[edit] Dick Userbox
Hi Cool Cat, would you consider removing the following from your userpage?
'''[[Image:Richard Cheney 2005 official portrait.jpg|45px]]''' | style="font-size: 8pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em;" | This user supports '''circumcision''' of '''[[m:Dick|dicks]]''' on '''[[Wikipedia]]'''.
See Jimbo's request. Thanks, Gchriss 18:09, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- If you have a problem with my userpage and addressing others about it before asking me I will of course decline you request.
- Furthermore I see no evidence of comments by Jimbo regarding my userpage. --Cool CatTalk|@ 18:20, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
I haven't asked anyone else but you, Cool Cat. I should have stated Jimbo's appeal, located at the top of his talk page:
"I wonder if you might consider simply removing your political/religious/etc. userboxes and asking others to do the same."
Thanks, Gchriss 19:32, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- Oh I see... The userbox is neither political nor religious. It is simply a self expresion. I dont like people who act like dicks on wikipedia. I am merely quoting a wikipedia guideline. --Cool CatTalk|@ 19:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
I think the policy is fine (except for perhaps a name change), but the first impression I had of your userpage is that you think Dick Cheney acts like a dick. Perhaps not what you intended, but some people can become touchy over politics. I will leave this to your decision. Thanks, Gchriss 19:57, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- His name is "Dick", I did not give him his name :P. I enjoy mocking famous/powerful people from time to time. Makes me feel
