User talk:Peter Jackson

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! Larry Sanger 17:18, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Response to your question about the Piquet article on Daniel Mietchen's Talk page

Peter: I posted a response (that I hope is helpful) to your question about the status of Piquet on User talk:Daniel Mietchen. Best regards, Milton Beychok 17:43, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Me too. And if you ar not sure about the metadata, take a look at CZ:Article structure or ask again. --Daniel Mietchen 19:12, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Buddhism/Religion Articles

Hey Peter--

Welcome to Citizendium. I'm glad to see someone else has popped up here who is interested in improving our religion articles (as well as-- to infer from your Pali Text Society articles-- a fellow Sanskritist). Our Buddhism stuff, in particular, is in a parlous state. Feel free to make whatever changes you like to the Buddhism article. I put out a similar request for comments a little while ago (on the Buddhism article in particular), and I have not heard anything back. I believe the outline on the Buddhism pages is mine, so please feel free to remove or switch it around. (I do like David Volk's comment on the forum to start off with modern practice, though.)

As you can probably tell, our religion articles need all the help they can get. Feel free to make changes or comments on Hinduism, Ashram system, Bhagavad Gita, Vedas, Yoga, Buddha, Upanishad (which should probably be moved to Upaniṣad or Upaniṣads, come to think of it), as well as whatever Christian stuff you feel like doing: Christianity, Nicene Creed, Papacy, Augustine of Hippo, Authors of the Bible, New Testament/Old Tesament, Pope John Paul II, Reformation/Reformed churches/Reformed theology. If my presumption about Sanskrit was right, please have a look at the article. The time may even be right to get something started on Pali. Don't get overwhelmed, of course; any contributions you could make would be great.

Take care, Brian P. Long 23:21, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Peter. Welcome aboard!—Nat Krause 15:43, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Euclid's elements

Hi Peter, why don't you update Euclid's elements? I made an Ansatz of this article a while ago, but I'm sure you can improve it.--Paul Wormer 10:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

No there is no policy, but since Euclid's elements already exists, I would think that your energy would be better spent on that article. Now there is some duplication which is wasteful and makes it harder to find one's way in CZ.--Paul Wormer 11:20, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Keep up the good works on Euclid's elements! Regards --Paul Wormer 16:48, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
