Userboxes

edit

Thanks 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)Reply

Okay - done! I hope you can figure out what I did there:
  1. Moved NATO template to User:VanHelm/NATO Mission
  2. Moved UN template to User:VanHelm/UN Mission
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. 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)Reply
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)Reply
