Hi Megan, | |||
welcome aboard CZ. Hayford has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical suggestions on what possibilities you have to contribute.

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 14:37, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Megan, and welcome to Citizendium! Our interests are quite different, but if you have any problems using the site please let me know and I shall be more than happy to help! --Chris Key 16:10, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Also welcome! If you can find a video game featuring an arthropod or fungus, Chris should be much more interested. :-) Howard C. Berkowitz 19:38, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Some ideas for contributions
Hi Megan, welcome aboard CZ. Hayford has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical suggestions on what possibilities you have to contribute. For a start, I turned Cantharellus cibarius into CZ style by this series of edits and these two corrections.
I also took some of the keywords from the information you supplied upon registration, and display below the current state of related CZ articles (for icon documentation, see Template:Rpl/Doc):
Life [r]: Living systems, of which biologists seek the commonalities distinguishing them from non-living systems. [e]
Organism [r]: An individual living individual: a complex, adaptive physical system that acts a integrated unit that sustains metabolism and reproduces progeny that resemble it. [e]- Arthropod [r]: Phylum containing insects, crustaceans, and organisms with a hard shell-like segmented body. [e]
Nature [r]: The physical world. [e]- Forest (biology) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Wood [r]: Organic material produced as a secondary xylem in the stems of trees (and other woody plants). [e]
- Bog [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Swamp [r]: Add brief definition or description
Insect [r]: One of numerous small arthropod animals with six legs, an exoskeleton that grows by molting, and oftentimes wings. [e]- Flight (biology) [r]: Aerial locomotion by living organisms. [e]
- Biology [r]: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. [e]
- Newfoundland [r]: Add brief definition or description
In order to find articles dealing with similar topics, it's also worth looking at the Related Article subpages of such an article (or the [r]).
Furthermore, in case you are involved in homework assignments, please consider doing so via Eduzendium articles.
Finally, you can help future newcomers by giving your feedback on the above suggestions. To do so, please leave a note on my talk page.
Looking forward to fruitful collaborative editing, --Daniel Mietchen 21:45, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
