I'm a relatively new contributor here so I may not have everything right but I have learned a few things here. The hardest lesson I learned was the exact standards required for uploading photos. All photos uploaded here must show the '''name''' of the photographer. Copyright must be compatible with CZ standards. Also, unless you have written the majority of an article you can not copy and paste a complete article into Citizendium. If you have questions, please contact someone on the Editorial Council or a Constable. I hope this helps and welcome![[User:Mary Ash|Mary Ash]] 04:19, 5 June 2011 (UTC) | I'm a relatively new contributor here so I may not have everything right but I have learned a few things here.

Welcome!
Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start. 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! Anton Sweeney 21:30, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Welcome and some questions
I'm a relatively new contributor here so I may not have everything right but I have learned a few things here. The hardest lesson I learned was the exact standards required for uploading photos. All photos uploaded here must show the name of the photographer. Copyright must be compatible with CZ standards. Also, unless you have written the majority of an article you can not copy and paste a complete article into Citizendium. If you have questions, please contact someone on the Editorial Council or a Constable. I hope this helps and welcome!Mary Ash 04:19, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- You must provide a full verifiable name or the photo can not be used. I know as I learned this lesson through much discussion as I was accustomed to posting photos with less strict photo requirements. Also, photos must be released for use at Citizendium or be in the public domain. Public domain photos and articles are for anything 1923 and before unless the copyright was renewed. Please check with a Constable or a member of the EC to confirm this. I repeat photos must include the full name, date photo was taken, and any other pertinent history.
