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! Hayford Peirce 01:45, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Citizendium! Feel free to drop me a line if you have any difficulties using the site and I will be more than happy to help. --Chris Key 16:30, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

A historical welcome!

Are there subject areas where you especially need content at the history website? I'm a History and Military (and other things) Editor, with my historical interests in military, intelligence and special operations, and contemporary U.S. politics. There's a substantial amount of Wars of Vietnam and Vietnam War material here, for example, which I believe does a decent job of showing the complexity and the context, not just something unilaterally U.S. With other History Editors, we've been cleaning up and adding to things in the Pacific War of WWII (help welcome). There's also a good deal on Afghanistan, Iraq, and transnational insurgency. Howard C. Berkowitz 05:01, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

CZ: Ready for approval

In case you hadn't worked it out, the reason it didn't work is because you put *{{p1|Theory of multiple intelligences}}. You actually need to put *{{pl|Theory of multiple intelligences}} - note the lower case l instead of the number 1. --Chris Key 20:55, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Constitutional delegates

Hi Wally,

we are running into formatting problems with these pages. Can you give me a list with all the names (and possibly brief descriptions) of all (or some) of the remaining ones you intend to start? I can then walk you through the standard way of doing this, which should be less cumbersome. Thanks! --Daniel Mietchen 19:45, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I'm created pages for all the members of the Constitutional Convention, so I can later work on an article entitled "Founding Fathers" and link to them. Here are the others that I have yet to do:

James Wilson Gouverneur Morris John Rutledge Charles Cotesworth Pinckney Charles Pinckney Pierce Butler John Blair James Madison Jr. George Washington George Mason James McClur Edmund J. Randolph* George Wythe I appreciate any guidance I can get as I'm new to this!
