User talk:Carl Hewitt

Welcome!

Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. 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! Dan Nachbar 08:25, 5 December 2007 (CST)

Carl-- welcome aboard! as a fellow refugee from Wikipedia's hatred of experts, I can assure you of a warm environment at CZ. do send me your email--Richard Jensen = rjensen@uic.edu Richard Jensen 12:13, 5 December 2007 (CST)

Ditto! I was interested to read your thing about your experience at Wikipedia. I had a similar experience, which lead to me basically ceasing contributions, and was moved to write a far less scholarly, and considerably more sarcastic parody of my experiences there; you might find it amusing.

Noel-- thank for your comments and the pointer to your hilarious spoof. Cheers, Carl--Carl Hewitt 17:16, 1 March 2008 (CST)

Editor 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 and our help system for other introductory pages. It is also important, for project-wide matters, to join the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list. Announcements are also available via Twitter. 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 administrator for help, too. 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. --Larry Sanger 09:21, 6 December 2007 (CST)

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 17,243 articles, with 0 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 Mathematics and Computers articles that could be improved and approved, and some Natural and Applied Sciences articles that we don't have yet. You can also create new articles via this guide, and contribute to some Mathematics or Computers pages that have been recently edited here and here - 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 16:05, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
