Occupations

[edit]

I am thinking a lot of these 'professions' are not truly work in nature, ie. podcaster, beach bum, etc. Maybe they should be moved? Cahk 00:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, many of the userboxes in the "Pilot" category are hobbyists, students, wannabes, etc., not professionally engaged in flying as a career. They should be moved to "General Hobbies and Interests", IMO. - JGHowes 23:40, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am willing to take the military userboxes into my userspace, per WP:GUS. Just let me know and userfy it into User:PHDrillSergeant/Userboxes/. ~ Porphyric Hemophiliac § 14:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diplomat box

[edit]

Why does the diplomat Userbox have a picture of a cookie on it?--Unionhawk (talk) 23:33, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An excellent question! According to the history page for that userbox the person who created it, User:Mikebar said "US diplomats informally called "cookie pushers"". He claims that he is one. Of interest there is a rather odd Wikipedia article about that: Cookie Pusher that claims the term goes back to 1924. - Ahunt (talk) 00:33, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aspiring Lawyer

[edit]

Request: Would someone please be kind enough to make a userbox for aspiring Lawyer. Thank you very much for your help. In the mean time, I will try to figure out how the create a userbox. Thanks again! --Paulsprecker (talk) 00:32, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem - I have made one up and added it to the page at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Profession#Aspirations - Ahunt (talk) 12:24, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nuclear Professional

[edit]

I work at a nuclear power plant. We have a lot of people that do in this country. There are many positions working for a nuclear power plant: operator, mechanic, I&C, health physics, engineering, management, etc, etc. But for now, to keep it simple, would be nice to have a userbox for Nuclear Professional. Thank you. Gilawson (talk) 12:04, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is an interesting subject. I made up a box - let me know what you think. Feel free to edit it if you like:

Thank you Ahunt! That is SWEET! I used it straight away once I saw it. I wish I knew how to edit it. I dunno what I would change, but I think it would be fun to edit/create userboxes. Thanks for your time and help! Gilawson (talk) 17:36, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Glad to hear that you like it. There are complete instructions on how to edit the template at Wikipedia:Userboxes or you can let me know what changes or new boxes you would like. - Ahunt (talk) 20:10, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New Userboxes

[edit]

People, I have added some of my created templates : Template:Agricultural engineer, and Template:Civil engineer. Do you guys think that these should be in place, or just ommited for now? Abhijay Let's have a chat, my friend. 01:26, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And P.S. anybody can write on my message page if they want help to create a userbox, because I have the expertise. Abhijay Let's have a chat, my friend. 01:27, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those are just fine, good job! - Ahunt (talk) 10:52, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a bunch Ahunt! Abhijay Talk?/Deeds 06:51, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One missing

[edit]
This user is an architect.

I can only find Architect, but nothing on Landscape architecture. It would be nice if somebody created one, also. I am using an architect box, but it is not quite the same, you know. Makes a lot of confusion. Please anyone... I don´t know how, myself. Hafspajen (talk) 13:43, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can make that for you. Is there an image available that you thing for illustrate this? - Ahunt (talk) 20:36, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

first responder?

[edit]

Can we have a generic first responder choice, like the one below, for those who would wish to be generic about their profession? ihafez talk 15:11, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
