==Welcome!==
'''Welcome to the ''Citizendium!'''''  We hope you will contribute [[CZ:Be Bold|boldly]] and well.  You'll probably want to know [[CZ:The Author Role|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 [https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list] (do join!) and [http://blog.citizendium.org the blog].  Please also join the [[CZ:Mailing lists|workgroup mailing list(s)]] that concern your particular interests.  You can test out [[CZ:How to edit an article|editing]] in the [[CZ:Sandbox|sandbox]] if you'd like.  If you need help to get going, the [http://forum.citizendium.org/ forums] is one option.  That's also where we discuss policy and proposals.  You can ask any [[:Category:CZ Constables|constable]] for help, too.  Me, for instance!  Just put a note on their "talk" page.  Again, welcome and have fun!

== Welcome and thanks ==
 
I'm just spending some time this morning thanking the newer/returned people who did weekend wiki work.  So, thanks, nice to have you here! --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 08:17, 19 November 2007 (CST)
 
== Welcome Back! ==
Welcome back! two items:
# can we make you an editor? CZ policy requires three editors approve history articles and the others have vanished on us so we need your help.
# how can we link CZ with the [http://edit.emich.edu EMU History Wiki] ?? have you seen our Eduzendium project? see http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Citizendium_Press_Releases/Jan242008
We'd love to have your students write CZ articles. [[User:Richard Jensen|Richard Jensen]] 16:18, 18 February 2008 (CST)
:My fear is <!--And I've told Larry this-->that I'd be just another absentee editor.  I'm not here enough to be doing an editor's job.  How dire is the situation?  Are you the only historian/editor? [[User:Russell D. Jones|Russell D. Jones]] 20:55, 18 February 2008 (CST)
::in practice, yes...alas. (N=15 nominally) dire.  But the excitement is to get students to work.  I'm retired but next week will be talking to a VPAA about my teaching a historiography course in which the kids write CZ articles. [[User:Richard Jensen|Richard Jensen]] 23:00, 18 February 2008 (CST)
:::I don't mean to eavesdrop exactly, but Richard, the latter is great news!  I hope you can swing it. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 23:06, 18 February 2008 (CST)
::::Sure, I'll apply.
:::::Hey great! we'll try not to seize your weekends and summer vacations. :) [[User:Richard Jensen|Richard Jensen]] 20:31, 19 February 2008 (CST)
::::::Yes, great, nice to have you on board, Russell! --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 22:00, 19 February 2008 (CST)

== You made my day ==
 
I needed a good chuckle!  [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Talk:Democrat_Party_%28phrase%29/Draft&diff=next&oldid=100542073 Thanks for that!] Lord knows I've been there and got the T-shirt!  [[User:D. Matt Innis|D. Matt Innis]] 00:29, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
:Happy to please. :)  BTW, I had sauteed snowpeas with julianned onion and pepper and two varieties of broccoli over pasta.  I feel much better now.  --[[User:Russell D. Jones|Russell D. Jones]] 01:04, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 
== Approval nomination for [[Grand Trunk Railway]] ==
 
Russell, I responded at [[Talk:Grand Trunk Railway]] to your request that I look at the subject article. Regards, [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 22:17, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 
 
== Charter drafting candidacy ==
 
Hi Russell,
 
Thanks for accepting your nomination to be a candidate for election to the drafting committee for the Citizendium charter.
 
If you'd like, there is a provision in the plan that provides a place for you to compose a position statement.  You are not required to do this in order to be a candidate for election to the committee, but it would be helpful to others during the voting period.  Even if you don't compose a statement before the election period concludes, should you be elected it might be helpful for other members of the committee to know what you feel are the most important issues to address with the draft.  You can find a red link to the page where you can write your statement [[CZ:Charter_drafting_committee/Position_statements|here]], along with instructions for doing so.
 
If you have any questions, just let me know. --[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 15:26, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 
== History of geniuses ==
 
Hi Russell, just stumbled upon [http://www.monad.com/sdg/Journal/genius.html this] and thought it may be of interest to you. --[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 21:16, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
:Heh! In my case, I've never considered it a problem!  [[User:Russell D. Jones|Russell D. Jones]] 21:19, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
