Welcome Page

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 for other helpful introductory pages. It is essential for you as an editor to join the Citizendium-Editors (broadcast) mailing list in order to stay abreast of editor-related issues, as well as the mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. It is also important, for project-wide matters, to join the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list. 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 thank you! We appreciate your willingness to share your expertise, and we hope to see your edits on Recent changes soon.

Welcome to a fellow editor and author

As a fellow editor and author in Citizendium, I want to offer you a very warm welcome! Please visit the Category:Religion Workgroup and the Category:Linguistics Workgroup to see all of the articles already in those workgroups.

I have taken the liberty of creating a personal sandbox page for you. To access your sandbox, just click on the blue link labeled My sandbox in the upper, left-hand corner of your User page. Once you get there, you can click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and 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.

Don't know what the Wiki markup language is? Click ==> CZ:How to edit an article. Also, click ==> CZ:Home to find a complete list of all our help pages. Another excellent way to learn the Wiki markup language is to click on the "Edit" tab at the top of any article and see how the markup language was used there.

Enjoy! Milton Beychok 17:00, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
