Hi, Jules, glad to see that you're already at work! As you probably saw, I set up the subpage structure for one of your articles. I'll do the same for a second one also. The subpage stuff is the only real difference between us and WP, aside from the general attitude. Once you've done the subpages a couple of times it becomes pretty easy, and even makes sense if you think about it. I'm not an expert on it by any means, but I can find people who are if you have any questions. I also suggest that you click on the "Forums" link over on the left and register with the Forums for discussions. Sorry that you have to register a second time, but that's the way the system has been set up. All the best! [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 15:58, 25 April 2010 (UTC) | |||

Welcome!
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! Hayford Peirce 23:47, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
A second welcome
Hi, Jules, glad to see that you're already at work! As you probably saw, I set up the subpage structure for one of your articles. I'll do the same for a second one also. The subpage stuff is the only real difference between us and WP, aside from the general attitude. Once you've done the subpages a couple of times it becomes pretty easy, and even makes sense if you think about it. I'm not an expert on it by any means, but I can find people who are if you have any questions. I also suggest that you click on the "Forums" link over on the left and register with the Forums for discussions. Sorry that you have to register a second time, but that's the way the system has been set up. All the best! Hayford Peirce 15:58, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
