From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Evilboy! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan. 15:48, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to CD-R

I was intrigued by your edit on the CD-R page. As a logged in WP contributor, I trust you know that what you wrote was right, and I am also not questioning it. But I would be interested, why exactly you shouldn't use a circular motion to clean a CD. Frankly, I have always done that, and I wonder if some irretrievably broken CDs might be attributable to that. I would be interested to see an explanation, maybe even in the article.

Keep up the good work — Mütze 16:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not very sure about the toothpaste and water cleaning being really good anyway. Some CD-Rs (especially those made by Moser Baer India) have no lacquer protecting the reflective layer, so corrosion may happen. --Evilboy 21:12, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Hehe, no, I never used toothpaste either. :-D I was just surprised, that a circular motion was bad for a CD. Why? — Mütze 23:32, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
