Note that you can use your user space for rough drafts and other material. I moved your rough draft page to this location. User:Jeffrey Greer‎/Article Rough Drafts. I'll be intrested to give you some input with the epigenetics article. Welcome to citizendium and if you have any more questions I'll be happy to help out.

Please join us for Biology Week!

Hello Jeffrey,

I am giving you this personal invitation to join us this week for Biology Week!

You're a Citizendium Biology Author and we need authors as much as editors here to get involved. Did you know that there are over 200 biology authors here? Yep!

Please join us on the wiki and add or revise biology articles. Also, please let your friends and colleagues who are biologists, biology students, or naturalists, know about Biology Week and ask them to join us, too. Any way you can help make it an event would be most welcome. Think of it as a Biology Workgroup open house. Let's see if we can kick up activity a notch!

Thanks in advance! --Larry Sanger 13:08, 22 September 2008 (CDT)

The first Biology Week took place here from Sep 22-28, 2008.

A belated welcome!

I'm sorry, I just noticed your user page. With marine and NFPA experience, you might be an excellent person to comment on such things as Safety of Life at Sea and associated articles; I've also done some on assorted maritime topics, now knowing more about commercial fisheries than I would ever have imagined.

Anyway, glad to have you here.

Corpse Plant

Hi Jeffrey,

do you have any plans for Corpse Plant? It looks a bit naked right now, don't you think? --Daniel Mietchen 16:02, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Daniel,
I certainly do have plans. My students will be returning to school within a couple of weeks. A corpse bloomed here at the Houston Museum of Science. I hope to have the page filled in for their reference when they return. I'm sure they will be full of questions. I'm still learning the mechanics of article creation. I actually thought my talk page was a working area.
Thanks, Jeff
(note, in edit mode, how I indented)
You're close on the work area, but Corpse Plant, which really should be Corpse plant with our capitalization conventions, is now in mainspace. To have a work area, you would want to create User: Jeffrey Greer/Corpse plant. Should there be discussion of it, that would be in User talk: Jeffrey Greer/Corpse plant.
You could simply go to Corpse Plant, click on the "move" tab at the top, and move it to User: Jeffrey Greer/Corpse plant. It would probably be wise to go back to Corpse Plant and put in {{speedydelete|Moved to userspace|~~~~}}

Hayford, that's a little misleading. It should be corpse plant except if appearing at the start of a sentence, or otherwise needing initial cap only in a specific context. Howard C. Berkowitz 23:37, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
Hmmm, aren't you talking about it as an *article name*? That's the way I interpreted it. Hayford Peirce 23:43, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
Yes, it will appear as initial cap at the top of its page, but, internally, the article name should start with a lower case for wikilinking. Howard C. Berkowitz 23:53, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
Of course. Hayford Peirce 00:15, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
