Template:User opposes UN

Template:User opposes UN (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Crossing out official symbols is bad style. Had already been deleted. Recreation for divisive purposes. ROGNNTUDJUU! 14:18, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep This editor seems to have made it his or her goal to remove anything where a flag is crossed out. MiraLuka 20:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment My vote seems to have disappeared, so I'm re-adding it. MiraLuka 21:51, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I don't think it was created or recreated to be divisive. And also, is there a guide to wiki (or other) style that specifies crossing out official symbols is bad style? Lawyer2b 21:47, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. per Lawyer2b. Procrastinator-General 00:18, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. I proudly state my objection to the habitual uselessness of the UN. I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to express such an opinion. --Michaelk 03:57, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Has absolutely nothing to do with making an encyclopedia; if you want to proudly state your objection to anything, get a Livejournal. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
• keep looks like WP:POINT to me... illuminates POV of editors making for a more open and honest ecylopedia, and thats a good thing. adds creditbility (as opposed to hiding or denying bias)Mike McGregor (Can) 10:17, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
• Modify – The criossed out flag should be changed only. --13:57, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Not a suitable subject for a template. David | Talk 14:26, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a soapbox nor a battleground. This will not help us write a better encyclopedia. / Peter ^Isotalo 18:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, pending decision on userbox policy. (It had been deleted out of process, which eliminates the first two objections by the nominator.) — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 21:23, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep no reason given for deletion. --70.218.15.218 05:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete disparaging.--cj | talk 07:28, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete but please also nominate the pro-UN userbox for deletion, in fairness and for balance. Nhprman ^UserLists 02:04, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
• keep. if there's a pro-un userbox there should be a anti-un userbox. also, in response to a man in back, i'd reccomend briefing yourself on what a userbox is. modification may be nessesary and i'd understand that.--Preschooler.at.heart 03:20, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep as useful indicator of user position. ProhibitOnions 18:13, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, reveals editor's position. Re offensiveness of the crossed out flag, how can it be alright to verbally reject the UN but not alright to visually do the same thing? Avalon 23:13, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I think your question points to the bigger issue, namely, that some people don't think it is okay to verbally reject anything on wikipedia as it show a POV. I think userpages should be exempt from that requirement. Lawyer2b 21:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Coolgamer 16:23, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Remember, you could always change the userbox. I went ahead and did that; taking out the flag and put in UN. See how easy that was? User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 17:56, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Nicer, but you've just changed the WAY in which it promotes a divisive message. It will still lead to more conflict and perhaps lead to a more forcefully worded pro-UN box being created. And the madness continues. Nhprman ^UserLists 20:04, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

• I agree, this is madness because, IMHO, if people paid as much attention to POV expressed in actual articles as they did to userboxes (that are only on people's userpages), wikipedia would be a much better place. Lawyer2b 21:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

I looked at the TFD nomination and it was basically over not about the message of the userbox, but about a flag icon with a giant X through it. Now, that problem has been (I think) resolved, the nomination of this TFD is nearly moot, IMHO. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 01:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
