Quick Start | About us | Help system | Start a new article | For Wikipedians  


Tasks: start a new article • add basic, wanted or requested articles • add definitionsadd metadata • edit new pages

Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start, and see Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any user or the editors for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! --Larry Sanger 03:51, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Fast at work!

Hi Denis, good to see you working hard! Before you get too many articles started, let me introduce you to CZ:The Article Checklist. This needs to be added to the talk page of each of your articles so that it does not get deleted. Let me know if you have any questions. --Matt Innis (Talk) 10:02, 20 July 2007 (CDT) Constable

Welcome

Another Irish author! Welcome, and best of luck. Regards, Anton Sweeney 08:35, 24 July 2007 (CDT)

Write-a-thon

Hi Denis. I don't know if you're aware of Citizendium's first CZ:Monthly_Write-a-Thon, which takes place today, but your new articles entitle you to sign up to the party :-) Anton Sweeney 10:36, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

Image help

For the complete run-down on images, see Help:Images. For most of it in brief, see Special:Upload. Let me know if you need further help or if this help is insufficient and I will walk you though it step-by-step.  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 03:34, 2 August 2007 (CDT)

Irish-related articles

Hi Denis. As you may have noticed, Citizendium does not generally use categories in the same way as other wikis. Where they are used, it is generally for admin - e.g., CZ live articles, disambiguation and workgroups. Unfortunately, at the moment, that means there's no really easy way to spot related articles, e.g., Irish-related articles. This should hopefully change in the future, when Area Studies workgroups should be created, including on a country level. In the meantime, you might want to add appropriate articles to the 'See Also' section of Ireland. I've taken the liberty of adding Kingdom of Oriel there.

Article of the Week

Hey Denis, I'm glad to see someone else has signed up to be an Admin for the Article of the Week program! I'm not sure how much there is for us to do yet, but I hope we can help this program grow. One thing that I just started is CZ:New Article of the Week based on some talk on the AotW talk page and the forums. I was looking for some initial articles to nominate, and one I was considering was actually your Kingdom of Oriel article. As soon as it's changed a little more from the Wikipedia article I plan on nominating it. Carl Jantzen 09:41, 8 August 2007 (CDT)

Edward I looks excellent; I added it to the nomination list. :) Carl Jantzen 09:50, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
