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! Stephen Ewen 18:37, 20 April 2008 (CDT)
- Thank You Stephen.
Despite my nomination that your article on political power gets speedydelete, I hope that does not discourage you from contributing to Citizendium. You should probably repost your article somewhere else on the Web - maybe on Wordpress, a free blog hosting site or on a wiki better suited to non-encyclopedic contributions. Please take the time to read the fundamentals and the FAQ. As a speaker of other languages, you may also want to add yourself to CZ:International, so that we can help plan future language versions of Citizendium. --Tom Morris 08:07, 21 April 2008 (CDT)
- It's OK. One other Encyclopedic site gave me space for this, they have a section named Essays. I think You shoul have one too. I really don't think that "original research" is always bad to Encyclopedic knowledge. Perhaps somebody could find something really original and good to develop and makd more perfect, who knows?. Otherwise somebody could think that to come back to Stone Age would be a good idea. Best regards.
- Citizendium does have a policy called Signed Articles, which allows essays written by experts in a particular domain to be published, but it's not widely used (see the list). I don't think that not allowing anybody to post personal essays or original research is regressive or will lead to society devolving to being akin to the Stone Ages - there are plenty of places to publish such material online - weblogs, free hosting services, personal wikis, message boards and mailing lists. Citizendium and Wikipedia are about working collectively to produce an encyclopedia, while essays are in the domain of personal rather than collective publishing. Please be sure to get involved in contributing to articles in the Politics Workgroup or any other workgroup that you are interested in. --Tom Morris 16:37, 21 April 2008 (CDT)
- I'm sure that if we are going to progress some things must change. I believe that sooner or later some "expert" should develop seriously the subject of the emotional basis of political power. I think nobody has done it until now. Best regards.
