User talk:Brian P. Long
Welcome!
Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. 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! Stephen Ewen 21:40, 6 November 2007 (CST)
Keep the faith
I saw your post on the Ancient Greece talk page and just thought I should tell you your doing a fine job. The trouble is that there are only a few very committed History authors (We lack the numbers the Biology Workgroup can boast, for example) and we tend to work on developing individual articles when we get a chance. Feel free to help out on any of the articles I'm working on, though I haven't been doing much in the Medieval area recently. Regards, Denis Cavanagh 17:56, 9 February 2008 (CST)
Timeline
Do you mean that it's not long enough? If so, you can adjust the height. Do you mean that it sticks out like this: |-? That's on purpose, as I meant to put a block at the top. Does it look entirely wrong all together (for example, the stem is not even next to the lines)? Please take a screenshot; I am unsure what you are describing. --Robert W King 08:24, 10 March 2008 (CDT)
Poll regarding suggested change to Naming Convention proposal
There's been a significant suggestion for a change to the proposed policy. Please look at CZ:Proposals/Naming Conventions for Biographies#Poll regarding suggested change and respond there. Anthony Argyriou 14:05, 12 March 2008 (CDT)
Your policy proposal draft
I agree that we need (eventually) to redraft and clarify our family friendliness policy. Your draft, however, shouldn't be in your user namespace. See CZ:User Pages under "User page rules"; user pages are not meant for such proposals. You could put it in CZ:Proposals, however. --Larry Sanger 10:00, 23 March 2008 (CDT)
