Returning to Citizendium
Your message to inactive users is well worded and very encouraging. I think the link to their contributions is a nice touch. Good job! David Finn 13:25, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. Actually, thanks to you they will see a lot of edits in the 'recent changes' list specific to each workgroup.
