- Lower-case article titles.
- Place
[[Category:CZ Live]]on new articles, but not articles that that you've copied from Wikipedia and have not yet worked on. See the definition. - Place {{subpages}} at the tops of new articles, and fill out the corresponding template. Also put the appropriate category of an article; for example,
[[Category:Philosophy Workgroup]]. Here is the list of workgroups. - Check the "Content is from Wikipedia?" box, just above "Save page", if you are copying something from Wikipedia.
- Wikipedians should know that we aren't Wikipedia. We have many different policies.
- Subscribe to Citizendium-L (everyone), and Citizendium-Editors (editors). These are announcement lists.
