I'm surprised that a general science userbox doesn't exist yet (or at least isn't listed at the Science userbox gallery). Colour scheme may need work. – Liveste (talk • edits) 04:02, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
These boxes aren't finished as of yet. I'll probably change the colour scheme and some other stuff. Suggestions are more than welcome! (Go to the userboxes discussion page (MathIsBroke and Brackets) to post a suggestion)
having responded to more than a few rangeblock requests on WP:ANI, I though there may be a need for this userbox and associated category. I tried to have it mimic the standard wikipedia admin-related color scheme.

I didn't see my breed among the DogUserboxes, so uploaded a picture of my beautiful Greyhound, named Ploppy, and would appreciate comments and inclusion in the pantheon of userboxes...
I didn't see one like this, so I hashed it together fairly quickly. Updates easily with piping at the end. Feel free to improve. // Chris(complaints)•(contribs) 21:37, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Just a cautionary Note: Please be aware that displaying the Swastika for non-historical or non-documetary puropses may be unlawful in certain countries. I know for certain that users from Germany who display this on their user page (or as a matter of fact on any page they have editing rights on) can be prosecuted under Section 86a of the German penal code (Strafgesetzbuch) [1] unless the use is exempt by Section 86 Subsection 3 (which mainly exempts uses for historical and educational purposes [2]) and can be sentenced to a fine or imprisonment of up to 3 years. Also, personally I strongly disagree with using the swastika just to make a point. Aside form the legal consequences, this symbol is associated with genocide and extreme suffering by many. I think at the very least, a notice should be placed next to this userbox on any page listing it warning users of possible legal ramifications. Alternatively, how about using a different, less controversial image? Maybe a photograph or a silhouette of Hitlers face, which should be recognized and associated with naziism almost universally. --Funkysapien (talk) 01:23, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
"...displaying the Swastika... may be unlawful..." The thing is, I am pretty sure you're actually serious. What a world we live in. meinslatalk 11:07, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Let's not violate the NPOV policy. Aside from that, don't forget that a lot of people often make a reductio ad Hitlerum. StaticGull Talk 16:31, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Tupperware userbox
I was wondering if sonmeone could make me a Tupperware userbox please? Saying something like, This user constantly uses Tupperware. Thanks, Katie1971 ( Let's talk!! ) 16:45, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
OH! And perhaps also one that says, This user has been on the German edition of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" Katie1971 ( Let's talk!! ) 16:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I had trouble at first at the bottom userbox, since I can't use non-free images. However, the sigs of the ex-presidents were probably safe enough. the top userbox is safe, since it has a free image (and the quote is based on the P 500 bill found here). —iaNLOPEZ1115 ·TaLKBaCK ·Vandalize it 03:19, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
And I know we're not supposed to cut and paste code, but I don't know how to do this any other way.

This userbox does not add a user to the "WikiProject Physics members" category, but this could be easily changed. Beast of traalTC_ 01:54, 2 August 2008 (UTC)Beast of traal
Usage documentation for these can be found here. I don't want to repeat it, in case I make changes later to them. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 08:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
That's the last of my Toastmasters boxes, for now. (I might later on make boxes for district and international officers, but probably not.) Usage documentation for ((User:Coldacid/Userboxes/Toastmasters AL)) can be found here yet again. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 04:33, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
As a noob, I felt it was important that I wear that badge proudly. Perhaps there are others who might feel the same way? --Mierk (talk) 18:30, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
I've even bothered print screening in-game footage, pasting to Paint, picking the colours best suited and then converting all of them to hexademical format, isn't that brilliant.
For those who like mince pies, here's a userbox. Just add it to your userpage, and you'll be glad you did.
Also, for those who like Christmas, you've got a surprise too. I have created this userbox to keep the spirits alive. Use it, and expect me to come to your house when the time comes! HO! HO! HO! -- MR.KRINGLE(XMAS) 20:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
