Archive

This page is way too long. I propose we archive it frequently using Werdnabot. I'd say any comments over a month should be archived. Any objections? --The Dark Side 20:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Emeril userbox

I like this box; what does everyone think? --tennisman sign here! 22:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Userbox expressing love for subtitles

Hello,

it is okay for me to propose an idea like this for a userbox, right?

Well, if so, I think it would be nice to have a userbox that says "This user prefers subtitles" or "This user prefers subbing over dubbing".

Not only am I horrible at typing in the code of Wikipedia, I can't think of a better text (a bit more humorous?) and maybe there should be a nice little picture too. But what kind of (unlicensed?) picture? Evilbu 21:07, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

wat bout that?-- ExpImp^talkcon 21:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I had the same idea, before I found this page. I made one that looks like this:

A "set" might be:

• prefer subs over dubs
• prefer dubs over subs
• no preference

And maybe others like subs only/dubs only for the very opinionated?

--Cartoonmaster 00:11, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... It probably would make sense to cross out what you don't like...

Sex Pistols

I kind of made a Sex Pistols box, but it probably needs some work. Help? Geobeedude 00:53, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

A "not everyone is Irish" userbox

I've not quite worked out userboxes yet. Can someone construct the following?:

• Image: Shamrock covered by a question mark
• Text: This user does not think that everyone in the English-speaking world is Irish

Thanks. Delsource (talk) 14:40, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

My temporary solution....  ;o)

Yes yes, I know, a bit naughty but not malicious. Delsource (talk) 20:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

How about some comic strip boxes?

Can I suggest some comic strip user boxes? Below is a list that I would like to see. I could create text-only ones. But I would appreciate if someone could provide some GDFL or free images that suggest each strip (or as many as possible). We can't use fair use images due to limitations of the licensing. (See rule #9.)

Monty Python

Maby things like "This user graduated from the Ministry of Silly Walks" or "This user knows how not to be seen". Timebender13 02:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Live Music

Looking over the music-related infoboxes, I couldn't find any that simply advocate mention live music. I tried to make one with flashy colors to suggest a laser light show as seen in the pics below, but I'm not completely thrilled with what I came up with. Ideally, it would have a nifty picture of some laser lights in the id box instead of "LM". Anyone want to help or make suggestions for colors/pics? -Tobogganoggin ^talk 02:02, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

or simply...

OK, here's a shot at it:

I should probably also add that I don't know if using that image for a userbox is prohibited or not. What licenses, if any, allow images to be used in userboxes? -Tobogganoggin ^talk 02:53, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

The images are free under the GNU Free Documentation License. That means you can copy, distribute and/or modify the images. --The Dark Side 03:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up - I guess I'm going to call it finished! -Tobogganoggin ^talk 17:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Tattoos?

I've yet to see any tattoo userboxes out there. Do any exist? If not, could someone with more skill then myself design one? Many thanks! Paulbkirk 14:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

"Blond" userbox"

Can someone in this area make a userbox that says something like "This user is a blond..."? Just wondering, because I already have one, but it's very bland as I made it myself; I don't yet know how to make good userboxes. Thanks.--- EnglishEfternamn ^talk_contribs 02:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I find the text a bit lacking, so if you can come up with something better just let me know. Actually, since you requested it, just tell me of any changes you want done.

--The Dark Side 02:57, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Make the template colour blue, and I'll be in your debt. Thanks.-- EnglishEfternamn ^talk_contribs 02:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Any better? --The Dark Side 03:34, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks a lot!-- EnglishEfternamn ^talk_contribs 17:09, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Gameshow userbox

Not, not me personally, but I think that there should be a "This user was on the gameshow:__" userbox. Or just "This person was on a gameshow"--Codell^«T» 04:05, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll personally pass on those, but might go for a "This user is a fan of gameshow". Will (Talk - contribs) 04:17, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
