[edit] g'day and Li Ka Shing

First off, a proper welcome:

Welcome!

Hello Dragon i, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! 

Secondly, I've replied to your email, so you'll have an answer to the "Mao or mild-mannered businessman" there. Thanks for contacting me about that – not many new users would have thought to. By the way, while I'm throwing boilerplate text around with unseemly abandon:

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 17:18, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Berkshire Hathaway references

Hi -- can you add any references or sources for the comments that you added in Berkshire Hathaway about Buffett's hands-off management style? I looked in the Berkshire Hathaway FAQ and didn't see anything there in a quick reading that would help. Thanks -- Tim Pierce 17:25, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
