Welcome, Wikipedians and ex-Wikipedians!

This page will introduce some "dos and don'ts" of the Citizendium that Wikipedians in particular may have to bear in mind. You should also read about the really big differences between the Citizendium and Wikipedia, and also about how to convert Wikipedia articles to Citizendium articles.

Notes, not finished

Behave in a professional manner; we actually take our Professionalism policy seriously. This means, among other things, that personal attacks are not allowed here. Such attacks may be replaced with our {{civil}} template, which reads:

Text here was removed by the Constabulary on grounds of civility. (The author may replace this template with an edited version of the original remarks.)

Moreover, if you have any complaints to make about other users, no matter how well justified, please don't make them on the wiki. They will (or should, anyway) be removed by constables and replaced with the {{nocomplaints}} template, which reads:

A comment here was deleted by The Constabulary on grounds of making complaints about fellow Citizens. If you have a complaint about the behavior of another Citizen, e-mail constables@citizendium.org. It is contrary to Citizendium policy to air your complaints on the wiki. See also CZ:Professionalism.

Notice that we aren't putting contributor-oriented templates, such as Wikipedia's neutrality templates.
