Userboxen
I'm working through your request to have your userboxes restored, and I thought I'd drop you a friendly note on User:PatPeter/User adultswimbadshows. There's been some backlash lately against "negative" userboxes (ie "this user doesn't like..." or "this user is against"). You might look at this one and a couple of the others and consider rewording them before someone objects.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  22:03, 16 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Ug, really? I think that was just happening as I left Wikipedia (I am only still around to WikiGnome). Anyway, the ADBS userbox says "should be taken off the air permanently", which is much better than "This user hates " or anything like what the [as] admins have to deal with over on their boards with death threats to some of these shows (I am not kidding). I doubt anyone will really care about that one, but thank you very much once again, as I think I mentioned that I would hope to discuss any possible controversial userboxes with my undeleting admin. Any other userboxes worth mentioning? -PatPeter 04:05, 17 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Personally I don't get really uptight about what people have on their user boxes -- I figure if anyone wants to post something that offends me, I'd rather know right off the bat that they're a jerk (or worse). But I'm also in the minority on this, so I just thought I'd give you a heads up, especially because, as you rightly point out, people do get worked up about their fiction. :) The only one that I had to do a bit of research on is the Reboot Revival box. It was deleted as advertising, I'm guessing because of the external link. I couldn't find anything discouraging external links in user boxes so I restored it, but obviously at least one person had a problem with it. I wouldn't think it's controversial, but I am often surprised about what is controversial.-- Fabrictramp  |  talk to me  15:40, 17 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll just leave it around and deal with it if and when it comes. -PatPeter 06:45, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
