My (only) userbox

I think this one sums up my opinions on the matter nicely. --humblefool® 21:59, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Ghost towns

Here ya go . .

Or this for those of you who thought . . .

I'm not very good at teh code but here's whta I've come up with:

Just a simple one that I thought was a feat worth mentioning. By the way, the pic is free. H-BOMB 12:28, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Zebra Finch userbox

I LOVE my little zebra finches, but sadly, the only userboxes for bird owners are cockatiels and parrots. I don't even think they have parakeets. I am new to userboxes, so can someone make a userbox that says "This user is proud to own Zebra Finches", and use this=====>

as the image?

How about this: {{User:UBX/zebrafinch}} I didn't know what colors to use, so just let me know if you'd like different ones. —Mira 21:34, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Nice picture, but it's too hard to make out in the userbox. Axeman89 04:55, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

True. I've tried a pars pro toto Approach, it's only a sketch (to be found {{here)}}:

This user is proud to own Zebra Finches.

Me personally, I'd go for a user box with only one picture, and I'd take the one showing the tail (as its pattern is the essence of the bird, isn't it?) or a section of the wing (this looks great, like an abstract painting: . Colours of the rest of the box (fonts, backgrounds, lines) are then to be adjusted according to the dominant colours of the icon. The userbox doesn't need to show everything as long as it makes people interested in Zebra finches.This could be made into a beautiful user box if you don't insist on showing the whole bird. Nouly 02:36, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Chappelle's Show Userbox

There should definately be a Chappelle's Show userbox. It should probably say "This user thinks he's Rick James, bitch." or something similar with the initials "CS" in the box. The colors could also be red and black with white lettering. I'm horrible at making userboxes, otherwise I'd make it myself. This is my attempt at it:

Yeah, that's pretty bad...Doodoobutter 21:20, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I fixed it so the text actually shows up and I changed the link to the chappelles show page instead of the list of skits. I don't know if you like it or not. - Vozz 21:11, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey thanks! That's really good...but I think that "Rick James" should lead to the sketch since "CS" already leads to the Chappelle's Show page Doodoobutter 14:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the first one was funnier.BrainiacOutcast 00:03, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Here's my fixed userbox:

Hope everyone likes it... Doodoobutter 17:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Try this for all-white lettering:

Andrew Levine 22:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Here's my final final one...

Junior State of America Userbox

I would use a userbox with the Junior State of America logo + text embossed, such as "This user is a member of the Junior State of America" or something. Pat Nosker 03:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

The use of any copyrighted logo in a template violated fair use policy and will be deleted. Only logos in the public domain/free-to-use may be used in userboxes. DJR (T) 23:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok, what about "JSA" In red text on the left? Pat Nosker 03:45, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Attempt at JSA Userbox:

If this is OK, could it be made official?Pat Nosker 03:53, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

There's no "official" status granted to userboxes. By creating the code, you've made it about as official as it's going to get. —Mira 07:03, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

The words "JSA" are really hard to read. If you're going to have it link, then I would suggest changing the color to something different..because links are always blue(as far as I know) 75.5.44.182 23:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

DXing Userbox

This userbox is for users interested in DXing.

Animaniacs Userbox

It's one of the greatest animated shows of all time. Here's my idea for an Animaniacs userbox...

I think I did a pretty good job this time...Doodoobutter 00:16, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but you can't use fair use images anywhere other than articles. You'll have to find a non-fair use image or some form of text to use instead. —Mira 05:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks...do you happen to know where I could find an Animaniacs picture that's in the public domain, though? I don't think there is any (I've loooked), but just in case... Doodoobutter 17:32, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't know, myself, and I also think it's unlikely that there are any. —Mira 20:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks anyway, but here's my new Animaniacs userbox:

Metroid Prime Hunters

Someone should do a box saying "This user plays Metroid Prime Hunters on-line. Friend code is XXXX XXXX XXXX"

Do you have any images?--Mac Lover ^Talk 03:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Maybe we could make ones like that for all Nintendo Wi-fi games. -- ~PinkDeoxys~ 20:48, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I wish I knew how to make userboxes with variable text.--Mac Lover ^Talk_C 21:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Geofiction

Here's a userbox that could be made for lovers of geofiction:

I've created it at {{User:Gray Porpoise/Userboxes/User geofiction}}. --Gray Porpoise 19:27, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Quizilla Userbox

Under Wikipedia:Userboxes/Computing, this userbox could be added for members of Quizilla:

--Gray Porpoise 20:22, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Created at {{User:Gray Porpoise/Userboxes/User quizilla}}. --Gray Porpoise 19:31, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

User is Sick

is this ok?

Killswitch Engage

It should be "This user is sick...", you forgot to add an "is."

There. --Penguinofhonor 22:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Body Modification

I noticed that there are no body-modification userboxes, and I just couldn't let that go. Once I find proper images, I will do userboxes for scarification, corsetry, tooth art, and dermal implants.

