Userboxes
editThanks for your note! Glad you found a quick solution for the copyrighted NATO emblem! On the question of moving the userboxes to user space, yup that is a good idea! New accounts don't get "move page" privileges for a week or so I believe, although it is automatically added (you don't have to ask). So to move it you could wait until you get that privilege added or I could move them for you if you let me know where you would like them. There are some options - if you want to see how I have organised the userboxes I have made you can see them all at User:Ahunt/Userboxes. - Ahunt (talk) 23:42, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- Okay - done! I hope you can figure out what I did there:
- Moved NATO template to User:VanHelm/NATO Mission
- Moved UN template to User:VanHelm/UN Mission
- Created a page for you User:VanHelm/Userboxes to show all your userboxes on (I am sure you will make more) - feel free to customize this as you like, I left the tabs on top of it.
- Added a link on your user page to the userbox page. You'll probably want to reformat it but at least it will allow you to navigate around your four pages!
- Changed the links to the NATO and UN boxes at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Military#Peacekeeping_Forces_and_Missions to point to their new locations.
- Hopefully that should do it!
- Yes indeed it does look like we have similar background and interets (see what reading userboxes will do for you?) Feel free to leave me a note on my talk page again anytime or drop me an e-mail. My e-mail address is on my own website, which is linked from my user page. - Ahunt (talk) 01:09, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for your note - glad you found our website of interest! Thank you too for the links. Please do let me know if you need any assiatance with anything else - I look forward to seeing more of your user boxes! - Ahunt (talk) 17:33, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
