Greetings
Hello Joel. I am also a Chemistry Editor. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Seeing your quotations, I think you will like the one atop my user page here. David E. Volk 19:12, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Some ideas for contributions
Dear Joel, welcome aboard CZ. Milt has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical suggestions on what possibilities you have to contribute. For a start, I just took some of the keywords from the information you supplied upon registration, and display below the current state of related CZ articles (for icon documentation, see Template:Rpl/Doc):
Chemistry [r]: The science of matter, or of the electrical or electrostatical interactions of matter. [e]
Physics [r]: The study of forces and energies in space and time. [e]- Space Shuttle [r]: Add brief definition or description
Los Alamos National Laboratory [r]: A U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory located in Los Alamos, New Mexico and originally the development and construction center of nuclear weapons during the Manhattan Project for use by the United States of America in World War II. [e]- Los Alamos, New Mexico [r]: Add brief definition or description
- New Mexico [r]: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See New Mexico (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
- Textile [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Textile fiber [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Meteorite [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Star dust [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Sigma Xi [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Polymer [r]: A compound of high molecular weight derived either by the addition of many smaller, similar molecules (monomers), or by the condensation of many smaller, similar molecules eliminating water, alcohol, etc. [e]
- Polymerization [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Cellular foam [r]: Add brief definition or description
Graphite [r]: A naturally occurring allotrope of the element carbon. [e]
In order to find articles dealing with similar topics, it's also worth looking at the Related Article subpages of such an article (or the [r]).
In case you are still somewhat involved in homework assignments, please consider doing so via Eduzendium articles.
Looking forward to fruitful collaborative editing, --Daniel Mietchen 16:42, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Welcome, Joel
Joel, welcome to Citizendium. I've been around a while, so if I can help you in any way, don't hesitate to let me know. I look forward to reading your contributions. Anthony.Sebastian 04:14, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Congratulations upon becoming a Chemistry workgroup Editor
Joel, I have just granted you a Chemistry workgroup Editorship. Congratulations and best regards! If you would like me to create those two personal sandboxes for you, please let me know on my Talk page... I will gladly oblige. Milton Beychok 01:48, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- As a new Chemistry editor, you will find it most useful to read:
- Category:Chemistry Workgroup : To see the complete list of existing Chemistry articles.
- CZ:The Editor Role : To learn what being an editor at Citizendium entails.
- If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my user Talk page. Milton Beychok 03:01, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Welcome!
Welcome to Citizendium as a new author! We're very glad you've joined us. We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start. You'll probably also want to know how to get started as an author. Just look at Getting Started for other helpful "startup" pages, and at CZ:Home for a complete listing of help and other community pages. If you wish, just ask me to create a "personal sandbox" for you where you can test out editing and writing articles. If you need help to get going, it is a good idea to join our discussion forums. That's where we discuss policy, proposals or technical problems. You can ask any constable for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and thank you! We appreciate your willingness to share your expertise, and we hope to see you begin actively editing and contributing to Citizendium. Milton Beychok 07:10, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
