[edit] User:Gamgee/Userboxes/Republican
Hi Gamgee,
Please don't delete other people's userbox links in any userspace directories. [1] It's really bad form. Both can be displayed. Rfrisbietalk 14:44, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] US-German Relations
"Support" = cause. I was attempting to "save" your usebox in userspace. However, since you made the box, and wish that wording, I'll just move it to your userspace for you User:Gamgee/Userboxes/User USA-Germany as per WP:GUS. Enjoy : )

- I saw your "help" userbox on your main page : )
- This quote should hopefully explain:
- ""It should be noted that use of userboxes related to beliefs, ideologies, viewpoints on controversial issues, and ethical convictions is strongly discouraged at Wikipedia, and it is likely that very soon all these userboxes will be deleted or moved to userspace. Their use and creation is not recommended at this time." - Wikipedia:Jimbo on Userboxes
- I hope this helps : )

- This is just a suggestion, but you might consider moving your userboxes from your main page to User:Gamgee/Userboxes. Feel free to look at my page for ideas. - Jc37 14:48, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, Jc37, I'm not totally sure if it's the same thing we´re talking about, but I already did this with some of my boxes. If you don´t mind, take a short look at the source code and tell me if this is what you're meaning. Gamgee 16:04, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sure : )
- I'll show you, and you can revert what you don't like : ) - Jc37 16:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, I did the move. I just added a quick link to the userbox sub-page on your main page, I presume you'll do something more "pretty" with it : )
- I also might suggest turning your individual userbox code into further sub-pages (like you did with US-German relations).
- Hope this helped : )

Thank you once again. I think that I get along with it more or less... Gamgee 20:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Transport by city
Hi. I see you reverted some changes I made regarding Category:Transport by city. I think you may be misunderstanding the way categories work here. The general practice is to place articles in the most specific category possible. Wikipedia:Categorization says that "articles should not usually be in both a category and its subcategory." So, for example, Category:Transport in Hanover does not need to be listed directly in Category:Transport by city, because it's also in Category:Transport in Germany by city, which is a subcategory of Category:Transport by city. The same logic applies to many of the articles and categories you edited.
Also, please be careful when making claims about vandalism. We take vandalism very seriously, and good faith edits should never be construed as such. I hope I was able to make things clear. Please let me know if you have any questions. - EurekaLott 02:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
