User talk:Bossel

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, ! 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:


 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article

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 Pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) 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 01:01, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome (& help), Ryan!

For the time being, I probably won't be able to actually edit or write articles. I simply joined because I wanted to start a discussion about an article which I didn't find convincing & I didn't want to write anonymously. Maybe later I'll find the time to add something according to my areas of knowledge.

But anyway, nice to be welcome. Thanks again! Sincerely, bossel 02:31, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
