Welcome!

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.

Some ideas for contributions

Hi Mary, welcome aboard CZ. Roger has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical hints on what possibilities you have to contribute. For a start, I just took some of the keywords from the information you supplied upon registration, and display below the current state of the related CZ articles (for documentation, see Template:Rpl/Doc):

•  Immunology: The study of all aspects of the immune system in all animals. ^[e]
•  Pathogen: The organism that causes an infectious disease ^[e]
• Biofilm: Layers of organic material composed of and produced by microorganisms. ^[e]
• Ulcer: Add brief definition or description
•  Wound: Damage to either human or animal skin. ^[e]
• Host: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Host (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
•  Renaissance: Cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Florence in the Late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. ^[e]
•  Medicine: The study of health and disease of the human body. ^[e]
• PhD: A common abbreviation for Doctor of Philosophy. ^[e]

Please join us for Biology Week!

Hello Mary, This is my personal invitation to you to join us now for Biology Week! You are a Biology Editor with us and we need all the editors on hand that we can get. Please take some time to join us on the wiki and simply add or edit biology articles. Also, please let your friends and colleagues who are biologists, biology students, or naturalists, know about Biology Week and ask them to join us, too. Any way you can help make it an event would be most welcome. Think of it as a Biology Workgroup open house. Let's see if we can kick up activity a notch! Thanks in advance! --Larry Sanger 08:54, 22 September 2008 (CDT)

The first Biology Week took place here from Sep 22-28, 2008.
