:Thank you! It's great to be here. In a previous career lasting a decade I worked as a programmer at a PBS affiliate [Web] so I'm hoping that the minimal coding here is a puzzle I figure out quickly! I'm reading the links you suggested, plus I already created a page. Now I need to figure out the meta and talk pages. And maybe join some work groups.

::Hi, Maria, great to see you here -- we could sure use some Lit. Editors!

Revision as of 23:44, 1 April 2011
Welcome!
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 me 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. Milton Beychok 01:19, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Congratulations on your Editorships !!
Congratulations Maria! You have been confirmed as an Editor in our Classics workgroup, Literature workgroup and Philosophy workgroup.
Please take the time to read and to study all of the articles available at the blue wiki links in the above Welcome message. In particular, the one entitled The Author Role is very important to study in depth,
You should also read these motions passed by our recently elected Editorial Council: [1], [[2] and [3]. The three of them all relate to the role and the qualifications of Editors in Citizendium. Take your time to study and to understand them ... and then implement their requirements if applicable. If you need help understanding any of the three passed motions, contact Hayford Pierce, the Secretary of our Editorial Council.
Again, congratulations and enjoy yourself here! Milton Beychok 01:40, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
