'''Welcome, new editor!'''  We're very glad you've joined us.  Here are pointers for a [[CZ:Quick Start|quick start]].  Also, when you get a chance, please read [[CZ:The Editor Role|The Editor Role]].  You can look at [[CZ:Getting Started|Getting Started]] for other helpful introductory pages.  It is essential for you as an editor to join [https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-editors 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 [[CZ:How to edit an article|editing]] and writing articles.  If you need help to get going, it is a good idea to join our [http://forum.citizendium.org/ discussion forums]. That's where we discuss policy, proposals or technical problems.  You can ask any [[:Category:CZ Constables|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.

== A personal welcome ==

As a fellow engineering editor, I want to personally welcome you Citizendium. I look forward to soon seeing some contributions from you

*Click here ==> [[:Category:Engineering Workgroup]] to see a list of all the existing Engineering articles.
*Click here ==> [[:Category:Physics Workgroup]] to see a list of all the existing Physics articles.
*Click here ==> [[:Category:Business Workgroup]] to see a list of all the existing Business articles.

I hope that you will enjoy your participation in writing an online encyclopedia. [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 20:11, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

== Some ideas for contributions ==

Dear David,
welcome aboard CZ. Milton has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical suggestions on what possibilities you have to contribute. For a start, I just took some of the keywords from the information you supplied upon registration, and display below the current state of related CZ articles (for icon documentation, see [[Template:Rpl/Doc]]):
{{rpr|Science}}
{{rpr|Scientific method}}
{{rpr|Physics}}
{{rpr|Nuclear physics}}
{{rpr|Engineering}}
{{rpr|Business}}
{{rpr|Technology}}
{{rpr|Microtechnology}}
{{rpr|Nanotechnology}}
{{rpr|Photography}}
{{rpr|Optics}}
{{rpr|Astronomy}}
{{rpr|Swimming}}
{{rpr|Painting}}
{{rpr|Garden}}
{{rpr|Gardening}}
{{rpr|Science fiction}}

In order to find articles dealing with similar topics, it's also worth looking at the [[:Category:Related Article Subpages|Related Article]] [[CZ:Subpages|subpages]] of such an article (or the [r]).

Furthermore, in case you are involved in homework assignments, please consider doing so via [[CZ:Eduzendium|Eduzendium articles]].

Finally, you can help future newcomers by giving your feedback on the above suggestions. To do so, please leave a note on [[User talk:Daniel Mietchen|my talk page]].

Looking forward to fruitful collaborative editing, --[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 00:01, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

== Questionnaire ==

You may have been  too busy to  deal with  the  questionnaire that we sent  to you   (by  e mail )   last  Tuesday -  or you may not wish to complete it . Either way, it would help us to plan our work if you would indicate below whether  you   intend to complete it.

There is a copy of the questionnaire at  [[user:Nick_Gardner_/Sandbox]]
