[edit] Madonna MySpace

Hello! I do not know anything of /madonnamyspace being anything other than a fan site. /madonna is listed as being "the official madonna myspace page" and Madonna.com links from it. /madonnamyspace has slightly gossipy blogs and also has joined groups, official celeb myspaces don't do that, they're simply there to report information. Also, it has no indicator on the page of being the 'official' page. I would try to stay conservative, seeing as how Wiki should be as professional as possible, I would seriously advocate keeping /madonna as the ONLY MySpace link. Regards...

As far as what /madonnamyspace is reporting, I'd assume they're just copy-catting Madonna.com. PatrickJ83 00:14, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox Entries

Wow, you managed to do something I couldn't work out with that User:Furry thing. Thanks and well done! --Snowflake Sans Crainte 08:13, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Pulsar vectram

User:Pulsar vectram was a sockpuppet of User:19748 created to votestack Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brisbane Grammar School (2nd nomination). 19748 created several fake user pages by copying other people's information, your profile was probably one of a couple that he hijacked. Since neither user's been on for a while, I doubt that you have anything to worry about. But if you don't like having your userpage mirrored at User:Pulsar vectram, an admin could probably get that page deleted for you. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 18:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox deletion

You can delete WP:GUS'd userboxes once transclusion is done via speedy deletion instead of "clogging" up the templates for deletion. There is a specific criteria that allows this for uncontroversial housekeeping (G6). I personally use the following code to speedy delete templates:

{{Db-g6}} Reason: Orphaned due to [[Wikipedia:Userbox migration]], all instances of transclusion moved to new location.

This helps speed up the process. Harryboyles 11:19, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm already using {{db-g6}} (since a few days) for userfied ubx. However, there are some ubx that were up for deletion before or that have transclusion links on protected pages. I thought they might not fall under criteria for speedy deletion. --Bisco 11:26, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about that. It was from about a week ago that I was referring to. Good work by the way :) Harryboyles 11:30, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your image FR for Futurama Userbox.png

I have reverted this image to an earlier version as the red doesn't mix well with the userbox. Thought I'd tell ya. --AAA! (AAAA • AAAAAAAA) 08:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
