[edit] User pages

Just a reminder that the purpose of a user page (like (User:ChaosR) is to enable active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, so you should not consider your user page to be a personal homepage. Content unrelated to Wikipedia or its editing may be removed or deleted.

As of now, you've made all of 5 article edits in 3-1/2 months and yet have made 62 edits to your user page to add 83 userboxes. In other words, you have over sixteen times the number of userboxes as you do actual article edits -- which is NOT the sign of an active editor. Again, content unrelated to Wikipedia or its editing may be removed or deleted, and that includes user pages of non-editors.

Please see the user page guidelines, especially this section for more information. --Calton | Talk 13:36, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, my userpage contains a lot of userboxes, but this userpage does not take a lot of space, nor is it viewed extensively. It is just to show people who I am, I just like userboxes. All those edits are there because the userboxes keep moving and moving around to other users. And I have made a lot more edits, but I do make them on my school, when I have nothing to do. I won't log in there, because I don't trust them. And make a lot of edits in the dutch version of the wiki. And I don't have a userpage there. By the way, those rules say: "Excessive personal information (more than a couple of pages) unrelated to Wikipedia". I wouldn't say this userpage is a couple of pages. So please let me have this userpage, there is nothing wrong with it. --ChaosR 16:06, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Since you're not an active Wikipedia editor and none of the userboxes seems to bear the slightest purpose of editing Wikipedia, then ALL of it is excessive. I have tagged -- and am perfectly willing to continue tagging -- non-editor pages for deletion absent any real Wikipedia activity. Again, Wikipedia is not a permanent free webhost/MySpace substitute, a judgment that precedent will back me up on. --Calton | Talk 05:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
