You have a userbox [[Template:User UN]] which links your userpage to [[:Category:United Nations Wikipedians|United Nations Wikipedians]]. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Wikipedia which are shared and which create [[:Category:Wikipedians|Lists of Wikipedians]]. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the [[WP:AN/I#User:MarkSweep|incident report]] which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now. |

There is a [[Wikipedia:Userbox policy poll]], which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as '''User UN/United Nations Wikipedians'''. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote '''Oppose.''' in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus. |

Thank you, |

Edit summary
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.
The edit summary field looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! -- Perfecto Canada 20:23, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Your userpage was briefly delisted by a rogue admin
You have a userbox Template:User UN which links your userpage to United Nations Wikipedians. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Wikipedia which are shared and which create Lists of Wikipedians. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the incident report which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now.
There is a Wikipedia:Userbox policy poll, which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as User UN/United Nations Wikipedians. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote Oppose. in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus.
Thank you,
