Let's get started!
| You can find an array of Citizendium help pages here, all aimed at explaining "the basics"--what you need to know to get started as a Citizen. Please explore and read, but bear in mind: you can learn a lot by doing, and no one will mind if you make a few mistakes as you do so. Since this is a wiki, mistakes can be easily fixed. Be Bold--and welcome! |

[[Category:CZ Authors]]is on the page if you're an author (or an editor who wants also to be counted among the authors), and[[Category:CZ Editors]]if you're an editor. If you're an author, you can add other workgroup author categories to taste, such as[[Category:Philosophy Authors|LastName, FistName]]. Note that only Citizendium management can add workgroup editor categories, such as[[Category:Chemistry Editors]]. - Sign up to the community announcement list, Citizendium-L.
