IF YOU ARE HERE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY USERBOX MIGRATION, READ Wikipedia:Userbox migration FIRST! I WILL NOT RESPOND UNLESS YOU HAVE READ THIS.

Important Message from Scepia

Since the UBXs are moved, the edit history is all still intact. So if you really need to know who made it, you can check. But honestly, the way I see it, who cares? I don't think people should be so selfish as to stop the good faith actions of another user, just so they can be self-promoted. Honestly, honestly, we are an encyclopedia, not a popularity contest.

Userbox migrations

Scepia- I have been running RC on the template namespace and have two requests. (1) Please mark your edits minor where possible so that RC patrollers can pay less attention to them. (2) Babel boxes like {{User en}} should not be userfied (see the second point of WP:GUS#German implementation features). BigDT 01:07, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just the point I was coming here to make: Babel/language userboxes are "non-controversial" and thus do not need to be moved. (Particularly one as widely used as the {{User_en}} box.) I'll take it that this was in error, and revert the change.--Leflyman^Talk 01:14, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: I see that you've just done so yourself. Thanks, --Leflyman^Talk 01:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the template talk page back. Cheers. Dina 01:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just one more note: If you have to revert a move, but can't because a soft redirect is in the way, please get admin help instead of copy-and-pasting; that separates edit history from content and is therefore technically a violation of the GFDL. If you need to make an uncontroversial or consensual move, then you can use the {{db-move}} template to request that the target page be deleted by an admin. I've corrected {{user en}} for you; this is just something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks! — TKD::[[User

Puniser fan userbox migration

i see that you migrated the punisher fan userbox to your own userspace, but being the creator of the said userbox, may i kindly know the reason as to why? as im not fully versed in UBX migration policy? †Bloodpack† 02:29, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the prompt reply, but i felt being responsible for the said userbox, i took the liberty of moving it to my own userspace.thanks for the vigilance, ill try to move my created userboxes to my userspace.cheers! †Bloodpack† 03:14, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User Box counting user box

If you are interested, you may wish to add {{User ubx num|7|[[User:Scepia/User Boxes|created or adopted]]}} to your page. Just replace 7 with the number you have actually adopted or created and "User Boxes" with the homepage of your user box collection. I have it on my page with 7.

Userbox Migration

Hey, how's it goin'? I'm not meaning to be rude, or anything, but why must you "host" all of those userboxes? Are you trying to make yourself known, or something? If so, that seems fairly selfish of you, because your moving of those userboxes does nothing but cause difficulty for those that already had the userbx on their user page. Also, it's a lot easier to type {{user whatever}} than it is to type {{User:Scepia/whatever}}. Please take what I've said into consideration next time you are moving a userbox to one of your subpages for selfish reasons.

I agree with Geekler and Bloodpack.YOU are a WikiTroll.It is very selfish.The migration took away some of my userboxes when I typed your "new and improved" code. Yashtulsyan 19:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, the Userboxes are YOURs? I'm sorry, this is a neutral place. No one owns content. I propose moving all of them to User:UserBox. McKay 16:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Userbox Migration yet again

Can you please explain to me why you are migrating all of these userboxes? --ChrisGriswold (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA)

Misunderstanding

Why do you congratulate someone for making unfounded, selfish claims? The truth is that userboxes need to be moved from the template space to the userspace... and yet you agree with him and he is a hero for it. Scepia 01:56, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I am not making him a hero. I just congratulated him for being bold. And I must confess was agreeing with him about typing user is easier than User:Scepia/ (but I did not agree when Geekler went far enough and starting calling you selfish). But that was before I read Wikipedia:Userbox migration. Now I have understood why the userbox migration is continuing, so I do not agree with him now. sign here • HAPPY HOLIDAYS! — s d 3 1 4 1 5 13:44, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User Boxes

Not to be rude or anyhting but I too would like to know why so many userboxes have been moved under your namesake. It causes a lot of trouble and work for anyone who already has them on their userpage.Rearete 00:52, 24 December 2006 (UTC) May I point out that you choose to migrate the userboxes?Yashtulsyan 01:49, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

yes, i worked hard for all of my userboxes to fit and look nice, and now they are plagued by migrated messages. Who gives you authority to mess up our boxes like this? Not to be rude, but there was nothing wrong before, and maybe you could at least change the boxes to thier migrated namesspace if you chose to do so. sc r umshus ^{Talk to me} 20:41, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

STOP TAKING MY USER BOXES!I LOOK FOR THEM VERY HARD AND THEN YOU SCREW THE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW OLD ARE YOU?????????---Masterl auryn 20:49, 24 December 2006 (UTC)masterlauryn[reply]

Re: Userboxes

Sorry if i appeared whining, i just think there are too many to start now. And please don't let this get into a fight okay? I'm just giving you my opinion. sc r umshus ^{Talk to me} 21:53, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

THE ONLY REASON I AM USING CAPS IS CAUSE' I M YELLING AT YOU!!!!!JUST DONT TOUCH MY STUFF , YOU WONT LIKE IF I DID THAT TO YOURS !!!HA!HA!HA!

Did YOU read the Userbox Migration page?

