Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. You'll probably want to know how to get started as an author. Just look at CZ:Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events via the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list (do join!) and the blog. Please also join the workgroup mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. 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 have fun! Sarah Tuttle 16:52, 14 November 2007 (CST)
Welcome and thanks
I'm just spending some time this morning thanking the newer/returned people who have been doing work on the wiki lately. So, thanks, nice to have you here! --Larry Sanger 09:39, 17 November 2007 (CST)
Lebanon nominated
Hey Steven, just wanted to drop by and let you know I nominated Lebanon for CZ:Article of the Week. Good work! --Todd Coles 20:29, 1 April 2008 (CDT)
Thanks!Steven Clark Bennett 21:49, 1 April 2008 (CDT)
Arabic
Hey Steven-- There was a discussion going on at the moment at the Talk page for Usama bin Laden. We were trying to figure out the proper way to transliterate his name. Have you done any work with MSA or the Arabic dialects? Thanks, Brian P. Long 15:47, 4 May 2008 (CDT)
Umm...no. I'm afraid I haven't studied Arabic (though I plan to start this fall).Steven Clark Bennett 15:55, 4 May 2008 (CDT)
Collaboration
I'm never sure whether to put replies on your page or mine -- I rather like to have them in one place. My detailed response was on my page, but, basically, let's talk.
Your plans of study are interesting -- the daughter of a friend is going into her senior year of high school, but is very interested in studying Arabic. She's less interested in the culture, which may turn out to be a problem -- although she's also interested in a computer science major, and possibly working on natural language recognition.
