Appropriate categorization[edit]

The userbox currently used here ({{user skygazing}}) seems to be misplaced. This category is a subcategory of both Category:Wikipedians interested in astronomy and Category:Wikipedian physicists. It's the latter that seems to be a problem. The template is filed under Wikipedia:Userboxes/Interests, and the wording indicates hobbyists/enthusiasts, and while it doesn't necessarily exclude professional astronomers, it clearly encompasses a much broader group, indicating to me that it should be the corresponding userbox to the "interested in" category, not this one. I use this Userbox, and I don't consider myself an astronomer, and certainly not a physicist. Maybe there should be a professional userbox that includes this category, but it seems that right now, the box and categorization are misplaced. For now, I'm moving the box up and changing the categorization included in the template. --Fru1tbat 18:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
