User talk:Cesar Tort

Welcome!

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 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 the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list (do join!) and the blog. Please also join the workgroup mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forums is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any constable for help, too. Me, for instance! Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! Hayford Peirce 19:25, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Acronyms

Hi Cesar, Welcome! I noticed that you asked about using acronyms at Citizendium. The answer is to go ahead and spell them out. The purpose is to avoid developing a clique community that makes it difficult for others to become familiar with. This is especially important for our older users (like me) that aren't familiar with the lingo. Here's the policy concerning that question.

Feel free to stop by my talk page if you have any questions. D. Matt Innis 00:21, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. How can I reach your talk page? Also, I have a little lead problem here. Obviously I have to get rid of my wikipedian habits :) --Cesar Tort 15:56, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

You can reach my talk page by clicking on my (blue linked) name and that will bring you to my user page, then click on the word "Discussion" in the top right of the page in the gray area. You should be able to edit the Infanticide lead by clicking on the "edit" in the same gray area of the top right. If you can't see it, let me know, there might be something that I am not aware of... especially if you are using a different browser. D. Matt Innis 00:35, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Actually, neither the "Discussion" nor the "Edit" (lead) are clickable; only the Watch/Unwatch button. Curious... Cesar Tort 12:15, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

It may be that you have not confirmed your email.. your rights would certainly be restricted if you haven't. CHeck this link and let me know. D. Matt Innis 21:18, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I have already confirmed it. Maybe it'll take sometime until those gray words are clickable? Cesar Tort 11:50, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay, as long as you have a message that says "Your e-mail address was authenticated on 'some date in 2009'" then you are confirmed (unless you changed your email address since your first use). You should be able to edit most anything (unless something else is wrong). Let me know. D. Matt Innis 00:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

(undent) I just did it again and got this CZ message:

Confirm e-mail address Your e-mail address has now been confirmed.

Alas, I still cannot edit even my user page. Cesar Tort 12:31, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
