Non-autos[edit]

where can we put a non-automobile vehicle userbox like, say, this one?:

I'll start another section and put it in. Does this box have typo? "This [user] wishes..."? Rfrisbietalk 02:53, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and thanks again for spotting that typo! Maybe we can add more vehicles to that, like the M1 Abrams, Leopard 2, Humvee, ect.--Porsche997SBS 03:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio - you can't use a company logo in a userbox.[edit]

Someone recently added a bunch of userboxes containing company logos. I reverted that change because every single one of them is a copyright violation of that companies logo. It is not OK to use copyrighted images like that just anywhere in Wikipedia. The images are used in articles about car companies under the provisions of 'fair use' - which is a special excemption under copyright law that applies when the image is being used for purposes of commentary about the company. Within Wikipedia, we have a set of ten conditions that must ALL be met in order to use an image under 'fair use' provisions. That list in WP:FU - and user boxes only meet about half of the conditions.
