[edit] Message from Tommer 312

Hi, I don't know if you remeber but you changed my userbox from (en-sco) to (en-gb-sco), a userbox that you created. Though it seems very clever may I point out that the userbox looks exactly the same and therefore I personaly see little point in it.

More importantly I find it extremely rude and improper that you edited my userpage. It is my job to edit it, not yours. It is my page, not yours. Please ask me before you do so in future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommer312 (talk • contribs) 10:08, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Further Message from Tommer312

Taric25, I apologise for my comments against the new userbox (en-gb-sco) before. I had not realised the issue between scottish english and sechellois english. However, I do mantain my views on editing other people's userpages. If you felt it needed to be changed then you could have left me a message explaining (clearly) the situation. I then would have been happy to change it. You changing it of your own accord made me feel invaded and I, again, felt it rude and improper. Thanks. Tommer312 10:17, 6 October 2007 (UTC)Tommer312

First of all, I accept your apology, because I can understand how the situation may have frustrated you without further knowledge of Wikipedia policy. Let me help you out. Per Wikipedia:User page#Ownership and editing of pages in the user space, “Other users may edit pages in your user space” and “In some cases, material that does not somehow further the goals of the project may be removed”. Please understand that having a userbox on your userpage that had an ISO for a different country other than decided by the community's consensus on your userpage did not further the goals of the project, so that is why I removed it by replacing it with the correct one, per policy. In addition, I had to remove it, in order to categorize it propperly, per Wikipedia:Category deletion policy#Speedy criteria and Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Categories.

Also, this is not the first time I have done this. On Wikipedia:WikiProject Deaf, I was responsible for editing over 60 userpages to change {{User ASL}} to {{User ase}}, per the ISO code, a verified, reliable source as well as that WikiProject's consensus. (By the way, I am not Deaf, but I do have many Deaf friends and a near-native understanding of American Sign Language.) To date, I haven't had any Wikipeidans, Deaf or otherwise, comment on why I changed the userbox on their userpages. I hope I've been of some help clearing this up for you. Cheers!
