[edit] New users log
Hi there, and welcome to Wikipedia! I read your message on the new users log - yes, you are correct, those pages need quite a bit of work before they are up to standard. Those articles tend to be less frequented than others, and probably is the main reason why they are not as authoritative as they should be. We are in need of people with your expertise, so feel free to jump right in and begin editing. You may find Wikipedia:List of WikiProjects of interest to you - a WikiProject is generally more cohesive sub-community on Wikipedia where editors gather and focus on editing a particular topic. I hope you'll be able to find something of your interest, and if you have any further questions, please feel free to drop by my talk page. See you around the Wiki! --HappyCamper 18:56, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- I've looked at your edit history, and it seems you made a stop at Investment bank. I'm not familiar with the topic, but I've added the {{verify}} and {{cleanup}} tags to the page - hopefully someone will come by and do some fixups. It may take some time before this happens, but adding these tags increases their visibility in various subpages of Wikipedia, and notify other editors of the need to review the article. Thanks again for your detailed feedback. --HappyCamper 19:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

- In this edit, your concerns about spelling on talk pages has been addressed. A long time ago, Wikipedia used to have a built in spellchecker, but it was removed because it took up too much computing resources for the servers to handle. --HappyCamper 19:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
