I am thinking a lot of these 'professions' are not truly work in nature, ie. podcaster, beach bum, etc. Maybe they should be moved? Cahk 00:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, many of the userboxes in the "Pilot" category are hobbyists, students, wannabes, etc., not professionally engaged in flying as a career. They should be moved to "General Hobbies and Interests", IMO. - JGHowes 23:40, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I work at a nuclear power plant. We have a lot of people that do in this country. There are many positions working for a nuclear power plant: operator, mechanic, I&C, health physics, engineering, management, etc, etc. But for now, to keep it simple, would be nice to have a userbox for Nuclear Professional. Thank you. Gilawson (talk) 12:04, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is an interesting subject. I made up a box - let me know what you think. Feel free to edit it if you like:

Thank you Ahunt! That is SWEET! I used it straight away once I saw it. I wish I knew how to edit it. I dunno what I would change, but I think it would be fun to edit/create userboxes. Thanks for your time and help! Gilawson (talk) 17:36, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to hear that you like it. There are complete instructions on how to edit the template at Wikipedia:Userboxes or you can let me know what changes or new boxes you would like. - Ahunt (talk) 20:10, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

People, I have added some of my created templates : Template:Agricultural engineer, and Template:Civil engineer. Do you guys think that these should be in place, or just ommited for now?

Those are just fine, good job! - Ahunt (talk) 10:52, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This user is an architect.

I can only find Architect, but nothing on Landscape architecture. It would be nice if somebody created one, also. I am using an architect box, but it is not quite the same, you know. Makes a lot of confusion. Please anyone... I don´t know how, myself. Hafspajen (talk) 13:43, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can make that for you. Is there an image available that you thing for illustrate this? - Ahunt (talk) 20:36, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
