Category talk:Knights of Columbus

Wikibox
Can we work to get a better wikibox for the KOC Members? The color scheme doesn't represent anything remotely close to the Knights of Columbus colors, and one could easily fit their emblem of the order into the left section... —Preceding unsigned comment added by ContagiousTruth (talk • contribs)
 * The emblem of the order is a registered trademark of the Supreme Council. Using it in a userbox does not meet the guidelines of fair use for logos. If you want to change the colors, be bold. I'd also suggest this discussion should take place at Template:User kofc, and that the userbox should not appear on this category page. Gentgeen 20:29, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

User-box does not belong
The KofC user-box should not appear on this category page. Under the avoid self references guideline, a user-box in a category designed for articles should be avoided. Gentgeen 02:15, 2 May 2006 (UTC) This is exactly self-referential. We are putting a userbox, which is used to by the authors and editors of the content of the encyclopedia to self-identify, into a category, which is used to organize the content of the encylopedia for the readers in a meaningful way. We are inserting the editors into the content. One of the reasons I put this userbox into my user page is so that other editors will know I am a member of this orginization, and therefore may not be the best person to write about it with a NPOV. I don't particularly want anyone looking for information about the Knights of Columbus to end up at my user page. SK Gentgeen, PGK, 10:58, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Is it really self-referential? It seems to me that people looking at this page might want to know who on wikipedia is part of that community. Who best to wrok on those pages than those familiar with the KofC? --evrik 13:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
