A question about two of your changes to the article "Hitler". Do we mean the region of "The Ukraine" in this article, of the actual country Ukraine? I am not expert on this, but was recently made aware of it in a journal issue I edited, where I had inserted "The" before Ukraine. Apparently, this is a rather sensitive issue, so be sure that your change is correct, please! Many thanks, --[[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 17:55, 28 December 2007 (CST) | |||
::I'm thinking "the Ukraine" is correct in this instance, since we're talking WWII, before the existence of Ukraine as a country. [[User:Randall Bytwerk|Randall Bytwerk]] 18:56, 28 December 2007 (CST) | |||

I recognized your name in the list of history editors as a Calvin Professor, so I thought that I would say "hi." I am a 2004 graduate--though I never took any of your courses. I've just signed onto this Citizendium to see how it works.--[[User:David Boven|David Boven]] 07:50, 16 May 2008 (CDT) | |||

Welcome, new editor! We're very glad you've joined us. Here are pointers for a quick start. Also, when you get a chance, please read The Editor Role. You can look at Getting Started and our help system for other introductory pages. It is also important, for project-wide matters, to join the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list. Announcements are also available via Twitter. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any administrator for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and thank you! We appreciate your willingness to share your expertise, and we hope to see your edits on Recent changes soon. --Larry Sanger 12:27, 2 November 2007 (CDT)
