Help
Can you help me set up my user page? I have no idea about what I can put there. Paquito490 (talk) 05:39, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * You can add a short description of yourself or add some userboxes. For more intricate designs see user page design center. For what not to add see WP:UPNOT and for further information see User pages. To start the user page just type anything. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 08:16, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * So basically I can put anything on my user page as long as it isn't inappropriate or contains anything listed in WP:UPNOT? Paquito490 (talk) 07:26, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, but please be aware, Wikipedia is not a hosting service. Accounts are for people wanting to help with the encyclopedia. Not just to have a web page somewhere for your own personal use. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 07:34, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Got it. I am here to help this encyclopedia. I am aware that Wikipedia is not a hosting service. Thank you for reminding me though. Sometimes we can forget and we can go against the rules without knowing. Paquito490 (talk) 01:47, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, enjoy editing [[Image:Teeth.png|20px]]. No need to leave me talkbacks I have your page on my watchlist. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 04:55, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I hope you enjoy editing as well. I also want to wish you a happy new year. Hope you enjoy it. Paquito490 (talk) 21:23, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Have a good new year also. As I said no need for talkbacks I have your page on my watchlist and a little advice for the future when you do send a user a talkback don't send them 3 on the same topic just change the timestamp and add the edit summary bump like this. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 02:53, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the advice. The reason I actually put "Talkback" templates on your talk page everytime I reply, is because I like quick responses. I know you added my page to your watchlist. I just like getting faster responses. I don't know how frequently you monitor my page through your watchlist so I prefer using talkbacks to speed it up a little. Paquito490 (talk) 05:10, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Users mayn't always be online so may not respond quickly regardless of talkback. ☮ &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 05:16, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
 * True. I actually forgot about "users mayn't always be online." Yes you're right. Thank you for the reminder. Paquito490 (talk) 19:48, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I need help on something else. I'm trying to create my archive page. Could you tell me how I can do this? I wanted to create my archive page for January but I can't access it. Paquito490 (talk) 03:17, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, do you want a bot to archive (after a specific amount of time) or do it yourself manually? &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 03:26, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Do it myself manually. Paquito490 (talk) 03:48, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry was busy there, now most people don't have a separate User talk:Paquito490/Archives page they have an archivebox on their talk page and first archive would be User talk:Paquito490/Archive 1 which can displayed as January in your archivebox if you wish. Also you a Talk header above which has archive yes, so you have to make your mind up do you want an archivebox or a talk header with an archive. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 04:59, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I started Archive 1 so you can see what the talk header archive above looks like see Archives: 1 above ↑↑. Now do you want that format or do you want an archive box like mine see my talk page. The archive box can be made collapsible and made suit your dates. PS the archivebox you used here is more commonly used with the bot. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 05:21, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I want the talk header archive format. It seems better than the other to me. Paquito490 (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Well in that case it's done you had it set up properly, but it wouldn't appear as you didn't have any archives pages before such as archive 1. If you have no need for this page you can have it deleted if you tag it with  without the no wiki code bit. &#9733;&#9734;  DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 23:02, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. If I need help on anything can I write it here and you'll read it here? Paquito490 (talk) 00:52, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * No problem, if you need further help just post here and I'll help you. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 01:06, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay. Thanks for your help. Have a good one. Paquito490 (talk) 23:36, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Creating my userpage: Help
Can anybody tell me where to find a list of userboxes? I don't know which ones are available. Paquito490 (talk) 00:50, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Paquito, I already linked the userbox page above but here it is again Userboxes. You might find the template Template:WP:UBS easier to navigate and find what your looking for. Good luck &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 00:58, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the late reply- I've been busy lately. Yes I will try the new link you provided. I already tried searching for userboxes here but I didn't see any there. I will try this other link you gave me and see if I have any luck. Paquito490 (talk) 01:01, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay. I successfully found some userboxes using the second link you gave me. Thank you for the link. Please check out my user page. Give me your opinion on it. Paquito490 (talk) 01:21, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Ultimately the aesthetics of your user page isn't my concern, but Babel is intended for language userboxes. If you were intending to add nationality userboxes see England and Spain and simply copy the code on the left hand side of the page. If you have any further questions please ask at the help desk or at Teahouse as due to time commitments I can no longer help you unfortunately. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 02:50, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
 * That's too bad. Oh well. That would be all. Never knew that you had time commitments. Paquito490 (talk) 00:18, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * We're all volunteers here at Wikipedia so we can only dedicate so much time to Wikipedia due to our real life commitments, that's what I meant. I'm sure you'll find users helpful at the locations I suggested above if you need further assistance. If anything urgent pops up you can always send me a message on my talk page.

Help:Archiving
How do I archive stuff on my talk page? Paquito490 (talk) 23:23, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Paquiteo490. You've got two main options:
 * Manual archiving - less complicated, but more onerous: when you want to free up your page, create a new page called User talk:Paquito490/Archive 1 (or Archive 2, 3 etc.) and copy-and-paste the old messages into it.
 * Automated archiving - slightly more complex, but far less trouble in the long run: add the code  to the top of your talkpage. This will instruct a bot to create archives for any messages over 15 days old.
 * In either case, adding to the top of your talkpage will give you one-click access to your archived messages. For full instructions, have a read of Help:Archiving a talk page. Yunshui  雲 &zwj; 水  10:24, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Cool. Thank you for your help. I'll go ahead and do the archiving myself. I'll see if it is convenient. Paquito490 (talk) 18:51, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
