message: The Ellis Island inclusion in that userbox focuses solely on European-American immigration.  By implication, then, are all non Euro-Americans NOT real Americans?
:Not in the least, although the template's name could be a bit more subtle. A lot of Americans can trace their ancestry back to Ellis Island (perhaps  would be a better name...?). Others, however, may be of Native American ancestry, or maybe of Japanese descent, or Puerto Rican, and can use those userboxes. If your ancestry isn't covered by the template, then use one of the others, or make one that does cover your ancestry. Grutness...wha? 07:26, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Is there, by any chance, a similar template for one's ancestry?

message: Why the "female" userbox was moved via the German userbox solution?  From what I read, I thought that was mainly done only with controversial userboxes.  Is it needing to be worked on due to a botched code or something?  The reason I'm considering that is because the other userboxes regarding gender are on there.  Not that it's a big deal, I was just curious as to why it was moved.

message: I would like to know how to go about creating or requesting one or more userboxes for Tamil ethnicity.
 ex: 
 "This user is proud to be Tamil"
 "This user is of Tamil ethnicity"
 "This user is an ethnic Tamil"
For the pic, it would be similar to the Dravidian userbox pic except it would show the map of Tamil Nadu, and Northeastern Sri Lanka, which depicts where the ethnic Tamils originate. If someone could point me in the right direction on going about this it would be highly appreciate.
Thank you.

message: You who reverted my revert with an IP address, please note that Wikipedia works with consensus. There needs to be a consensus to add new boxes on the page, and usually there is if the boxes are not divisive. Pedophilia as an act is illegal, and I disagree about that kind of boxes here. I can't revert your edit until tomorrow or later because I'd be reverting too many times a day, but for that box to stay a consensus has to be worked on this talk page.

message: Does anyone know if there are userboxes for the many Scottish clans? Im of the Clan Sinclair myself. I might just go ahead and make one for that in particular but I think it would be cool to have a whole bunch for anyone who is part of one. Im just gonna make a simple one, "This user is of the Clan Sinclair, a Scoto-Norman clan and has the Holy Grail buried in his back-garden." or something along those lines, with a .svg or .png of the clan tartan, what do you think? :) Terrasidius (talk) 22:09, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the "is a Straight (Male or Female)" boxes are classified under the "Sex/gender" section, while the gay/lesbian/bisexual userboxes are classified under the "Sexuality" section. I would think anything relating to sexual orientation would go under the "Sexuality" section, whether it is for gay, straight, or bi users? For a second looking at the "Sex/gender" section, I thought that there weren't any gay userboxes :P scooteytalk 06:22, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