Just because it says "Hey, move all the userbox templates to user spaces instead." doesn't give you the liberty to just put your name out there by moving them all to your own userspace. You didn't even bother to update this page which now conatins over half of the userbox redirects to your userspace. I understand you're trying to help, but you've got to think how many people put time and effort into some of these, and you go and just take it all for yourself. It was a good effort, but next time think before you act. Spike 04:33, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From this page: Sp!ke 05:03, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

there are actually bots that replace the templates ;) hopefully they run soon! Merry Christmas, Scepia 04:52, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, didn't know that. If they don't cycle very soon you're going to have more unhappy people at your doorstep, so be careful. Sp!ke 04:58, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand

I finally do...j@5h+u15y@n

one final note about UBX migration

i understand your point about migrating the userboxes under a userspace, but please consider asking the creators of these userboxes to move it under their userspaces FIRST, before taking drastic actions. if they dont heed then thats the time you move them on your own. i think its called RESPECT. hope you dont run in again with this kind of trouble. cheers and happy new year †Bloodpack† 22:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My KoC Userbox

Listen

I created the KoC userbox under the name of Template:User Kings of chaos when i was new to wikipedia. I later moved it here, and had trouble finding an admin to delete the Template page. If you can find an administrator to do so, leave a comment here. Also, I (no hard feelings) think it was rude to move the userbox to one of your subpages before notifying me.

Kingalex56 T C W U

He moved a userbox from your space to his? That's not userbox migration, that's... that's theft. D•a•r•k•n•e•s•s•L•o•r•d•i•a•n•••CCD••• 20:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you stealing userboxes?

Why are you stealing all of the cvg userboxes? They are not yours. Some people would have worked very hard on their userboxes, and then you come in, steal them, and take credit. Like who are you? A theif? Surrender all those userboxes NOW, or else everyone will get mad at you.

Yes I have read the userbox migration page. Where it says that userboxes could be moved to a userspace, it meant the creator's userspace, and not your userspace. Did it say Scepia's userspace anywhere in that page? No it didn't, so you have no right to go steal people's userboxes for your own enjoyment. Don't think that everyone doesn't care, they do. They don't like to see people crediting you for userboxes that you stole from the original creator. What if someone went over and stole all of YOUR userboxes? How would you feel? Well thats how me and everyone else felt when you stole all of OUR userboxes. Now give them back before you get banned by the Wikipedia admins. THOSE USERBOXES ARE NOT YOURS! Now restore the userboxes to the eternal light of its owner. You better go do that or else everyone is going to report you to the admins of Wikipedia, maybe even Jimbo might get involved in this conflict. This is serious Scepia, don't take userboxes, everyone hates you when you do that. If you want to be well-known and popular on Wikipedia, you have to give back those userboxes to their original owner first. Listen to my advice because you will be banned in the very distant future by the admins if you continue doing stupid actions like this. Seriously, you have to stop this!

UPDATE: Well maybe Jimbo Wales said that all userboxes should be in a userpage but they should be in the creator's userpage, you have no right to damage people's own work without permission. Now STOP this madness before it's too late.

UPDATE 2: Jimbo NEVER said for YOU to put everyone's userbox in YOUR userpage. He said for the CREATOR of the userbox to put the userbox in his or her's userpage. Like I said earlier, you have no right to damage other people's property without permission. Now give everyone THEIR userboxes back so they can put their own userboxes back in the proper spot, which is in their own userspace.

Masky 17:13, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't have a cow, Masky. But I do support you. If he's taking things out of the user namespace to his, I think it's right for anyone to put it back. D•a•r•k•n•e•s•s•L•o•r•d•i•a•n•••CCD••• 20:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The templates aren't yours, remember. Jake the Editor Man _(talk) 21:13, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize. But it do seems you did do it a few posts above to Kingalex56. D•a•r•k•n•e•s•s•L•o•r•d•i•a•n•••CCD••• 20:55, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a wikiproject called WikiProject:Userbox migration to help everyone bring back peace and the real meaning of a "Wikipedian" to Wikipedia. Everyone can join the staff team.

Masky 20:46, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Scepia can join

Scepia, you can join only if you help out in returning the userboxes back to their original owner, which is what the WikiProject is all about.

Masky 21:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get it. Nobody owns anything on Wikipedia? What's with the territorial feelings that so many people are displaying here? -GTBacchus^(talk) 22:44, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well

Then, I see it was in good heart. Happy New Year! D•a•r•k•n•e•s•s•L•o•r•d•i•a•n•••CCD••• 21:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Users need respect

Taken from User_talk:Masky

I'm still trying to find out where information like that is, but don't you think that users that made their own userboxes should have it on their own userpage so not only they will following the new rule for userboxes by Jimbo Wales, but they actually get some credit instead of a userbox theif getting all of the credit for them.

User boxes

"STOP NICKING THE BOXES" Culnacréann 01:02, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a rant, but a suggestion

Can you add [[Category:Wikipedians who need to update their userboxes|{{PAGENAME}}]] to the original userbox page before/after you move it? That way somebody who feels like it can go around updating the moved userboxes. That person will unfortunately not be me. Thank you and have a most excellent day. --The Dark Side 02:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the User:UserBox solution

How would you feel about moving all of the Userboxes that you moved to your userspace to User:UserBox's? McKay 16:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, that idea has been vetoed by Jimbo himself. No special purpose accounts for hosting userboxes, it turns out. -GTBacchus^(talk) 22:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
