Welcome Page

Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start. 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! Hayford Peirce 16:47, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Some ideas for contributions

Hi Peter, welcome aboard CZ. Hayford has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical suggestions 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 related CZ articles (for icon documentation, see Template:Rpl/Doc):

  • Developing Article Physics [r]: The study of forces and energies in space and time. [e]
  • Developing Article Mathematics [r]: The study of quantities, structures, their relations, and changes thereof. [e]
  • Developing Article Science [r]: The organized body of knowledge based on non–trivial refutable concepts that can be verified or rejected on the base of observation and experimentation [e]
  • Stub Education [r]: Learning, teaching, research and scholarship activities for the purpose of organizing, presenting and acquiring knowledge, skills or social norms. [e]
  • Learning [r]: The process of structuring new knowledge. [e]
  • Teaching [r]: Add brief definition or description
  • Tertiary sector [r]: Term usually applies to the service sector, as opposed to the secondary (manufacturing) sector and the primary sector of agriculture, mining, and fishing. The tertiary sector is easily confused with the third sector of nonprofit, philanthropic organizations and civil society institutions. Although there is overlap between the two concepts. Nearly all third sector establishments are in the tertiary sector (i.e. services) although the largest portion of tertiary sector services are not nonprofits. [e]
  • Stub Sociology [r]: Social science that studies human social behavior or social relations, social institutions and structures, demography, public opinion, social welfare, social psychology and some forms of political behavior, as well as the history of sociology. [e]
  • Developed Article History [r]: Study of past human events based on evidence such as written documents. [e]

In order to find articles dealing with similar topics, it's also worth looking at the Related Article subpages of such an article (or the [r]).

Furthermore, in case you are involved in homework assignments, please consider doing so via Eduzendium articles.

Finally, you can help future newcomers by giving your feedback on the above suggestions. To do so, please leave a note on my talk page.

Looking forward to fruitful collaborative editing, --Daniel Mietchen 18:43, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
