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 and our help system for other introductory pages. It is also important, for project-wide matters, to join the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list. Announcements are also available via Twitter. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any administrator for help, too. 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.

You can find some more information about our collaboration groups if you follow this link CZ:Workgroups.You can always ask me on my talk page or others about how to proceed or any other question you might have.

Kind Regards, Robert Tito |  Talk  20:44, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

editor status

Hello Michael! You'll notice that I removed the editor category from your user page. In order to become a user, you have to apply through personnel@citizedium.org. It is not hard, but there is some extra paperwork;) Please follow the links to find out how. --Matt Innis (Talk) 22:24, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

Yes, Michael, the welcome does say that! But because of the big influx, we had to accept everyone as authors first, otherwise you would have had to wait weeks to get in. Your email should have told you that once you get in, to apply. That way you could start while you wait. The editor process includes more verifying than for authors. There is also the workgroup considerations. Scroll to the bottom of the Statement and see that you have completed step 1 and all that you need to do now is step 2. Sorry if this caused any frustration, we're still working out some of the kinks. We look forward to your help! --Matt Innis (Talk) 23:32, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

Mike, Sorry for this, I used a wrong template to welcome you. You however DO qualify for editor, however we do need you to specifically apply for it, as I indicated in the mail I sent you. Matt Innes is constable as am I - but we more think of ourselves as guides, not lawmen. We welcome new memebers :) and sometimes we mess up. For that I do apologize, I do have to request you to send your cv to personnel@citizendium.org where you will (no doubt) be granted editor-status. Members - not constables - may not change author into editor. I hope this explains some, if not all. Robert Tito |  Talk  11:22, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
