Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start, and see Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. 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!
A few words about workgroups
We are indeed happy to have you in the community. We would also like to introduce you to Citizendium's Workgroups and encourage you to--
- Join a workgroup if you haven't already
- Help us add workgroup category tags to articles, especially any articles you create
- 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. This link can also be found in the left navigation-bar in the 2nd box (Project Pages), 3rd link in that box (Workgroups). The Workgroup Home(s) can be found in the 2nd column in the List of Workgroups.
- For the purposes of this tour, please take a look at the Biology Workgroup Home: CZ:Biology_Workgroup.
- Now let's take a look at the first table on the Biology Workgroup Home (below).
Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata. |

- In the 2nd column, find the link that says, "all articles," which lists all articles that users have placed [[Category:Biology Workgroup]] at the bottom of their articles.
- Now click on 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]]. In one glance, you can view all the changes that happened while you were away! Feel free to click on all the links to get an idea how the information for your workgroup is organized. All these lists are populated by articles that have the categories properly placed at the bottom of their pages.
This completes your virtual-tour of CZ workgroups. I hope you can see the usefulness of having all articles in Citizendium tagged properly with your Workgroup categories. Make sure to add the Workgroup category labels to your new articles. This is an important part of the Approval process.
Be sure to join a workgroup and take part in this opportunity to collaborate with others who have similar interests as you. You can see what others are working on in the Workgroup recent changes and join in! Remember, we want you to be bold in your contributions at Citizendium.
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.
Do not add yourself to the Editors list, only CZ staff add "Editors" to user pages after proper review of applications is completed. 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.

Saludos Alfredo.
The image you uploaded Image:Mrodriguez.jpg contains unverifiable licensing information, and in fact the information available at its source contradicts the license tag you gave it. The site states,

Nothing there indicates anything like the license tag you gave it as viewable at Image:Mrodriguez.jpg.
If you have information that contradicts this statement and that is in line with the license tag you gave it, you must upload it to File:Mrodriguez.jpg/Permission as described at Help:Images#Documenting_free_content_releases_and_images_by_permission.
Kindly let me know your intention upon reading this message. If you need additional help, just ask me on my talk page and I will be more than glad to assist you.

- Everything above goes equally for Image:Rsalinas.jpg. Stephen Ewen 23:07, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
- This is an alternative image you may use. Stephen Ewen 23:10, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
I have deleted both images. If you get permission releases, just let me know and I will happy to undelete them so you can document it. If you need help obtaining usable images, or help obtaining what is needed to use these images, please make a note on the talk page so others can assist you. Stephen Ewen 23:31, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

Greetings again.
The above image additionally needs a permission release, at File:Gruposalinas logo.jpg/Permission. Kindly let me know your intention upon reading this message. Again, If you need help, just ask me on my talk page and I will be more than glad to assist.

- I am going to leave this one for now. Stephen Ewen 23:34, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

Greetings yet again.
I have deleted the image Image:Map_peru.jpg you uploaded because it appears the licensing information you gave is false. Please do not simply Google for images, grab something, and release it under a free license with no evidence whatsoever that the license is correct. The site where that image is archived, in fact, contradicts the GFDL statement. To obtain maps in the public domain, visit the CIA World Fact Book website, e.g., its Peru entry.

New Articles
Hi Alfredo, I noticed that you recently added several new articles about people. Are these from another source such as wikipedia? If so, please make sure to check the box that indicates such. Also, please add CZ:The Article Checklist to the talk pages and perform the cleanup on these articles before someone deletes them. If you would like more information, check out the link that has already been added to your talk page above concerning importing from wikipedia. Thanks Matt Innis (Talk) 13:35, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
Alfredo, you added another article about a person without bringing your other articles up to CZ standards. Please work on those before adding others. You are leaving me no option but to delete your hard work. See CZ:Article Deletion Policy. And check you r email. Matt Innis (Talk) 20:21, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
