User talk:Doris Weil
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! Hayford Peirce 17:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Something is wrong with what you're doing
Hi, Doris,
This is a Constable speaking -- I'm not quite sure what you've done with your recent edit to http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Article_mechanics but whatever it is, it's wrong. You should be making edits on the article page, not this one. If you can't figure out what to do, tomorrow I'll take another look at things and see if I can help you straighten them out.
There must be something wrong with the instructions somewhere, this is the second time this has happened in the last two days.... The CZ Article mechanics page is to tell to *what* to do, not to have edits made to it....

- To follow up on this, you (Doris) probably wanted to add
"Rock the Vote: Building political power for young people". Available: http://www.rockthevote.com/. Accessed: September 25, 2009.
- as a citation in the Rock the Vote article. You can achieve this by typing (or copying) the following code to the relevant place in that page:
<ref name=RtVhomepage>"Rock the Vote: Building political power for young people". Available: http://www.rockthevote.com/. Accessed: September 25, 2009.</ref>
Once you have done that and saved the page, it will automatically appear in the reference section. Hope this helps. --Daniel Mietchen 12:27, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hello again, Doris!
- Please take a look at the title of the page that you are editing. This edit, for example, should have been made at Rock the Vote, which you had done correctly just a few minutes before. I thus reverted your erroneous edit at Interest group. --Daniel Mietchen 20:39, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
