Language: Academy of Contemporary English

The Academy of English was launched to great fanfare in the press a few months ago, before it renamed itself the Academy of Contemporary English. For those keen on correct British English usage, I have added {{User Academy English}}:

Suggestion: Supporter of WikiLeaks and Julian Assange

It occurs to me that Userboxes for supporters of WikiLeaks, and for Julian Assange, would be quite popular.

As I haven't the faintest idea how to make a userbox, I'll pray that someone else creates one while I struggle through the basics. Uncensored Kiwi ^Touch 23:07, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Apparently, there is already a WikiLeaks userbox:Uncensored Kiwi ^Touch 23:17, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Try this one:

Wikileaks & The ultimate TRUTH:
C.I.A. has spied on other governments legally.

Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica Userbox

I would like a (few) user box/es for the Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica, by James A. Owen. This is my favorite series, and I am at a loss on how to make them. Koopashell (talk) 15:10, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Taxonomy

I think a userbox that says something like "Taxonomy is way too damn confusing" would be great (if there isn't already one) because it's funny and actually true. I know a lot of people who would like that...Crimsonraptor | (Contact me) Dumpster dive if you must 18:32, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Video DownloadHelper

TIP: Try DownloadHelper^[1]
Save YouTube, play with VLC
It will change your life! ;)

This is actually the second most popular Firefox plug-in, but until you've tried it and learned its true potential, you probably don't know how useful it is. It lets you save YouTube files instead of streaming them, so you can watch a 480p file instead of cursing the constant stick-and-stop playback. More to the point, you can play them back on VLC, so you can get good quality freeze frames for Fair Use images (wish I'd known about this back when I was editing 2010 Qur'an-burning controversy... I was getting pwned by Fred Phelps' awesome computer skills, and that's not a good feeling.) Oddly enough, sometimes you can even download a better video quality that doesn't appear on the web page menu. Wnt (talk) 10:24, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

My suggestions

1. Alot of the objectivist icons were recently deleted. Someone should make new ones. 2. Democrat & Republican. 3. Favorite color. 4. AIDS. 5. "Gilmore Girls". 6. "Catcher in the Rye". 7. "A Clockwork Orange" (book & film). 8. "The Big Lebowski". 9. Uncyclopedia, Rationalwiki, etc. 10. Micheal Moore. 11. Sarcasm. 12. Nadsat. 13. Facebook, Mysoace, etc. 14. Do the Fan-1, Fan-2 Fan-3 with Youtube channels. 15. Nerd, geek, etc.

Psi Upsilon?

Hey... I was looking in the Fraternity and Sorority userboxes, and saw that the Psi Upsilon Fraternity was not included, though it is an IFC organization. I made a UBX for it, but I don't know how to do any of the code things to make it work, and I don't know how to add it to the Fraternity and Sorority Userbox page. Can anyone help me out? --Lbr123 (talk) 05:40, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Freemason

Is there any interest for a userbox indicating the user is a Freemason? I can design it (probably something including the Square and Compasses), just not sure if enough users are Freemasons to justify it.

Something to the effect of "This user is sick of the lockout" or simply "This user Wants footbal" linking to the article. Zidane tribal (talk) 00:57, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

"Various" Userbox

It's time to end the use of the word "various." If I knew anything about making userboxes, I'd have one that said: "This user supports eradicating the word "various" or something of that nature.Qizix (talk) 16:21, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Abandoned Drafts Wikiproject

I recently created WP:Wikiproject Abandoned Drafts and we are in need of a userbox. I was thinking using something akin to this image and the words "This user is a member of Wikiproject Abandoned Drafts." And to have the userbox have some lighter colors, like maybe a blue or something like that. Silver seren^C 20:52, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Can someone make a Blue Exorcist/Ao no Exorcist Userbox?

I really like the anime, and I would love it if someone would make one saying "This user is a student at True Cross Academy." or "This user is a Exwire." or something related to the series. --*Yukio Okumura* (talk) 03:21, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to second this idea, please. I'd love for someone to make up a userbox for Kajukenbo practitioners including their logo. I'll settle for a generic martial arts userbox, however. Please. Dachknanddarice (talk) 23:22, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Update: I hope you don't mind, Trekphiler, but I stole your userbox template you posted here to create my own Kajukenbo user box.... I have yet to change the color on it (I will color it based on the belt rank I am currently at) but here's what it looks like so far. I want to thank you for providing the template.

This user trains in Kajukenbo.

Dachknanddarice (talk) 23:31, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

If I minded, it wouldn't be here. :D I like yours. I also like the "color by belt" idea. :D TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 20:44, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

I wondered if someone would create a user box that would supply the local weather.

I would like to have a user box that supplies the weather in New York City. I am not sure how to create such a user box.Iss246 (talk) 03:07, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

That is an interesting idea, but I have no idea how you would incorporate that sort of dynamic content, make it work any where in the world (Wikipedia is not just in the USA) and also make it all free non-copyrighted images, so as to conform with free use rules. - Ahunt (talk) 13:06, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Wikia userbox

Moved from Wikipedia talk:Userboxes/Galleries

– Better location for this discussion.

I was thinking of coding a userbox that says something like this user is a Wikia editor, but I have no idea as to where to put it, as in in what subpage of the gallery page. Any ideas? Bluefire272 (talk) 20:28, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

I would think at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Computing#Websites_and_services, since there are already three userboxes about Wikia there. Of course you might find one of those fits what you were looking for and that will save you making a new one. - Ahunt (talk) 20:41, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Ah but of course; there already is one. I just forgot to check... Bluefire272 (talk) 16:39, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

No problem, since you weren't sure where to look that makes it harder to check! If you have general userbox questions you can always ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Userboxes to reach a wider readership and hopefully get quicker answers! - Ahunt (talk) 16:47, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
