FSU alternate text logo

Rettetast, what are the approved free-use Florida State text logos/word marks? I work mostly on articles about Florida Gators sports teams (Florida State's principal rivals), and I am familiar with the free-use word marks for the Gators, but not the Seminoles.

• P.S. You may want to update that "semi-retired" template at the top of your user page. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:45, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi. What excact image are you refering to. I removed a bunch of images that did not have a rationale for articles it was used in. I don't edit wikipedia very much anymore, but I am logged in regularly and may go on an editing spree when I have the time. Like last weekend at easter:-) Rettetast (talk) 13:16, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Gonzaga Alternate Logo and VCU Rams Old Wordmark Logo

Hello there!

I noticed that you commented out the File:Gonzaga Alternate Logo.png and File:VCU Rams Old Wordmark.png on the Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball and VCU Rams men's basketball yearly pages. I was very confused why you would comment these out in the first place, and to say that there was "no rationale use" for the images was rather silly.

Since you are from Norway, I do not think you understand college basketball in the United States, specifically the logos of each team. The images of Gonzaga and VCU represent the logos of those schools based on that season they competed. In that case, there is rationale use for those images, because they represent the logo of that school. If that isn't rationale, I do not know what is.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or comments, but understand it was not the right decision to say there was "no rationale use" for those images and put it up for speedy deletion.

Thanks! --User:NJ Jurrjens (talk) 08:13, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

File:East And Central Africa Cricket Logo.jpg

Hej Rettetast, just wondering why you've been taking out links to this image from cricketing articles? I'm not saying you don't have a reason, I just think the articles in question would benefit from the inclusion of this image. Unfortunately, there is no alternative to its usage, other than not using it. - J man708 (talk) 00:12, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

As a non free image it has to meet WP:NFCC. i removed it from articles where there where no rationale for its use per NFCC 10c. Rettetast (talk) 14:37, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, legalities of things such as this have always been a blind spot for me, unfortunately. Is there anyway that usage of this image can satisfy the requirements for it to be shown on the relevant articles, directly relating to the team and their history/results? Thanks! - J man708 (talk) 09:06, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

It looks ok for East and Central Africa cricket team and East Africa cricket team which it also has rationales for. It is used in a bunch of other articles, that looks like blatant abuses of NFCC. The logo of an organization/team is generally ok on the article about that org/team, but not on any other article. If so was it had to be because there where some direct discussion about the logo itself. I am going to remove the logo from the other articles. Rettetast (talk) 20:22, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Being the logo of a non-Country national team, how does usage of this image differ from the usage of the Irish Cricket Logo and the West Indian Cricket Logo's usage on the articles not directly relating to the cricket teams themselves (ie. Tournament pages)? Again, I honestly don't have much knowledge on the subject, unfortunately. Thanks! - J man708 (talk) 04:11, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

I looked at File:WestIndiesCricketFlagPre1999.svg and File:Cricket Ireland flag.svg. Those logos are tagged as free images and does not have to adhere to our non-free policies. Rettetast (talk) 18:28, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Do you know if the East and Central African cricket logo is a free image, too? I mean, the cricket board is now defunct and from that individual boards such as Kenya's and Uganda's have succeeded it. - J man708 (talk) 22:56, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Probably not. Rettetast (talk) 16:31, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Mellotron (and historic edit wars thereof)

Hi. You recently wrote "Consider dispute resolution". To cut a very long story short, there is a longstanding feud on this article by a series of IPs who claim they have rights to the instrument, contrary to what reliable sources tend to report. Previous conversations have deteriorated into personal attacks and the occasional block (IIRC @Bbb23: issued several of these), so I don't really have any confidence going to 3O or DRN is going to accomplish much other than more hot air. Since I don't want to fall foul of 3RR myself, the only option left is for more people to keep an eye on the article, trying to get a discussion going, and protecting if too many reverts are going on.

I looked at the history and there is simply not enough disruption to warrant a protections. Also I am very hesistant to use semiprotection on things that looks like content disputes. Rettetast (talk) 18:30, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

File:KLOVE 2014.png

You could have used the same amount of time (probably less with cut and paste) to add the FURs for those pages than comment the image out. Next time, be helpful, because this isn't helpful. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:39, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Dejligt at møde en der taler det samme sprog :)

Kan du ikke, for min skyld, sige hvorfor du lavede det her edit? På forhånd tak :) Jonas Vinther • (speak to me!) 23:33, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
