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.

Welcome!

I'm also a Military Editor, certainly with an interest in military and international law. My Unitarian minister is, in fact, a former criminal defense attorney; just today, we were discussing the article, lawfare, as a possible adult education topic; I'm presenting on torture and intelligence interrogation]], as objectively as possible, on November 17th. You may also want to look at extrajudicial detention, intelligence interrogation, U.S. and international extradition, all of which are top- or near-top level articles with extensively linked articles; look at the Related Articles subpage.

One of the things I like about CZ is while it is not a place for advocacy, it is a place where the facts about politicomilitary issues can be presented, as a hopefully useful alternative to mass media. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:58, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
