User:Qcomplex5/boxes/UBX/random/jo


Offensive and pornographic userbox. Not in use by any one except the creator. The Banner talk 11:33, 5 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete. From WP:UBX: "A userbox (commonly abbreviated as UBX) is a small colored box .... designed to appear only on a Wikipedian's user page as a communicative notice about the user, in order to directly (or even indirectly) help Wikipedians collaborate more effectively on articles." I don't feel this box is going to serve any purpose in improving collaboration. This particular userbox is hidden away and does not appear directly on the editor's user page and I'm alive to the strictures of WP:NOTCENSORED. However the Manual of Style has this section on offensive images says this: "However, images that can be considered offensive should not be included unless they are treated in an encyclopedic manner. Material that would be considered vulgar or obscene by typical Wikipedia readers should be used if and only if its omission would cause the article to be less informative, relevant, or accurate, and no equally suitable alternative is available. ". I don't feel that these userboxes treat are using the images in an encyclopaedic way. While I do think many readers would be offended in the unlikely event that they discovered them, I don't think the encyclopaedia would in any way be adversely affected if they were deleted.

 * Delete The function of these userboxes is socially detrimental, especially in a project dedicated to building an Encyclopaedia, where users are expected to work with their minds. Also the user subpage links to File:Citroën DS 21 Pallas (1).jpg which is linked to Citroën DS and Citroën, two pages of combined total readership of about 29,000 views per month, so it is conceivably visible to a good number of readers who would click the host user subpage at: User:Qcomplex5/boxes/UBX/random which is linked to the image. In fact the host user subpage has about 130 views per month even if we subtract the recent spike of 114. Over the past 90 days grok gives above 500 views for this user subpage.
