User talk:Dalton Holland Baptista
Welcome!
Welcome, new editor! We're very glad you've joined us. Here are pointers for a quick start. Also, when you get a chance, please read The Editor Role. You can look at Getting Started for other helpful introductory pages. It is essential for you as an editor to join the Citizendium-Editors (broadcast) mailing list in order to stay abreast of editor-related issues, as well as the mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. It is also important, for project-wide matters, to join the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list. 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 thank you! We appreciate your willingness to share your expertise, and we hope to see your edits on Recent changes soon.

Hi Dalton (or Holland?), don't worry about the specifics of CZ. You can learn as you go. A good starting point for you would be to bring articles from wikipedia over here that you think are high quality. Then you can get the feel of the place here by reformating the articles. Let me know if you have any questions. Chris Day 18:53, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Another thing, this place is much more quiet than wikipedia and we are very embryonic. On the other hand this has the advantage that we can really make major changes in how things are presented. The tree of life project here had a little lease of life but the original contributors have drifted off, I suspect due to the lack of a critical mass. in short, if you have some unique ideas on how to present botany articles feel free to experiment, you are not obligated to follow the wikipedia model. If you have a look in the forums you will fin there were a few discussion with respect to naming conventions. I think those will be of interest to you. I'll try and track down some specific links for you. Chris Day 18:58, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Just a heads up, you can't customise them here the same way as at wikipedia. So don't pull your hair out trying to find out how to do it. Chris Day 19:01, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
