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!

Thanks-from the USA!

As we have said on the CZ:Notice_Board (April 1, 2007), thanks for fixing that article. Everybody appreciates it. Nancy Sculerati 09:15, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

You're welcome! For those coming in late who are as puzzled as I was, you have to read back to March 29th on the notice board, where United States of America was pointed out as an example of an article that didn't have a workgroup. Lesson for everyone: watch the notice board! You, too, can be a winner! Petréa Mitchell 21:52, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

John Logie Baird

Deaar Petréa Mitchell: Please change your erroneous tags on the article John Logie Baird. There have been substantial changes, and considerable thought has gone into the current and future iterations of this article. I am not a fan of these tags, but if they must be placed, at least let them be accurate, lest an important step forward end up being deleted or misrecognized. I would change them myself, but don't have a grasp of (or really an interest in) figuring out how to use them, but if you could change the tag to reflect the substantial changes, I'd be grateful.

That kind of talk can only lead to tutorials. Continued your talk page... Petréa Mitchell 20:50, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Petréa -- thanks so much -- I think I am getting the hang of it! Russell Potter

Untagging articles

Hi Petréa,

Just a quick note -- I noticed this with a couple of articles I've worked on, and it might be the case with some others you're untagging as "Live" -- please have a look at the article's history page, as in some cases a fair amount of work has been done, although not instantly detectable by a quick visual glance at the CZ and WP versions. In other cases, even though it appears that the article has been ported directly from WP, you might need to double-check, as in at least one instance I know of (The Frozen Deep) there are articles which *started* on CZ, and were then ported to WP, so that the WP looks the same because it was copied from the CZ, not vice-versa. Thanks!! Russell Potter 13:23, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
