My first edit as a registered editor was on October 11, 2006. Prior to that I was an unregistered editor, though sparsely.
What does "5Q5" mean? Nothing profound. Looking back, I was probably thinking of aUnited States five-dollar bill with two fives on each side and "Q" referring to the race of superbeings onStar Trek called theQ.

Step by Step Instructions - Archiving a Talk Page (Common Cut-and-Paste to Subpage Method)[edit]
Example: the address for the Psychokinesis Talk page ishttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Psychokinesis. The address segment you would want to create and copy is Talk:Psychokinesis/Archive_1 (If you are doing Archive 2 or Archive 3 , etc., you would number it accordingly.)
Example of the edit page forEditing Talk:Psychokinesis/Archive 1 and how the archive page looks:Talk:Psychokinesis/Archive_1 Example of the edit page forEditing Talk:Psychokinesis/Archive 10 and how the archive page looks:Talk:Psychokinesis/Archive_10
{{archives|auto=yes|search=yes|}}Here is how the archive source code looks at the top of the currentTalk:Psyckokinesis editing page. Note how the archive template is placed under any other templates. {{talkheader}}{{WikiProject Paranormal|class=start}}{{Rational Skepticism|class=B|importance=mid}}{{controversial3}}{{archives|auto=yes|search=yes}}17. Enter: "Archive 1 created." or similar note, along with any other comments in the bottom edit summary box. I usually put:ARCHIVED - Creation of Talk:[article's name]/Archive 1."
