== Fast at work! ==
*Retired
 
Hi Denis, good to see you working hard!  Before you get too many articles started, let me introduce you to [[CZ:The Article Checklist]].  This needs to be added to the talk page of each of your articles so that it does not get deleted. Let me know if you have any questions.  --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 10:02, 20 July 2007 (CDT) Constable
 
== Welcome ==
 
Another Irish author!  Welcome, and best of luck. Regards, [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 08:35, 24 July 2007 (CDT)
 
== Write-a-thon ==
 
Hi Denis.  I don't know if you're aware of Citizendium's first [[CZ:Monthly_Write-a-Thon]], which takes place today, but your new articles entitle you to sign up to the party :-) [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 10:36, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
 
==Image help==
For the complete run-down on images, see [[Help:Images]].  For most of it in brief, see [[Special:Upload]].  Let me know if you need further help or if this help is insufficient and I will walk you though it step-by-step.   —[[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] [[User talk:Stephen Ewen|(Talk)]] 03:34, 2 August 2007 (CDT)
 
== Irish-related articles ==
 
Hi Denis.  As you may have noticed, Citizendium does not generally use categories in the same way as other wikis.  Where they are used, it is generally for admin - e.g., CZ live articles, disambiguation and workgroups.  Unfortunately, at the moment, that means there's no really easy way to spot related articles, e.g., Irish-related articles.  This should hopefully change in the future, when Area Studies workgroups should be created, including on a country level.  In the meantime, you might want to add appropriate articles to the 'See Also' section of [[Ireland]].  I've taken the liberty of adding [[Kingdom of Oriel]] there.  Regards, [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 09:29, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
 
:Actually, I've just changed the category on the Checklist of the article from 'Developed' to 'External' - it does require three substantial changes from the external version before it can be marked as being in category 0 to 3.  Feel free to change it back to Developed when you've had some time to edit it.  Regards, [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 09:54, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
 
==Article of the Week==
Hey Denis, I'm glad to see someone else has signed up to be an Admin for the Article of the Week program! I'm not sure how much there is for us to do yet, but I hope we can help this program grow. One thing that I just started is [[CZ:New Article of the Week]] based on some talk on the AotW talk page and the forums. I was looking for some initial articles to nominate, and one I was considering was actually your [[Kingdom of Oriel]] article. As soon as it's changed a little more from the Wikipedia article I plan on nominating it. [[User:Carl Jantzen|Carl Jantzen]] 09:41, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
 
[[Edward I]] looks excellent; I added it to the nomination list. [[User:Carl Jantzen|Carl Jantzen]] 09:50, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
 
That's what makes it ''New'' Article of the Week material. Otherwise we'd have to nominate it for (Old) Article of the Week. :) [[User:Carl Jantzen|Carl Jantzen]] 09:55, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
 
 
Hi Denis,
 
Saw you had linked the Battle of Evesham. Ta. Let me know what on-line sources you have for future references. I will continue to work on related articles. --[[User:Thomas Simmons|Thomas Simmons]] 05:43, 9 August 2007 (CDT)
 
And by the way, could you link your user page to articles you write. I can keep tabs on what you are doing in the history workgroup and look for more material to support your efforts. --[[User:Thomas Simmons|Thomas Simmons]] 05:45, 9 August 2007 (CDT)
 
== Éamon de Valera ==
 
Hey.  Not going to get anything done on this tonight... :-(  What I'll try to do is get some background stuff together and aim to kick it off, work allowing, on Wednesday morning, during the new [[CZ:Weekly Wiki]].  Hopefully that will attract some other editors in.  By the way - that's a ''lot'' of new articles you've started - good job!  Regards, [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 13:08, 12 August 2007 (CDT)
 
Cool, I'll add my two cents at some stage! I usually spend a lot of time online here at work (I'm working in the Civil Service for the Summer) And as you may have assumed, the Department of Agriculture doesn;t provide much work for me to do! [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 14:45, 12 August 2007 (CDT)
 
== Michael Collins ==
 
Kicked off a page on [[Michael Collins|"the Big Fella"]] - feel free to rip asunder, rearrange expand and generally kick into shape!
 
Oh, just to note - when you're adding a checklist to articles, the "abc" field is done surname first - so it'd be "abc= Collins, Michael" not "abc= Michael Collins".  Regards, [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 06:14, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
 
 
He's looking okay for a stub. Good to see him up and going though! [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 06:21, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
