Hi Koen, you can call me Matt. Everyone is pretty much on a first name basis here.

To get yourself ready to start an article, take a look at [[CZ:How to start a new article]] and you can choose the way you would like to work. As for getting the article to the approval stage, take a look at how the approval process works here, [[CZ:Approval Process]]. If you've already written an article, your are halfway there, but you will need other editors (not just authors) to approve your work (you can't approve your own work).

Most of us use the recent changes link to keep track of what everyone else is doing, but take a look at others user pages and you will see some templates that you canuse to keep track of what you are doing.

Welcome!
Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start. 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! D. Matt Innis 09:01, 17 June 2008 (CDT)

Hi Koen, you can call me Matt. Everyone is pretty much on a first name basis here.

Keep in mind that not all of them are active, so feel free to contact them by email or on their talk pages. To get yourself ready to start an article, take a look at CZ:How to start a new article and you can choose the way you would like to work. As for getting the article to the approval stage, take a look at how the approval process works here, CZ:Approval Process. If you've already written an article, your are halfway there, but you will need other editors (not just authors) to approve your work (you can't approve your own work). Once you've read the links, it should make more sense. All of these links are to the left of all the pages (plus several more).
