Hi @dmitshur - thanks for the quick turn around! Updated the specified pages with empty alt tags. Let me know if there is anything else needed before submitting.

A few pages on the Go website, Documents, Project, And Help,

From that description, I understand it’s these URLs:

https://golang.org/doc/ - two img.gopher elements are missing alt attribute
https://golang.org/project/ - img.gopher is missing alt attribute
https://golang.org/help/ - img.gopher is missing alt attribute

They are indeed missing alt attribute on the gopher images. Please let us know if I misunderstood, @nel417.
