Tasks: start a new article • add basic, wanted or requested articles • add definitions • add metadata • edit new pages

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 Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events 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 have fun! We are so glad to have you as part of our community!

Go on and start! Nancy Sculerati MD 12:54, 29 January 2007 (CST)

Your wikipedia edits are awesome! I'd recruit 2 other experts like yourself and that would help improve workgroup activity! I'm hoping we start formally recruiting experts soon. -Tom Kelly (Talk) 13:49, 29 January 2007 (CST)

Architecture WG

I was not sure about it. I only tagged the articles that were in this List. --Versuri 12:28, 30 January 2007 (CST)

Media Assets

Hi Russ. You might want to have a look at CZ:Media Assets Workgroup.  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 04:17, 10 September 2007 (CDT)

Just a warning

Hi Russ, I just noticed that you are creating pages with the subpage /draft. This means something special in Citizendium and it is likely that your article will be lost when the 'real Draft' is created and writes over yours. If you are starting a new article, go ahead and start it in the namespace without the /draft and develop it from there. Thanks, Matt Innis (Talk) 08:01, 10 September 2007 (CDT)

Workgroups

Hello Russ, here is the list of workgroups we are currently using. Old habits from wikipedia die hard ;-) Give this a quick read and if you need a new one, there is a request page as well. --Matt Innis (Talk) 19:34, 10 September 2007 (CDT)

PS. You can find this list by clicking on the 'Workgroup' link on the left column. --Matt Innis (Talk) 19:35, 10 September 2007 (CDT)

Ah gotcha, you mean I put India into the Jahan article metadata......phew. Sorry Matt you might have to really spell things out for me for while, I'm not usually that good at hints, and for some reason the metadata wasn't on my watchlist even though I'd created it - I'll make sure to do it next time as it doesn't do it automatically - presumably this has been noticed? --Russ McGinn 19:53, 10 September 2007 (CDT)
