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!

Checklist and subpages

Hi Igor. I just wanted to inform you that you can add checklists and (even better) subpages to your articles you started so that these articles will be listed in the relevant workgroup (in this case the Mathematics Workgroup) -- otherwise it will not. You can find instructions on how to add a checklist here and instructions to add subpages can be found here. Subpages are more preferable because, among other reasons, it makes the pages look nicer. Adding a checklist or subpages are not difficult to learn (I think).

As an example, I have helped to add subpages to the approximation theory article. Cheers, --Hendra I. Nurdin 17:23, 24 November 2007 (CST)

Citizendium in Slovene

It's great to see people are interested in it. --Dejan Papež 06:00, 29 December 2007 (CST)

You may read here why I have changed Slovenian to Slovene. All major dictionaries give preference to it. --Dejan Papež 12:29, 29 December 2007 (CST)

River names

Igor, I think you need to include the word "river" in the names of your river articles. Otherwise you will end up with many disambiguation pages need (for example Sora. We would have similar problems with many rivers(Mississipi, Amazon, to name a two) . As a result, we will need to rename a bunch of pages and you will be lost on the history pages. I wrote to the Editors email asking about this. Perhaps you could wait until we hear back from them and save yourself time and effort.David E. Volk 12:10, 4 January 2008 (CST)

David, sincere thanks for this warning. This actually might be a problem since other geographical entities (towns, provinces) and other things are often named after rivers. Please inform me when you get any answer from the Editors. I will wait until I have guidlines regarding naming of articles and then perform renaming, links updating and other housekeeping tasks, as necessary. --Igor Grešovnik 12:32, 4 January 2008 (CST)

So far, I have gotten three responses, including from Larry Sanger, that agree with me on this topic, so please add the word river to all of your river articles. You can just use the "Move" tab on the top right side of your current ones to move the pages.David E. Volk 17:47, 4 January 2008 (CST)

David, thanks for this information. I will now move all the articles on rivers that I've started and then update the links. This shouldn't be too difficult by using What links here for each of the old articles. Redirection pages are created automatically when moving a page. I will also point at this discussiton in the talk pages of river articles (such as here). Igor Grešovnik 11:08, 17 January 2008 (CST)

Thanks for moving all the river names--that was (is) a lot of work! --Larry Sanger 13:03, 17 January 2008 (CST) No problem. I cooked - I ate. Igor Grešovnik 13:06, 17 January 2008 (CST)
