Is there a reason there is no "Alpha" Article, but instead an "Alpha (letter)"? It would seem better to have an "Alpha" article, and an "Alpha (letter)" to describe the cases where the greek letter is used. -- Egil 13:41 Apr 15, 2003 (UTC)

- It might be that way, to exploit the "pipe trick". This link -- alpha -- displays as alpha but links to the "alpha (letter)" article. --Uncle Ed 14:29 Apr 15, 2003 (UTC)
Is alpha really used as a symbol for direct proportionality in mathematics? So far as I know, what is used is a symbol which looks like an elongated alpha, but is not in fact a Greek letter.
Alpha is a cool name. By the way I think it is, it says on certain websites. Thomas Bell, widnes Tom Jo:)
