: Hi Wesley, just wanted to stop by and say welcome. It's good to see new authors contributing so quickly, and it looks like you have a pretty good grasp on the subpage mechanics too. I'm not active in your workgroups, but if you have any kind of general questions, please feel free to ask. --[[User:Todd Coles|Todd Coles]] 10:02, 8 March 2008 (CST) | : Hi Wesley, just wanted to stop by and say welcome.

Wesley, excellent questions. I had to do some digging to find the actual policy on language usage. I found it here - [[CZ:Editorial Council Resolution 0005]]. It might be somewhere else but I didn't notice. My understanding is that the choice is up to the initial author. The Editor-in-Chief has final say on that, and I believe I've seen him change it on one article, but this hasn't really been a big issue. As far as determining status, you are free to upgrade that as you see fit - as is anyone else. So if you start a stub and label it as such, and I come along and add a few paragraphs, I'd go ahead and upgrade it to "developing" and so on. The only limitations you have as an author is you cannot set the status to "approved". | |||
Hope that helped, let me know if I need to clarify and I'll see what I can do. --[[User:Todd Coles|Todd Coles]] 15:39, 8 March 2008 (CST) | |||

Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. 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! Dan Nachbar 18:34, 7 March 2008 (CST)
