Welcome, new editor! We're very glad you've joined us. Here are pointers for a quick start. Also, when you get a chance, please read The Editor Role. You can look at Getting Started and our help system for other introductory pages. It is also important, for project-wide matters, to join the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list.

The Bab

Hi Robert, Nice to see you at work! I added the article checklist to your new article on The Bab. If you could fill it out, that would be great. There are instructions here. If you need any help, just leave me a note on my talk page. Thanks. --Matt Innis (Talk) 15:06, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

Good job! You are now an expert on the article checklist:-) The importance of the The Bab vs Bab, The comes into play here. I think it depend on whether 'The' is used as part of his name or if it is only used as an article. The way you have it puts it in the "B" column and I think that works, because the other way would put it in the "T" column. You are the expert here, though, where should it be? --Matt Innis (Talk) 16:03, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

You were right ;-) Adding categories is part of the basic cleanup on the checklist (I should have checked that earlier). But now you know to do it! --Matt Innis (Talk) 16:17, 20 June 2007 (CDT)

Matt, the article is still alphabetized under "T" rather than "B". How do we fix that? Robert Stockman 17:33, 20 June 2007 (CDT)

Islam

Awesome work on Islam, Robert! I was ignorant of this subject, but your organization, prose and presentation kept me focused till the end. I learned a lot. There were a couple of spots I got a little lost, but I didn't want to stop to make a note, so I'll go through it again later and leave some questions on the talk page that you can address if you want. You need to get two more religion editors to help you fine tune and then get it approved. It will be a great addition to our list! --Matt Innis (Talk) 21:47, 9 May 2007 (CDT)

Made some more edits and Talk comments. Good trading thoughts with you. And I want to encourage you to look at some of the Judaism pieces, turn-around is fair play and would be appreciated! David Hoffman 10:44, 13 May 2007 (CDT)

Quakers

I have been focusing on biographies of people during the American Revolution era and am interested in seeing an article created on the Quakers. I am far from an expert on the subject, but am hoping you might be able to point me in the direction of some quality books on the subject so I can begin researching. Also, if you would be interested in working on the article I would appreciate any expertise that you could provide. Thanks. --Todd Coles 21:38, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
