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! Larry Sanger 02:30, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Adding a welcome...

I'm a Military Workgroup editor, with some gap-filling activity in history, and a fair bit of real-world political experience in the past. If you'd be interested in commenting on some military history articles that would fall into your area of interest, of if I can give any other help, drop me an email or a note on my user page.

Dear mr. Kolterman, Chris is the main instigator of the concept of clusters with subpages. He did not delete your appendix but moved it to a subpage named "addendum" in accordance with this philosophy. Apparently he forgot to mention this move on the talk page of your article (that I read with pleasure). Hope you will contribute more of this caliber. --Paul Wormer 08:04, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

This really isn't Wikipedia. Chris was only moving your content to a subpage.

Chris is really one of the most helpful and gracious people we have in Citizendium. I guess he assumed you understood the subpage system that is used here. It is one of the differences between us and WP. For example:

  • We have no "See also" section. Instead, we have a "Related Articles" subpage.
  • We have no "External links" section. Instead, we have an "External links" subpage.
  • We have no "Bibliography section". Instead, we have a "Bibliography" subpage.

There also many other subpages, like "Tutorial", "Video", "Catalogs", etc. Chris simply moved your Appendix material into an "Addendum" subpage.

So please, shake hands with Chris ... and please stay here. I read your article and enjoyed it very much. Milton Beychok 08:32, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Indeed; Chris is one of a number of us who try to make helpful contributions on many articles in the spirit of collaboration - sometimes we forget a) to explain what we've done and b) forget to say (because we always take it for granted) that the author should revert changes he doesn't like without hesitation. If I do edit your articles, and I make some changes to many, please always know that you should revert any changes I make without explanation or hesitation if you don't agree. We really do just mean well.Gareth Leng 09:38, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
What he said. I sent you an e-mail too. Sorry for the confusion. Chris Day 14:25, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Your edit on Larry Sanger's talk page

Hi S.W., I assumed that this edit on Larry's talk page was a mistake. If you were trying to talk to Larry, you can try again. D. Matt Innis 22:27, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
