User talk:Ryan Ickert
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. If you wish, just ask me to create a "personal sandbox" for you where you can test out editing and writing articles. If you need help to get going, it is a good idea to join our discussion forums. That's where we discuss policy, proposals or technical problems. You can ask any constable 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 you begin actively editing and contributing to Citizendium. Milton Beychok 00:32, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
A warm personal welcome
Ryan, I just want to express my personal welcome to you and I very much hope that you will enjoy editing and writing articles in Citizendium. As an editor, it would be very helpful if you expanded the brief biography on your user page quite a bit. We look upon Earth Sciences editors as experts who guide authors in writing articles for the Earth Sciences workgroup. A much more extensive biography will help others to get acquainted with you and convince them that you are indeed an expert.
Best regards and enjoy! --- Milton Beychok 00:36, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
