Welcome!

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


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! D. Matt Innis 12:36, 17 September 2008 (CDT)

Movies

Hey Audrey--

First off, welcome to Citizendium! Secondly, my ears pricked up when I saw that you are interested in film-- me too, and it's not something we have a lot of articles about here. I've been slowly trying to write articles on film-related stuff. Let me know what film-related stuff you're into; perhaps we could collaborate on an article or two.

Welcome to a fellow chemical engineer!

Audrey, as a chemical engineer myself, I want to welcome you to Citizendium and I look forward to working with you.

If there is anything I can do to help you get started here, please let me know!

Visit my user page by clicking here ==> User:Milton Beychok and contact me whenever you wish. If you would rather communicate by email, simply go to my user page, scroll down the vertical panel on the left-hand side until you see "E-mail this user" and click on that.

Once more, welcome. Milton Beychok 17:47, 20 September 2008 (CDT)

I have created a sandbox for you

I have taken the liberty of creating a personal sandbox page for you. To access your sandbox, just click on the link labeled My sandbox in the upper, left-hand corner of your User page. Once you get there, you can click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and you can:

  • Practice writing articles in the Wiki markup language.
  • If you already know the Wiki markup language, you can draft any articles you want to write and keep changing them until you are completely satisfied with them ... and then you can create a new article by cutting and pasting the sandbox article into the new one.
  • You can invite other Citizens to visit your sandbox, review a prospective article that you wrote in sandbox, and ask for their comments/critique before you proceed to cut and paste it into a new article.

Don't know what the Wiki markup language is? Click ==>CZ:How to edit an article    Another excellent way to learn the Wiki markup coding is to click on the "Edit" tab at the top of any article and see how the markup coding was used there.

Enjoy! Milton Beychok 18:41, 24 September 2008 (CDT)
