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! D. Matt Innis 12:34, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Charles, welcome to CZ. We appreciate your efforts to contribute to our project. However, it seems that you still need to get acquainted with our guidelines and principles.
For instance, we have severe restrictions concerning the importation of articles (see). While articles written by you alone may be imported, importation must not be the first and main activity. Moreover, even correctly imported articles need to be adapted to our style.
Further, we do not have articles like Object (things) or Names (words), and we do not use and create Categories as you did.
