard at work! Thanks for you contributions. I need you to go back on the articles that you have started [1] and place CZ:The Article Checklist on their talk pages. The instructions are easy, but if you have any questions just drop a note on my talk page. And, yes, Eric's advice above is spot-on. Matt Innis (Talk) 21:48, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
Thanks Greg! If you need to figure out how to fill them out, I always use this chart:
- abc means the form of the title for alphabetization, e.g. "Doherty, John".
- cat1, cat2 and cat3 are categories; if there is only one category, put it in cat1.
- cat_check: put "yes" if you want someone to check over the categories
- status: 0 for approved articles; 1 developed, 2 developing, 3 stub, 4 external
- underlinked: put "yes" if not enough other articles link to it (click "What links here" at left)
- cleanup: put "yes" if basic cleanup has been done.
- by: Names of anyone editing the checklist, in reverse chronological order.
