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! Sarah Tuttle 07:44, 18 January 2008 (CST)

Definition templates
I have just "activated" the subpages for the Canada article (actually, all that is necessary to do this is to put the subpages tag at the top). I have also built out a small starter set of related articles for Canada. If you click on the red "Template:Def" beside those articles in the list which do not already have definitions (most of them at this point) you will be taken to an edit page where you can enter a definition (briefly, in 30 words or less, tell what, or who, ___________ is?
These definitions will be used wherever the "r" template is used to enter article titles in the listings on the "Related Articles" subpages.
Sometimes when I write my definitions, I am "composing at the keyboard", so some of them might need to be re-touched.
I would urge you to experiment with the subpages. The best way to find out how they are supposed to work is to learn by doing.
