The new vertically oriented image makes the userbox taller than the "standard" userbox and kinda messes with the formatting of my userbox grouping layout on my userpage as a result. For now, I'm going to revert to the earlier version, not as commentary on the image but, rather, to bring the size back in line. I hope this will be ok until we can figure something else out. Thanks.

To clarify, I should have phrased better. I didn't mean that I wanted to change the userbox to conform to the standards of my own userpage, but to the "standard" userbox size that the vast majority of userboxes seem to use. Seemed like a reasonable thing to do at the time. Qqqqqq ( talk) 07:18, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Plus, you should've waited for a response rather than unilaterally changing it, especially given that it was recently changed. -- William S. Saturn ( talk) 07:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
@ William S. Saturn: Give me a good reason for not changing this userbox. The new style I created is of standard size, and has elements truly representative of presidential elections, an electoral map and a POTUS seal. The old one has a bad photo, is outsized, and isn't very artistic. Spartan7W § 16:07, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
I have real rationale to update this userbox: style, symbols, size. You have no reason to support its present form. Yes, I could create a new one. But my version is a cleaner, more representative userbox, in line with those used by other United States WikiProjects. Give me a substantive reason why not to update, not just a 'no'.

An updated design has been proposed for this userbox. Which do you prefer?17:13, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
A - Proposed | B - Original |
V: Option A - The new style provides two key elements: 1) For a userbox used by many members, the proposed is of standard userbox size. 2) It features elements wholly representative of the subject and Wikiproject, namely the seal of the president, and an electoral map (which features a 90-year old election, split between two parties + 1 third party). Furthermore, its gold border style matches, though subtly, with presidential series boxes used for importrant presidents. The old box is outsized, and it has a poor-quality picture which cannot be easily distinguished at the small size, and text isn't well placed. Spartan7W § 17:16, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
