Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well.

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 user or the editors 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 Citizendium_Pilot:Discipline_Workgroups.You can always ask me on my talk page or others about how to proceed or any other question you might have.

subpages new look

Hi Kim, just to let you know what is in the pipe line. I changed the format of your new article Barnardius zonarius to the subpages look. I think this has a lot of potential to develop articles in a way that was not possible in wikipedia. You can read more at CZ:Subpages Chris Day (talk) 15:14, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

status

Kim, welcome, I recognize your name from wikipedia. I placed your author status on your user page, but have you considered applying for editor status? You surely must be qualified and we sure could use you! Follow the links to find out how to become an editor. --Matt Innis (Talk) 17:19, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Matt, see the conversation here. Chris Day (talk) 17:37, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Ahh, never mind ;-) Hey, we need very informed authors, too! I'll be glad to perform the constable portion of the approval process if you need me... --Matt Innis (Talk) 17:45, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Hmm, interesting idea. Lets get Chris involved here and see if we might incorporate something like this into the ToApprove process so that authors might be able to request editors to look at the article. --Matt Innis (Talk) 09:19, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

not perfect

Hi Kim, It's not perfect, there are too few of us here, but it is growing steadily and surely and changing all the time. This is our project, ours collectively, and what is wrong we can put right. Won't be overnight, but the project will evolve as we stick with it. There are a number of things that need to change, but they will.Gareth Leng 03:22, 24 August 2007 (CDT)

Userboxes

Kim, we aren't going to have userboxes on CZ. Can you explain what you're up to re these Wikipedia-sourced userbox templates? --Larry Sanger 16:35, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

To use around phylogenetic diagrams in biology articles. Kim van der Linde 16:36, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

OK, no problem. Please have a look at CZ:Subpages. Some of the things you're working on might actually be better placed on Tables (Catalogs) subpages. --Larry Sanger 16:41, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

Barnardius zonarius

Hi Kim. I placed an announcement at CZ:Approval Announcements to see if an editor in the house felt they could move it forward. This may just be one of those things where time and numbers is an issue for now. It also has an image now. I did find a nice map specifically dotting their numbers on the Oz mainland, that might be a nice addition. Also, am I correct to assume that you wrote that article at WP?  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 17:32, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

If you have a map, it can be added to the Taxobox which would be ideal. It would be a good example article for a specific species in the tree of life. And yes, I wrote most of the WP article, which was a big mess before. Kim van der Linde 17:58, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
