'''Welcome to the ''Citizendium!'''''  We hope you will contribute [[CZ:Be Bold|boldly]] and well. Here are pointers for a [[CZ:Quick Start|quick start]].  You'll probably want to know [[CZ:The Author Role|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 [https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list] (do join!) and [http://blog.citizendium.org the blog].  Please also join the [[CZ:Mailing lists|workgroup mailing list(s)]] that concern your particular interests.  You can test out [[CZ:How to edit an article|editing]] in the [[CZ:Sandbox|sandbox]] if you'd like.  If you need help to get going, the [http://forum.citizendium.org/ forums] is one option.  That's also where we discuss policy and proposals.  You can ask any [[:Category:CZ Constables|constable]] for help, too.  Me, for instance!  Just put a note on their "talk" page.  Again, welcome and have fun! [[User:Roger Lohmann|Roger Lohmann]] 17:53, 14 February 2010 (UTC)


:Welcome once more, Thomas! I saw the note you left for Roger and think that [[CZ:Introduction to CZ for Wikipedians]] may be a good place to start exploring the differences to Wikipedia. In case of further questions, you can usually ask anyone you see on Recent Changes. Cheers, --[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 01:09, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

::::Thanks Daniel!--[[User:Thomas Wright Sulcer|Thomas Wright Sulcer]] 12:41, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Thomas -- have you looked at the talk pages of http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ_Talk:Experiences_at_Citizendium and http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Areas_for_reform?  Please do.  Thanks! [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 21:49, 28 April 2010 (UTC)


:::I'm not at all familiar with Wikipedia operationally, so I really can't answer, but Daniel's suggestion of starting with the Introduction to CZ for Wikipedians is a good one. [[User:Roger Lohmann|Roger Lohmann]] 03:51, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Thomas, Hi! I noticed your work on [[NoSQL]] and appreciate it very much. I do hope you don't leave the project. It's a wiki, people are bound to disagree sometimes; it will work out (or so I hope).[[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] 20:51, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
::::: Regarding your question on importing an article. If the article - as you write - is (almost) entirely written by you, it can be imported without WP credit, but you should leave an explaining note on the talk page. You can also import it first to a Sandbox of your user page, and later move it to its intended place. --[[User:Peter Schmitt|Peter Schmitt]] 12:59, 15 February 2010 (UTC)


:::::: Thanks Peter!--[[User:Thomas Wright Sulcer|Thomas Wright Sulcer]] 13:00, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello. So within a span of just 8 months you made significant contributions to 50~ articles? That's impressive. ([[User:Chunbum Park|Chunbum Park]] 18:08, 17 February 2010 (UTC))
When so-called "constables" continue to take sides in editorial disputes, it undermines the entire community. My comments on the talk page of [[Four color theorem]] were deleted by constables siding with a contributor who continues to criticize my work as "average", ridden with "minor errors", of only "magazine quality". What's needed is a fair arbitration process. Until then, I'm not contributing here any more.--[[User:Thomas Wright Sulcer|Thomas Wright Sulcer]] 03:54, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't think so. I'm glad to know you are an alumnus of U of R. The campus is nice, the professors are very demanding and competent, and food is tolerable at worst and usually quite decent. ([[User:Chunbum Park|Chunbum Park]] 18:44, 17 February 2010 (UTC))
== re wiki-converting project ==


:When I was there, somebody had painted an elaborate, accurate large-sized (5'x10') dollar bill in one of the hallways. Is it still there? My dog used to swim in the Genesee River. My senior year they completed the Wilson Commons and the new building was a joy to be inside; but by now the structure is probably showing its age, right?--[[User:Thomas Wright Sulcer|Thomas Wright Sulcer]] 18:48, 17 February 2010 (UTC)


:Also my friend Terry Gurnett is the head of women's soccer at U of R. I wrote a Wikipedia article about him. He's won over 400 games.--[[User:Thomas Wright Sulcer|Thomas Wright Sulcer]] 18:49, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Thomas, are you administering the wiki-converting project, and if so, are you receiving submissions?  &mdash;[[User:Anthony.Sebastian|Anthony.Sebastian]] 15:39, 8 October 2010 (UTC)


::I don't think the dollar bill drawing is stilla round. Wilson Commons is still quite nice. I don't notice anything about it that's old. I'm sure there are more students of foreign and minority origin than when you were here. A phenomenon I've been noticing is that a lot of Asian students hang around by themselves and don't even associate much with their hallmates. I'm one of few Asians who mix in well.

==[[Latin (language)]]==
Hi Thomas, while looking over the articles in [[Category:Classics Workgroup]] I noticed that there were two articles which had overlapping scopes: [[Latin language]] and [[Latin (language)]]. The latter one was started by yourself and I thought you should know that I've redirected it to the other article. I copied over one of the paragraphs, while the material on which languages descend from Latin was already present. [[User:Richard Nevell|Richard Nevell]] 14:23, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Citizendium suffers from a lack of an arbitration process

When so-called "constables" continue to take sides in editorial disputes, it undermines the entire community. My comments on the talk page of Four color theorem were deleted by constables siding with a contributor who continues to criticize my work as "average", ridden with "minor errors", of only "magazine quality". What's needed is a fair arbitration process. Until then, I'm not contributing here any more.--Thomas Wright Sulcer 03:54, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

re wiki-converting project

Thomas, are you administering the wiki-converting project, and if so, are you receiving submissions? —Anthony.Sebastian 15:39, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

What's this Wiki-converting project?--Thomas Wright Sulcer 16:14, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Latin (language)

Hi Thomas, while looking over the articles in I noticed that there were two articles which had overlapping scopes: Latin language and Latin (language). The latter one was started by yourself and I thought you should know that I've redirected it to the other article. I copied over one of the paragraphs, while the material on which languages descend from Latin was already present. Richard Nevell 14:23, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
