I am thinking a lot of these 'professions' are not truly work in nature, ie. podcaster, beach bum, etc. Maybe they should be moved? Cahk 00:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree, many of the userboxes in the "Pilot" category are hobbyists, students, wannabes, etc., not professionally engaged in flying as a career. They should be moved to "General Hobbies and Interests", IMO. - JGHowes 23:40, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I am willing to take the military userboxes into my userspace, per WP:GUS. Just let me know and userfy it into User:PHDrillSergeant/Userboxes/. ~ Porphyric Hemophiliac § 14:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Diplomat box

Why does the diplomat Userbox have a picture of a cookie on it?--Unionhawk (talk) 23:33, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

An excellent question! According to the history page for that userbox the person who created it, User:Mikebar said "US diplomats informally called "cookie pushers"". He claims that he is one. Of interest there is a rather odd Wikipedia article about that: Cookie Pusher that claims the term goes back to 1924. - Ahunt (talk) 00:33, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
