User talk:John Foster

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.

Welcome

John, please note that the bottom of your user page has tags to the effect that you are a User and Editor in the Physics and the Geography Workgroups. As we have already discussed via email, you are free to add addition User tags for any other Workgroups that you desire. Simply go to the Edit page of your User page and add additional tags like those for Physics and Geography.

Please read the above blue bar "Talk Page Etiquette" and sign your comments and/or responses as indicated, namely by simply typing Milton Beychok 15:53, 11 May 2010 (UTC) (4 tildes).

Have fun! Milton Beychok 15:53, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Milton, for getting me off to a good start! John Foster 21:09, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

John, I noted that you trimmed your User page. It would be nice if you expanded it a bit ... at least what country you are in, your education and what you are interested in. After all, the User page is your introduction to people with whom you will be collaborating.

Just to let you know, if you would prefer a different "look" for the Citizendium pages, there are number of "skins" (i.e., choices on how the pages look). Click on the "Preferences" at the top of this page (or any other page), then click on "skin" and you will find 9 choices, each of which you can preview before making a selection. My favorite is "Monobook". Whatever you select, can always be changed later, if you wish. Milton Beychok 21:23, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
