Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start, and see Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any user or the editors for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun!

You can find some more information about our collaboration groups if you follow this link Citizendium_Pilot:Discipline_Workgroups.You can always ask me on my talk page or others about how to proceed or any other question you might have.

Workgroup introduction

A few words about workgroups

We are indeed happy to have you in the community. We would also like to introduce you to Citizendium's Workgroups and encourage you to--

1. Join a workgroup if you haven't already
2. Help us add workgroup category tags to articles, especially any articles you create
3. Help us spread the word about workgroups within the CZ community

What are workgroups? To answer that question, I'd like to give you a quick tour.

• Start by checking the various workgroups we have at CZ: List of Workgroups. This link can also be found in the left navigation-bar in the 2nd box (Project Pages), 3rd link in that box (Workgroups). The Workgroup Home(s) can be found in the 2nd column in the List of Workgroups.

• For the purposes of this tour, please take a look at the Biology Workgroup Home: CZ:Biology_Workgroup.
• Now let's take a look at the first table on the Biology Workgroup Home (below).

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.

Biology article	All articles (1,623)	To Approve (0)	Editors: active (1) / inactive (46) and Authors: active (441) / inactive (0)	Workgroup Discussion
	Recent changes	Citable Articles (25)
		Subgroups (12.5)

Checklist-generated categories: Underlinked (753) Cat Check (506) Cleanup (0) Subpage categories: Definitions (1,562) Related Articles (1,441 to check 710) Bibliography (400) External Links (446) Gallery (30) Video (33)

Missing subpage categories: Definitions (34) Related Articles (15) Bibliography (32) External Links (33) Article statuses: 104 Developed (status=1) 673 Developing (status=2) 699 Stub (status=3) 105 External (status=4) 128 Advanced (status 0-1) 801 Nonstub (status 0-2) 1,500 Internal (status 0-3)

• In the 2nd column, find the link that says, "all articles," which lists all articles that users have placed [[Category:Biology Workgroup]] at the bottom of their articles.
• Now click on the "recent changes" link underneath the "all articles" in the 2nd column in the top table. This lists all recent changes in articles that have been tagged [[Category:Biology Workgroup]]. In one glance, you can view all the changes that happened while you were away! Feel free to click on all the links to get an idea how the information for your workgroup is organized. All these lists are populated by articles that have the categories properly placed at the bottom of their pages.

This completes your virtual-tour of CZ workgroups. I hope you can see the usefulness of having all articles in Citizendium tagged properly with your Workgroup categories. Make sure to add the Workgroup category labels to your new articles. This is an important part of the Approval process.

Be sure to join a workgroup and take part in this opportunity to collaborate with others who have similar interests as you. You can see what others are working on in the Workgroup recent changes and join in! Remember, we want you to be bold in your contributions at Citizendium.

To add yourself to a workgroup, use the form [[Category:Education Authors|Smith, Bob]], etc., and add it to your user page. Substitute the proper work group for "Education" in the example, and your name-Last, First for the names in the example.

Do not add yourself to the Editors list, only CZ staff add "Editors" to user pages after proper review of applications is completed. To apply to become an editor, please see Editor Application Review Procedure.

To add a workgroup category tag to an article, use the form [[Category:Education Workgroup]] at the bottom of the article. Substitute in the proper workgroup for "Education" in the example.

Opplasting

Hei. Jeg får av en eller annen grunn ikke til å laste opp, kanskje du kan prøve? Kan du i såfall laste opp dette bildet for meg? Hilsen Kjetil Ree 08:45, 24 May 2007 (CDT)

Jeg får det heller ikke til; kommer bare til en tom side tittelert "Finner ikke siden". Sannsynligvis er det noe galt med CZ' opplastningsfunksjon, og ikke PC-ene våre :D Erik Fløan 09:33, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

Ok, takk for at du prøvde. Jeg skal sende bugrapport til rette vedkommende. Hvilken nettleser og operativsystem bruker du? Kjetil Ree 09:43, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

Nettleser: Windows Explorer 11 (den nyeste iallefall) og Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2. Erik Fløan 04:49, 27 May 2007 (CDT)

Image uploads

Hi Eric. Please revisit Image:Langstein_railway_station.jpg, Image:Nord-trondelag map.png, and Image:Jens_Stoltenberg.jpg to place the exact sources of the images. That information must be verifiable. Thanks, Stephen Ewen 23:01, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

I'm sorry, but one of the uploaders from Wikipedia Commons didn't indentifie him self ("Mahlum"). He gave at least the picture Public Domain. Couldn't we link to his userpages at no.WP? (User:Mahlum) Erik Fløan 14:37, 31 May 2007 (CDT)

It cannot work that way. See the policy Images from Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Flickr, Openphoto.net, etc. and this discussion for the reasons behind the policy. --Stephen Ewen 14:55, 31 May 2007 (CDT)
