Did you just join? Want to get started, but don't know how? Well, don't panic![1] Just dive in!

If you're new to the Citizendium fold, we want you to get to work right away. We want it to be as easy as possible, and we don't want you to be intimidated by extremely high standards that either you have, or that you imagine we have!

What is the first thing you should do after you join? While you can do whatever you like (it's a wiki!), we recommend two things:

  1. Start an article. How? Pick a topic. Then think of a good title for an encyclopedia article about that topic. Then go to start article, handily linked on your left--and do it the Easy Way™!
  2. Edit someone else's article. How? ...

We don't actually require notes, but they are nice

  1. With apologies to Douglas Adams.
