Welcome Page

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 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 the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list (do join!) and the blog. Please also join the workgroup mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forums is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any constable for help, too. Me, for instance! Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! Anton Sweeney 20:23, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome from a fellow Chemical Engineer

Hi, Jean.

As a fellow Chemical Engineer, I want to warmly welcome you to Citizendium. Click on Category:Engineering Workgroup to see all of our existing Engineering Workgroup articles (some of which are merely stubs, some are developing articles, some are developed articles and waiting to be nominated for Approval, and some are Approved articles).

Also, click on Category:Chemical Engineering Subgroup to see all of our existing Chemical Engineering Subgroup articles ( also ranging from stubs to Approved).

To join the Chemical Engineering Subgroup, go to the Edit section of your user page and write [[Category:Chemical Engineering Members|Hunter, Jean B.]] just beneath all the other categories on your user page ... or if you want me to do it for you, let me know on my Talk (Discussion) page.

Once again, welcome on board! Milton Beychok 20:50, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Please read my response to you at User talk:Milton Beychok

Jean, please read my response at User talk:Milton Beychok to your comment about your students. I think you will find it useful ... at least, I hope so. Milton Beychok 00:25, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits

Jean, thanks for your edits of the Flash evaporation/Draft article. Milton Beychok 22:36, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Course homepage

Hi Jean,

I started to set up a course homepage at CZ:Cornell University 2010 BEE 4640 Bioseparation Processes. To complete that, please try to follow the instructions in the Course mechanics section. If anything is unclear or behaves unexpectedly, please let me know. By the way, I did some work related to bioseparation a decade ago, on electrorotation.

As to getting one's feet wet, I agree that stubs or lemmas would be a good idea. In both cases, the value increases significantly if the Related Articles subpage is filled in as well. And starting lemmas is by design more easy from Related Articles pages.

We also noticed a tendency that articles produced by teams of 2-4 are generally better than those produced by a single student.

Please let me know if I can be of further help.

I hope you and the students will enjoy the class!

Mathematical Equations

Jean, in general we use LaTeX for mathematical equations. CZ has a good article on the use of LaTeX at Help:Displaying mathematical formulas. I keep a printout of that article at hand whenever I work on an article that contains a number of math equations. If your students want to look at a WP article on LaTeX, that is their choice ... but I think the CZ article is more than adequate.

As for chemical reactions, I personally prefer using HTML for them ... but others have used LaTeX for chemical reactions as well.
