[[Category:Editor Policy]]
'''Welcome, new editor!'''  We're very glad you've joined us.  Here are pointers for a [[CZ:Quick Start|quick start]].  Also, when you get a chance, please read [[CZ:The Editor Role|The Editor Role]].  You can look at [[CZ:Getting Started|Getting Started]] for other helpful introductory pages.  It is essential for you as an editor to join [https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-editors the Citizendium-Editors (broadcast) mailing list] in order to stay abreast of editor-related issues, as well as the [[CZ:Mailing lists|mailing list(s)]] that concern your particular interests.  It is also important, for project-wide matters, to join [https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list].  You can test out [[CZ:How to edit an article|editing]] in the [[CZ:Sandbox|sandbox]] if you'd like.  If you need help to get going, the [http://forum.citizendium.org/ forums] is one option.  That's also where we discuss policy and proposals.  You can ask any [[:Category:CZ Constables|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 [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]] soon. [[User:David E. Volk|David E.

== Some ideas for contributions ==

Hi Eileen,
welcome aboard CZ. David has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical hints on what possibilities you have to contribute. For a start, I just 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]]):
{{rpl|Life}}
{{rpl|Science}}
{{rpl|Biology}}
{{rpl|Biochemistry}}
{{rpl|Chemistry}}
{{rpl|Analytical chemistry}}
{{rpl|Medicine}}
{{rpl|Medical informatics}}
{{rpl|Speech recognition}}
{{rpl|Metadata}}
{{rpl|Drexel University}}
{{rpl|Open notebook science}}
{{rpl|Weaving}}
{{rpl|Embroidery}}

In order to find articles dealing with similar topics, it's also worth looking at the [[:Category:Related Article Subpages|Related Article]] [[CZ:Subpages|subpages]] of such an article.

Furthermore, in case you are involved in homework assignments, please consider doing so via [[CZ:Eduzendium|Eduzendium articles]].

Finally, you can help future newcomers by giving your feedback on the above suggestions. To do so, please leave a note on [[User talk:Daniel Mietchen|my talk page]].

Looking forward to fruitful collaborative editing, [[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 09:08, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
