Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start, and see Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. 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 user or the editors for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! David Tribe 07:35, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

Hi Richard

I was looking over what you've been up to on the wiki and thought I'd drop by and suggest you give CZ:Article_Mechanics a going over, to perhaps prod things along in that direction. Cheers, Stephen Ewen 01:08, 4 December 2007 (CST)

Hi Stephen

Thanks a lot for the very useful lead. Having initiated the Aspartame stub, I'm pleased to have "boldly" dumped a big heap of very important information, which some of us can carve into a decent, useful article. A lot of lengthly quotations have to be reduced to one-liners, and much has to be summarized.

I will be interested to see if competent others share my view that the 1496 archived posts in aspartameNM@yahoogroups.com qualify as the best trustworthy source for information about aspartame, especially its toxicity issues. Two posts are citations in the Wikipedia Aspartame Controversy article.

Is the Aspartame stub already open to the public, or only to registered Citizendiums? In mutual service, Rich Murray

The article is completely viewable to the public. As for sources, that is going to be the decision of probably Chemistry editors. Stephen Ewen 23:09, 4 December 2007 (CST)

Thanks, I didn't know that it was open to the public already. In the next two weeks I'll be editing it more to Citizendium standards, and remove any direct quotes that have the slightest chance of being problematic re copyright. Rich Murray 13:21, 5 December 2007 (MST)
