User talk:Karl D. Schubert
Welcome!
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 for other helpful introductory pages. It is essential for you as an editor to join the Citizendium-Editors (broadcast) mailing list in order to stay abreast of editor-related issues, as well as the mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. It is also important, for project-wide matters, to join the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list. 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 thank you! We appreciate your willingness to share your expertise, and we hope to see your edits on Recent changes soon. David E.

You now have a personal sandbox
As a fellow engineer, I want to offer you a warm welcome! Please click on ==> Category: Engineering Workgroup to see all of the engineering articles that we already have. If you need any help at any time, please contact me on my Talk page at here.
I have also taken the liberty of creating a personal sandbox page for you. To access your sandbox, just click on the blue link labeled My sandbox in the upper, left-hand corner of your User page. Once you get there, you can click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and you can:
- Practice writing articles in the Wiki markup language.
- If you already know the Wiki markup language, you can draft any articles you want to write and keep changing them until you are completely satisfied with them ... and then you can create a new article by cutting and pasting the sandbox article into the new one.
- You can invite other Citizens to visit your sandbox, review a prospective article that you wrote in sandbox, and ask for their comments/critique before you proceed to cut and paste it into a new article.
Don't know what the Wiki markup language is? Click ==>CZ:How to edit an article Another excellent way to learn the Wiki markup coding is to click on the "Edit" tab at the top of any article and see how the markup coding was used there.
Enjoy! Milton Beychok 18:32, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Asking for comments on new article
Karl, I have just completed a new article about "Natural gas" in my sandbox. I would appreciate it if you were to review it and offer your comments on my sandbox Discussion page. My sandbox can be viewed by clicking ==> here where it will be for the next few days before I load it in as a regular article. Regards, Milton Beychok 23:01, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
- Milton, I'd be pleased to do so.... Thanks. Karl D. Schubert 02:47, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- The article has now been published by moving it into the article namespace and it will be shortly removed from my sandbox. You can now offer your comments at Natural gas. Regards, Milton Beychok 22:32, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments and I have responded as well as implemented some of your suggestions. See the article's Talk page. Regards, Milton Beychok 16:19, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
