::I asked you above to read [[Wikipedia:User_page#Ownership_and_editing_of_pages_in_the_user_space]] over a week ago. It says:"In general it is considered polite to avoid substantially editing another's user page without their permission. Some users are fine with their user pages being edited, and may even have a note to that effect. Other users may object and ask you not to edit their user pages, and it is probably sensible to respect their requests. The best option is to draw their attention to the matter on their talk page and let them edit their user page themselves if they agree on a need to do so." I endeavored to get you to tell me exactly what was wrong so that (as it says above), I could edit my own page. That didn't work so well.[[User:Tstrobaugh|Tstrobaugh]] ([[User talk:Tstrobaugh|talk]]) 19:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC) |

I was noticing that you were making some edits to [[WP:BABEL|babel boxes]]. I'm not sure about the other edits, but I was wondering why you moved some of the [[Template:User blksp]] boxes to [[Template:User art]], and changed the code of all the boxes from Blksp to Art. If you could explain this change, I would appreciate it. Best, [[User:IronGargoyle|IronGargoyle]] ([[User talk:IronGargoyle|talk]]) 02:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC) |

Userpage
Hi, I see you edited my userpage, could you show me the en:wikipedia guidelines that justify your edits? And if you are to change anything again, please ask me to do it on the talkpage and I will see whether I'll change it or not. Thanks Mallerd (talk) 19:08, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Ditto. Please familiarize yourself with policies such as Wikipedia:User_page#Ownership_and_editing_of_pages_in_the_user_space. Tstrobaugh (talk) 03:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'll make it easy for you. Instead of editing my user page, edit the userbox template in question, then tell me which are the offending templates and I'll cut and paste the proper version onto my userpage myself. Fair enough?Tstrobaugh (talk) 15:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Babel boxes
I was noticing that you were making some edits to babel boxes. I'm not sure about the other edits, but I was wondering why you moved some of the Template:User blksp boxes to Template:User art, and changed the code of all the boxes from Blksp to Art. If you could explain this change, I would appreciate it. Best, IronGargoyle (talk) 02:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- "art" is the default abbreviation for any artificial language. Feel free to revert. - jc37 09:34, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- Oops - Lol didn't know that my bad, reverting (if not already done). -Babelious 23:23, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
