Perhaps we could move away from issues of deletion and being "allowed" to have userboxes, and more asking userboxes advocates to appreciate the dim view that others take of their behaviour. That is, let's assume you're allowed to keep any userbox you like. Under what circumstances would you concede that exercising that right is not in the interests of the community and the project as a whole?

So someone who is the fan of a football club is not allowed to have a userbox saying so.
Deleting all the userboxes is totally disproportionate to any actual harm. Just petty.

Have the particular changes to which you refer scrolled down beloew my local horizon?
No. The nature and quantity of the edits visible in the history are simply intended to demonstrate that football is a ready source of factionalism. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
