Category talk:Wikipedians interested in the United Nations
Shouldn't User:DieWeisseRose/Userboxes/EndUN be under Category:Wikipedians who want the United Nations dissolved?
If the interest is a total dissolution, it is misguiding to include them in this category, which should be for supporters and reformers.--Cerejota 16:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- Nope. One must be interested in the United Nations in order support its dissolution. The notion that "this category ... should be for supporters and reformers" only is your POV, nothing more, nothing less. --DieWeisseRose 02:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- P.S. I don't think a "Wikipedians who want the United Nations dissolved" category would survive very long in any case. --DieWeisseRose 02:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Support/oppose userboxes
[edit]In general, "interest" categories should not be populated with userboxes that express support for or opposition to something. I might strongly support the idea of the UN, strongly oppose its current structure and operations, and have absolutely no interest at all in improving articles about the UN.
Discussions that produced a consensus to this effect include:
- Wikipedia:User categories for discussion/Archive/December 2007#Category:Wikipedians interested in the subject of Chinese reunification
- Wikipedia:User categories for discussion/Archive/February 2008#Category:Wikipedians interested in the Car-free movement
- Wikipedia:User categories for discussion/Archive/February 2008#Category:Wikipedians interested in jury nullification
If there are no objections, I will remove this category from any support/oppose userboxes. Black Falcon (Talk) 18:23, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Heyday to you
[edit]Why was Heyday to you removed from this category when he was blocked indefinitely for abusively using multiple accounts? -Cupper52 (talk) 20:35, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
