Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. I hope that you like the place and decide to stay.

If you haven't already read the policies and guidelines page, some of the key points are:
 * The Five pillars of Wikipedia:
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia
 * Articles must conform to a neutral point of view
 * Wikipedia is free content, and submissions must not violate the copyright policy
 * Observe Wikiquette and the other rules of engagement
 * Wikipedia doesn't have firm rules
 * The Simplified Ruleset adds:
 * Be bold in making changes
 * Information should be verifiable
 * Provide an Edit summary
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Use the Show preview button
 * There are five official rules which must be followed

Some other useful pages are:
 * How to edit a page
 * The Introduction to Wikipedia
 * The Tutorial
 * The Manual of Style
 * What to do if you see vandalism
 * How to move and merge pages
 * The Village pump and Help desk, for questions about Wikipedia
 * The reference desk, for questions which are not about Wikipedia
 * How to write a great article

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page or via email. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 06:44, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

GA on Gold as an investment
I noticed that you gave Gaai a good article tag on the talk page (only), with only a single line as justification. Also it looks like you have been extensively involved in writing the article. Writing and reviewing the same article should be avoided. Please let me know if I've misinterpreted this, otherwise I'll probably list it at WP:GAR. Please also see WP:WIAGA. My concern is that it looks somewhat POV

 * No problem. It just seemed better than Start, which is what it was listed at. Prestonp 17:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

"Types of gold investors" listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Types of gold investors and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 May 1 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.
