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

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 Edit this page 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 τεχ 06:44, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]


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)[reply]
