How do I create and use a archive on my talk page?


 * Also what template should be placed on a users talk page when the user is not vandalizing but is just being disruptive? Andrew Wiggin (talk) 10:16, 25 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Archiving: You can do it manually by creating archive pages, like User talk:A Wiggin13/Archive 1, and moving old sections. Or you can set up automatic archiving using MiszaBot (a bot, there are others, but this is the one I use). Instructions can be found here.
 * Warning messages: A list of templates can be found here. -- Patchy1 10:44, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Another note on warning messages, Twinkle is a great tool for warning users, among other things. -- Patchy1 10:46, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, forgot to add this to original reply, WP:ARCHIVE has more useful info. -- Patchy1 10:48, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * This is the code I use at the top of my talk-page ...

{{pre|
 * {{User:MiszaBot/config
 * |archiveheader = {{talk archive}}{{archive-nav|%(counter)d}}
 * |maxarchivesize = 70K |counter = 2 |algo = old(30d)
 * |archive = User talk:A_Wiggin13/Archive %(counter)d
 * {{User:HBC Archive Indexerbot/OptIn|target=User_talk:A_Wiggin13/Archive_Index
 * |mask=User_talk:A_Wiggin13/Archive_<#>
 * |leading_zeros=0|indexhere=no|template=}}
 * {{archive box|auto=yes|search=yes | index= /Archive_Index}}
 * }}
 * {{archive box|auto=yes|search=yes | index= /Archive_Index}}
 * }}
 * }}

I realize that this user made several mistakes, but I am willing to work with him towards helping him understand the wiki better and perhaps making it so he can be of use to the wiki. I understand and was TRYING to work with him before the block, but now that the situation is where it is, if he is willing, perhaps we can work something out with him? I firmly believe in second chances. Lets see if we can give him one? Andrew Wiggin (talk) 22:52, 12 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Do you copy this message? Andrew Wiggin (talk) 23:25, 12 February 2013 (UTC)


 * As any other editor he can request an unblock using the unblock template mentioned in the actual block template. Note that this is something the blocked user must do himself or herself. Since blocks are not intended as a punishment but rather as a means to prevent further damage an unblock request should demonstrate that the user understands why the block was there in the first place. If that is not the case the same problem may occur right after an unblock - and that isn't a good situation for either party.


 * As for the edits - Wikipedia is not a soapbox one can use to list all forms of criticism in regards to some topic. Criticism is only added to an article if this viewpoint is substantially large and backed by a substantial amount of reliable sourcing. There is no need to add a separate header for a BBB rating in the middle of an company article - let alone on every article remotely related to that company. It is even debatable if this is information that should be added at all in the first place - is there any encyclopedic relevance for this rating for this particular company?

 * I agree, however a think a partial unblock with restricted rights, and I am willing to try adopting him even though I am rather new myself... I would say we put him through Adoption testing and if he understands how wikipedia works and passes testing he can be fully unblocked? If thats not a fair way to do this IDK what is... No effort on anyone here but me and him. Hows that for a plan? Andrew Wiggin (talk) 23:32, 12 February 2013 (UTC)


 * There isn't really such a thing as restricted rights. What someone might want to consider is an unblock on condition that the editor does not add any material about BBB ratings (or similar) anywhere on Wikipedia - basically a topic ban. If they're here as a good faith contributor it shouldn't be hard for them to find other things to edit about. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:42, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello A Wiggin13. May I call you Andrew? You might recall that I was one of the science reference-desk volunteers who responded to your  thread. I have since noticed that at 01:05 on 12 February 2013 (UTC) without providing an edit summary to explain your action. Normally, we do not delete or blank discussions in this manner&mdash;see talk page guidelines and/or using talk pages. Such blanking denies many of the other editors&mdash;of whom  are considered active&mdash;easy access to potentially useful information and in any case, does not remove the information from Wikipedia. Every one of every editors previous edits (with minor exceptions) are for ever recorded; all your edits, for example, are here. I was wondering why you blanked that thread? -- Senra (talk) 15:17, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I blanked the thread after being accused if Trolling. I did not appreciate that nor was it useful to me keeping a thread that was just generating dislike towards me, so I blanked it. Andrew Wiggin (talk) 15:20, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I was curious because I am personally interested in that thread but fair enough. For the record, I could find no evidence of anyone accusing you of trolling. As far as I can see, every respondent was most definitely assuming good faith towards you. It is true that some editors expressed mild concern; some even did so in a facetious manner. I myself wondered aloud (in ) whether or not you should be attending a cooking course. This was meant as, I am sure you can see, an irreverent aside. Good luck with your overclocking and please do let me know how you get on -- Senra (talk) 15:34, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * If your interested in what I am doing, feel free to talk to me about it here! I don't have a problem with that... However I don't think putting it back on the science page is a good idea, ok? Andrew Wiggin (talk) 17:31, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Great.


 * The facts appear to be that you are attempting to over-clock a (many options from 1xQuad- to 2xDuodecim-Intel Xeon cores). You are currently . Your application is CAD and  "When it comes to CAD stuff every GHZ you can milk out of the processor can save 2 hours of rendering time". At present,.


 * I won't directly disagree with your "every GHz" assertion, as my recent experience is with 3D graphics (i.e. Lightwave, Blender and Autodesk Maya), where "every GHz" does indeed count when rendering complex 3D animations. I have historically used 2D CAD packages (e.g. CADAM and AutoCAD) and never found the need to over-clock. If you really wish to extreme clock in the way you are doing you must not let the water boil. There are different ways of doing that. The theory behind what you are doing is given in the heat pump and refrigeration cycle article. You are moving heat (using a pump or pumps) from your CPU to the room via a cooling tower (radiator). To maintain the CPU within its specified temperature range the radiator must be efficient enough to cool the hot flow from the CPU (you can make the radiator more efficient by forcing cooler air past it); there must be enough liquid in the system to carry away heat and the (pump) flow-rate past the CPU must be fast enough to keep the CPU at the desired temperature. There will be a safe temperature within the specified range - perhaps about 50&deg;C? Check the Intel specs. If your present cooling system set-up is inadequate, which at >100&deg;C it does appear to be, consider investing in vapor-compression refrigeration.


 * My belief is that all of the answers you need are contained within  article. For example,  but putting his response into my words: is whatever batch-renderer you are using designed for multiple cores and is the batch-renderer configured correctly for that many cores? If you are still intent on over-clocking, read up on calculating the efficiency of your entire system. For example: watercooling guide.

Article Feedback deployment
Hey A Wiggin13; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:52, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Question
Hi Andrew,

You helped me before with the name on Asa Butterfield's wiki page. I am wondering how much proof I need to find before his name can be changed to Asa Bopp Farr Butterfield because this is the name the appears on his Verified Twitter account and I am pretty certain that it is his real name because his mum says that it is in his passport?? My old username was (Mike123)Thanks again --Bus123 (talk) 11:45, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
