Welcome!
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! Chris Key 23:56, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Welcome, Nicole
Hi, Nicole:
While you are reviewing our Citizendium policies, you might want to look as Help:Index/Map to see the various Help pages that are available.
Also, if you so desire, I would be happy to provide you with a personal "sandbox" where:
- You can practice writing articles in the Wiki markup language.
- If you already know the Wiki markup language, you can draft any articles you want to write and keep changing them until you are completely satisfied with them ... and then you can create a new article by cutting and pasting the sandbox article into the new one.
- You can invite other Citizens to visit your sandbox, review a prospective article that you wrote in sandbox, and ask for their comments/critique before you proceed to cut and paste it into a new article.
Just let me know at User talk:Milton Beychok and I will create your sandbox. Enjoy yourself here at Citizendium,. Milton Beychok 03:59, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
