Welcome to Citizendium (also known as CZ)!!! We are happy to have you in the community. I would like to introduce you to Citizendium's Workgroups and encourage you to--

    1. Join a workgroup if you haven't already and
    2. Help us add workgroup category tags to articles, especially any articles you create
    3. Help us spread the word about workgroups within the CZ community

What are workgroups? To answer that question, I'd like to give you a quick tour.

  • Start by checking the various workgroups we have at CZ: List of Workgroups (In the future this link can be found in the left navigation-bar In the 2nd box "Project Pages," 3rd link in that box.
  • For the purposes of this tour, please take a look at the Biology Workgroup Home: CZ:Biology_Workgroup. The Workgroup Home(s) can be found in the 2nd column in the List of Workgroups.
  • The Workgroup Home format has not been completely standardized and if you have imput on how they can be improved please add that to the talk page.
  • Take a look at the first table on the Biology Workgroup Home. In the 2nd column, find the link that says, "all articles," which lists all articles that users have tagged [[Category:Biology Workgroup]]. Category tags should be added at the bottom of articles.
  • Next, check out the "recent changes" link underneath the "all articles" in the 2nd column in the top table. This lists all recent changes in articles that have been tagged [[Category:Biology Workgroup]].

To add yourself to a workgroup, use the form [[Category:Education Authors|Smith, Bob]], etc., and add it to your user page. Substitute the proper work group for "Education" in the example, and your name-Last, First for the names in the example. Only CZ staff should add "Editors" to user pages, please. To apply to become an editor, please see Editor Application Review Procedure.

To add a workgroup category tag to an article, use the form [[Category:Education Workgroup]] at the bottom of the article. Substitute in the proper workgroup for "Education" in the example.

Some of us like to write, and some of us like to categorize. If you need help with either, please ask (I'll help you if I can). But go right ahead and -"do". Nancy Sculerati 06:40, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
