From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi Metalloid, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.
Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.
Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 19:21, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question
Hello Metalloid, very nice job on the ferredoxin article, I was like yeah baby, this is nice! But then I edited it too some, because the old version did contain something meaningful in laymen's terms that I could instantly grasp - you may want to override some things in my edit because they might be incorrect. I see you have some very nice edits in the biochem area, but please consider laymen like myself when writing these articles. Also I have a question about "In hydroxylating bacterial dioxygenase systems, they serve as intermediate electron-transfer carriers between reductase flavoproteins and oxygenase [2]." What does the [2] stand for? You may want to be more careful with such things ;) It's always nice to have references, if you have any, if it's not all just accumulated in your head.
