Welcome!

Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. 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! Roger Lohmann 21:51, 20 January 2008 (CST)

Milton - I've given a partial reply to your question over at Roger Lohmann's talk page. Welcome aboard! Anthony Argyriou 17:36, 21 January 2008 (CST)

CZ wikilinks

Milton- when adjusting links for CZ articles, please make the changes to the links within the article and not within the reference item. This way, if it's a 'redlink' then it will have enhanced visibility and might spurn article creation--if it's a 'bluelink', then it is more likely to be visited than if it was scuttled away in the depths of the references. --Robert W King 09:51, 29 January 2008 (CST)

Robert, thanks for the advice. I will do as you say in the future. - Milton Beychok 11:05, 29 January 2008 (CST)

Article on Garbage

Milton, I had started a stub about Garbage a few weeks ago, and given your background (I just noticed on the EPA page) would you be interested in contributing to it? --Robert W King 13:23, 31 January 2008 (CST)

Robert, thanks for asking me. I still have about eight or so articles lined up in my mind to do. And I really have no expertise in solid waste. So I think I will have to pass on your offer.

You have been in Citizendium since April 2007 and I've been here just for a few weeks. Perhaps you might take a brief look at the each of the seven articles that I have contributed (listed on my user page) and tell me what you think of them. - Milton Beychok 14:43, 31 January 2008 (CST)

Image size

Regarding Image:Motiva_Petroleum_Refinery.jpg, it's good to upload the largest version of the file available. It's more useful to reusers that way. :-) Stephen Ewen 02:43, 2 February 2008 (CST)

Stephen, my primary reason for having uploaded a cropped version of the photo was that I wanted to emphasize the pollution plume from the refinery's flare ... because the photo was to be used in the Air pollution dispersion terminology article.

When you revised my upload to the larger size, the flare's plume is now barely visible in the photo in that article ... which defeats my whole purpose for uploading the photo.

As a compromise, I would like to upload my version again under a different name (Image:Motiva Refinery Flare.jpg). In other words, there would be two versions available. Would that be agreeable with you? - Milton Beychok 10:40, 2 February 2008 (CST)
