Recruitment letter

Dear colleagues,

The on-line encyclopedia "Citizendium" at http://en.citizendium.org needs your help. It is a non-profit volunteer project to build a free online information resource. It is like Wikipedia but with more input from professionals like yourselves.

Prospective authors and/or editors in Citizendium are asked to use their real names (anonymous names are not used) and to submit brief professional biographies when they register to participate. Many of the current particpants are university professors and other professionals.

New members may select to be authors or editors (or both) in their fields of expertise. All articles created in the Citizendium encyclopedia are open to be freely read by anyone, but they may only be edited or revised by the registered members. As a result, articles in the Citizendium receive much more expert attention than do articles in Wikipedia.

Articles deemed to be of high quality by the members are denoted as "Approved" articles. Articles which have not yet been approved are considered to be draft articles.

The atmosphere in Citizendium is very much more collegial than in Wikipedia and there simply is none of the vandalism of articles that plagues Wikipedia where anyone is allowed to revise articles. The primary emphasis in Citizendium is to collaborate in the development and review of articles by discussion rather than by unilaterally making significant revisions.

Visit us and look at the Chemical Engineering articles at http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Category:Chemical_Engineering_Subgroup. We need more engineering authors as well as more engineering editors to provide expert guidance in developing new articles and improving some of the current articles.

Please consider joining Citizendium, if only to check out the atmosphere. If you join us, your work will be respected because our community will have confidence in your expertise.

We look forward to seeing you on Citizendium ... and we need your help!!

If you are retired and looking for a way to give back some of your knowledge and experience, Citizendium is a wonderful way to do so.

Regards, Milton Beychok

Sandbox notice

As a fellow Chemical Engineer, I want to offer you a warm welcome! Please visit the Category:Chemical Engineering Subgroup to see all of the Chemical Engineering articles that we already have. I am going to take the libery of making you a member of that subgroup. If you need any help at any time, please contact me on my Talk page at here.

I have also taken the liberty of creating a personal sandbox page for you. To access your sandbox, just click on the link labeled My sandbox in the upper, left-hand corner of your User page. Once you get there, you can click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and you can:

• Practice writing articles in the Wiki markup language.
• If you already know the Wiki markup language, you can draft any articles you want to write and keep changing them until you are completely satisfied with them ... and then you can create a new article by cutting and pasting the sandbox article into the new one.
• You can invite other Citizens to visit your sandbox, review a prospective article that you wrote in sandbox, and ask for their comments/critique before you proceed to cut and paste it into a new article.

Don't know what the Wiki markup language is? Click ==>CZ:How to edit an article    Another excellent way to learn the Wiki markup coding is to click on the "Edit" tab at the top of any article and see how the markup coding was used there.

Enjoy! Milton Beychok 18:56, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