Quotations

There's nothing more that people want when they have a nice quotation:

Userbox_add_request

Hi, user nathanrdotcom recently got into a big fight with the admins, and a userbox that he created for me under his user space was deleted as well. Is there anyway that someone can just formalize this user box for me rather than using the "german user box solution"? If there is no way to formalize the submission, please someone, just add this for me in their space. Thanks! Also, please start the category by almater thing for RCSI as well. Thanks you so much!

Can someone check the coding? I copied the format from another box, and want to make sure I tweaked all the variables correctly.

There's probably some policy against this, but here it is:

zatch bell

I really like Zatch Bell, and I thought if these userboxes could be of any use. I think these would go under Wikipedia:Userboxes/Anime I don't know any images that are legal to put on these userboxes, and then again I wouldn't know how. So instead of the character pictures, I've put their spell names. Thank you. Kyo cat 00:16, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes Zaker! This user's mamodo child is Zatch Bell. Gigano Reis! This user's mamodo child is Brago. Giga La Seoshi! This user's mamodo child is Tia, or Tia the Tomboy.

Could you make one for Tia? -- ~PinkDeoxys~ 00:28, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Sure, I'll make one for Tia. But it won't have her picture, only the name of her spell, like the others. Hmm.. what were her spells again? :o Ah, well, I'll make one. And one for dear Kanchome as well! I just hope it's not boring for you. Thanks for the idea! And just so you know, I've already made a code thing for the userboxes up there in my userspace. {{User:Kyo cat/Brago}} and {{User:Kyo cat/Zatch Bell mamodo}} Kyo cat 01:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

There it is. How do you like it? {{User:Kyo cat/Tia mamodo}} Kyo cat 01:32, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Hispanic American Userbox?

I'm surprised none exists as of yet. I'm an American of predominantly Mexican and Spanish extraction and I would love to acknowledge my Latina-ness via userbox. I'm a huge fan of userboxes and try to get every single one I can, but this one, which is one of the first ones I'd have snapped up, has yet to exist. So, how about it, those of you who are more adept at creating userboxes than I am? (Krushsister 02:42, 14 October 2006 (UTC))

Enjoys American and Association Football Userbox

Hm, I just think this would be a good idea, since i like many others (i hope) enjoy both american and association football and perfer to call each 'football'. Jonathan 15:22, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

The Sopranos

I wanna make a bunch of Sopranos boxes. Is there an easier way than the template I am using below? And once I get the cotent written for it, how does it become a simple command for everyone to use? Like those where you just put User Sopranos within brackets and the box appears? Wesleymullins 12:57, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I may have missed this in the food section, but I wanted to post it anyway:

Metroid Prime User

I'm quite proud of this userbox. I made it because there is an existing userbox in the gallery here for users who play the Metroid series, but none for Metroid Prime series users. I don't know how to post a userbox in the gallery, or if I'm even allowed, being the lowly newb that I am. Respond. BeefJeaunt 07:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Asian History interests

Why aren't there any userboxes for history in Asian countries? Can someone whip up some? I'm working on a Japan one since I've got some nice photos of Japan I can edit. Tiakalla 08:39, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Hallo! Hey, maybe I can help you out! I think I can make some userboxes on Asian History, if you provide the photos. I just need to know what kind of Asian history and/or what to put in the userbox! And glad to see you're using my tia userbox on your userpage! ¡Adios! er... Sayonara! Kyo cat 01:19, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I've only been to Japan, so I don't have any photos for other countries, although I suppose I could trim another one for a general Asian history pic. Though Wiki's probably got some icons of various countries that are free-use that could be used. And you're welcome, Tia's my nickname so gotta show my support. :) Tiakalla 06:26, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Represent Your High School!!!

I've noticed some high school students here and there on Wikipedia, and just like some colleges have their own userboxes, why can't high schools have their own as well? Students who go to colleges feel like they "belong" to the college that they are a student of, and high school students feel the same way about their high schools. This one is for my high school, but I don't know the code for light blue, so for right now I have to use dark blue. If anyone can tell me it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't believe you're allowed to use those images in them, as they're fair-use, not free-license or what have you. You could try just making the boxes color-themed to their outfits instead. Having said that, I'll pick up one or two when they're fixed. Tiakalla 06:26, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

ALF userbox

With all the different userboxes out there for TV shows, I was almost insulted to find none for my favourite sitcom. So, I've decided to make one myself:

As well, a category of "Wikipedians who like ALF" should be made if there is enough interest, and said category could then be attached to the userbox by someone who knows the proper code. Keith Davies Lehwald 15:53, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

This Hour Has 22 Minutes

Here's another idea, this one for This Hour Has 22 Minutes (the Royal Canadian Air Farce has one, so why not 22 Minutes?):
