 * What relevance to the project or useful editor information is conveyed by these userboxes? None. Its yet another example of the public hysteria engendered by this appalling circus of trial-by-media. Not appropriate. Plutonium27 12:07, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

 * So, is this questioning other "OSUs" existence? Also, The Ohio State University was founded 20 years prior to Oklahoma State University, so a primacy claim fails too.

July 25, 2011 - Proud to be a Pole
Thought about making a user box showing pride for being a Pole (Polish person) :-) Tell me what you think, it's also on my user page :D I can make more, pertaining to a different nationality and so with the flag and colors :-) Just ask! Drewno (talk to me) 12:30, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

I know barely any Dutch, only stuff like "Hallo, mijn naam is Alex" or "Ik ben Pools"... for those who are the same as me :p Drewno (talk to me) 12:49, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * This Userbox is not compliant with the {{Babel} } template: It's (poor indeed) Dutch states the user knows hardly any Dutch. The -0 ending in means no knowledge of the language. So why use it or even introduce it? JanEnEm (talk) 10:37, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

 * OK I admit I'm really picky about usage of the word "brother." That admitted, I don't think one can be a brother of an organization. I mean, one is a human being and the other is a club. I think one can be a member of an organization, a brother of other members, but not a brother of the organization. The words are not synonyms.    ;) RiverStyx23  23:25, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Two userboxes based on User:UBX/better world without dogs. cimanyD (talk) 00:20, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I've changed the userboxes to italicize cats and include "This user does not." at the end.
 * Also, these userboxes would probably be better if they were combined into one template, or even into User:UBX/better world without dogs. For instance, if produced the same thing as the /cat page, and  produced what's on the current /cats page, neither of the other two would be needed. I don't know much about template code, I just copied the code from  User:UBX/better world without dogs, removed the links, and changed the wording. ...Dynamic&#124;cimanyD...

Yet another time indicating userbox, but this one automatically adjusts the time according to Daylight Saving Time depending on your time zone. And there are more options to enhance it in your own way (see the the userbox's documentation).

 * Too large. Awkward layout, lacks borders/partitions. No references or links to give context as to what whipping the hair is and why this user likes it. See WP:User pages for guides as to what is and is not appropriate for userpages. Plutonium27 12:52, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

The dog, cat and bird userboxes they have a total of three params. The first param is The amount of dogs/cats/birds you have. The second one is how many of the total are males and the third is for how many of the total are female. The IRC Server userbox has one param. Which is where you put the irc server that you are usually on, and operates as a link as well. I will in the future add an userbox where you can add how many servers you are on. I also might decide to integrate it into the irc server userbox, see documentation pages on the userboxes pages it will tell you what the params or how to include it on your page. —Clarkcj12 (talk) 18:10, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

This param where I put 1,510 for the number of edits is an example. That there is a param option in there. To find the number of edits you made go to Special:Preferences and in the userbox type the number of edits you have made on WikiPedia.

 * Thanks. That's why I made them in the first place. The grey ones may be more in line with other Wikipedia-related userboxe(s/n) but I figured the black ones would probably a) look better anyway and b) illustrate the blackout point better. --  Skysmurf   (Talk)  08:28, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

 * The second one and the one about chocolate are a bit to personal. They probably won't apply to many people but you. Try just "This owner wants to own an Alaskan Klee Kai dog" and for the chocolate one take out the part about Hershey's. Guyinasuit5517 (talk) 05:29, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The second one should say "a mother who doesn't". And "would love to own" is probably better as well.
 * The third (red on red) and sixth one (blue on brown) have poor color combinations (hard to read).

Here's a new FreeBSD userbox. The first parameter can optionally be used to indicate a specific version.

Another one, inspired on the Highlander franchise. I couldn't find any eligible (free) images from the franchise itself, so I had to use a generic picture of a sword. I'm not entirely happy with it yet, so any feedback is welcome.

Somebody asked for this at Wikipedia talk:Userboxes/Ideas. The user who issued the request has been banned, but because I didn't notice that until after having already created the userbox - and the request itself seems perfectly legitimate - I figured I might just as well post it here anyway.

The word skydiver could possibly be turned into a parameter if enough Wikipedians are interested (feel free to let me know):

 * +1 There is some leeway and there is no such thing as a fixed standard size (although there are plenty of advocates for that), but few people like the very large userboxes. Also,
 * the text
 * field is
 * so narrow
 * that it's
 * not very

 * Don't most of these violate the policy that "Userboxes must not be inflammatory or divisive"? The main Userboxes page also says:
 * "Avoid verbs (often followed by the word "that") which may be used to suggest negative comparison and would thus be potentially divisive, such as:
 * believes, considers, finds, knows, prefers, thinks, wishes.
 * Avoid negative verb phrases which can be potentially divisive, such as:
 * dislikes, despises, hates, loathes
 * Also avoid compound sentences which are positive and negative, such as:
 * This user likes, but does not like ."
 * Also avoid compound sentences which are positive and negative, such as:
 * This user likes, but does not like ."
