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 Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events 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 have fun!

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.

Have fun and Happy editing!

Diffusion of innovations

Hello Jim, Good to see that you are hard at work[1]! I need you to do me a favor, though, and add The Article Checklist to your new article. It goes on the discussion page and needs to be filled out according to the instructions. If you have any trouble, just stop by my talk page. Also, don't forget to check into CZ:Article mechanics to assure that you can get the speedydelete template taken off your page. Thanks! --Matt Innis (Talk) 18:55, 20 June 2007 (CDT)

Jim, I'm not sure if you knew this, but if you use 4 tildes ~~~~ (top left on the keyboard) the wiki will automatically add your name and date. Use this only on the discussion pages, though. --Matt Innis (Talk) 10:11, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

Images

Jim, let me help you upload images correctly. Basically, when you go to Special:Upload, you will see a template that you copy and paste into the window at the page. That tells you just what you need to fill in. When you get a few moments, can you fix the images you uploaded? Just click on My contributions on the top right to re-trace your steps. At the least, you just need to fill in copyright/licensing data and the author. Thanks, Stephen Ewen 21:40, 29 June 2007 (CDT)
