User talk:Charles Peyser

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.

Charles omits to mention on his bio that he was Nupedia's Psychology Editor...not sure he's proud of that, but I know I enjoyed working with him back then. --Larry Sanger 15:56, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Zero articles completed doesn't suggest being Nupedia's Psychology Editor as a bio entry. And there is residual frustration at complete failure to recruit authors. I do recall most fondly my role as lead copywriter (two per article in the Nupedia scheme) … working with three authors on four articles published (out of a total of 24 for all of Nupedia, I seem to recall). Larry Sanger was the author of two of these, on Irish music. Another was in the Classics group (a 5th century bishop). Charles Peyser 20:13, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Recuitment is always an issue, but maybe harder when the idea of an internet encyclopedia was ahead of the curve? Chris Day 20:20, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Returning to Citizendium: an update on the project and how to get involved

Hello - some time ago you became part of the Citizendium project, but we haven't seen you around for a while. Perhaps you'd like to update your public biography or check on the progress of any pages you've edited so far.

Citizendium now has over 16,000 articles, with more than 150 approved by specialist Editors such as yourself, but our contributor numbers require a boost. We have an initiative called 'Eduzendium' that brings in students enrolled on university courses to write articles for credit, but we still need more Editors across the community to write, discuss and approve material. There are some developed Psychology articles that could be improved and approved, and some high-priority Social Science articles that we don't have yet. You can also create new articles via this guide, and contribute to some Psychology pages that have been recently edited - or to any others on Citizendium, since you're a general Author as well as a specialist Editor. You may like to contribute to discussions in the forums, and might consider running for an elected position on the Management and Editorial Councils that oversee the project.

If you have any questions, let me know via my Talk page or by leaving a message below this one. Thank you for signing up and reading this update; I hope that you will look in on our community soon. John Stephenson 14:47, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
