I ask as I am aware of the fair use thing, and while I think that it sucks (for stylistic reasons), it is necessary and something we all have to live with.
1.Yes if they release it under GFDL or CC (or PD) 2.Yes if they release it under GFDL or CC (or PD). with premission is not acceptable
- Some userboxes are humorous in nature ({{user ubx-5}} is an
example), and they should be deleted for the greater image of userboxing (Did I say anything that remotely make sense?). I don't particularly care if someone is a native speaker of bullshit ({{User en-B-N}}), 1337 ({{User 1337-N}}) or gibberish ({{User gb-N}}). They can all go to the bit bucket.
133t 534|<3r'5 have thier uses.
- Please, for the love of <insert religious figure here>, delete
redundant crap userboxes like {{User Earthling}}.
- Some userboxes are irrelevant to the nature of Wikipedia. I don't
care whether someone's favorite color is yellow ({{User yellow}}) or not. It doesn't help me work with other Wikipedia contributors in making better articles. They should be deleted.
Doesn't really hinder you either.
- However, userboxes may be good for building communities. We should
keep all of them that are "good" in nature, like the Babel ones, ones that split users by location, ones that denote RC patrol, admins, the ones that denote expertise in academic fields, etc.
List user tell you who the admins are.
- The userbox fad, if left unchecked, may infect other stuff too...
such as a userbox for "this IP is blocked", "this user is blocked", "this user has requested that the page be protected from movement", etc.
