User talk:Melissa Newman

Welcome!

Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start. 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! Hayford Peirce 16:41, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

You are the mjn on the forum? If so, interesting points you bring up, welcome. As a starting point i think you will find the subpage concept to your liking (CZ:Subpages), especially the one called CZ:Student Level. We have not started to develop these pages yet but i think you will find this is exactly what you are hoping will become more developed in the future. Also, each article has metadata and that can be viewed by clicking the small M button at the top right of each talk page. Let me know if you have other questions, it can be a little confusing around here since we are always evolving but we are starting to become a little more settled as the model develops.

Melissa, I just want to let you know that I answered many of the questions that you raised in the Forums. It takes a while to learn how CZ works and I hope my answers in the Forums will help you. Regards, Milton Beychok 09:43, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
