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! Matt Innis (Talk) 15:51, 23 October 2007 (CDT)
Profit and loss
I saw your talk page question on how to rename "Profit" to "Profit and loss". You just use the move button at the top of the article and type in the new name. This is now done.

SOA article
Hajo, I have taken the liberty of renaming your Service_Oriented_Architecture_/_Service_Orientation article to a title of simply SOA because I felt that it was too complicated to link to the original title. I hope to write a web service article very shortly that will link over to the definition of SOA that you began. Thanks for authoring in the Computers workgroup!Pat Palmer 13:00, 13 July 2008 (CDT)
- I've just read the SOA article a little more carefully. I don't really agree that the term "SOA" has a fluid or vague meaning; I think, instead, that many articles have been written in the popular press about it by people who do not understand the intended technology issues. In fact, I believe that it is large the popular press who have invented the term. My understanding has been, for quite some time, that SOA refers to the use of "web services" (either REST or SOAP style) to accomplish software reuse. The attempt to stretch it to other meanings has been a misguided and seems to be a misinterpretation by people who don't really know what "web services" are. So unless you violently disagree, I intend to revise the article somewhat.Pat Palmer 13:09, 13 July 2008 (CDT)
