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! Larry Sanger 15:24, 30 November 2007 (CST)

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 16:57, 30 November 2007 (CST)
politeness
It would be polite of you when you reverted my edit about moving the TOC to either give an explanation of your edit or at least a notice on the Summary at the top of the "Save page" button about what you're doing. I think you will find that most CZ articles do NOT have large amounts of white space in them if it can be avoided. Hayford Peirce 13:16, 25 December 2007 (CST)
Hi Hayford, thanks for the tip - this is my first attempt at a CZ article, so i'm a little clueless, and surprised to find other authors contributing to an article already in its first few minutes of creation. Is there someplace i can initially develop and preview my articles before they become visible to other authors? And what is the appropriate forum for this response i am writing now?
