TTU scarlet/red

I have started a discussion on this at: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Texas Tech University#"Scarlet" vs "red". Please give your thoughts. Thanks! →Wordbuilder (talk) 16:30, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Wordbuilder. King of the Arverni (talk) 19:43, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Thanks for weighing in. →Wordbuilder (talk) 19:53, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MNU

Look, I gave points on the talk page, I even gave sources from MNU, and a MAP. Stop reverting all my edits, and calling me a vandal. We need to get into some WP:DR Moonraker0022 (talk) 19:31, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've asked another editor to take a look. Your edits were not sufficient. 19 (the new source) is not 20 (your claim) and 15 comes from an independent, reliable, third-party source, an encyclopedia. If you'd read WP:V any of the times I offered you the link, you'd know the difference. --King of the Arverni (talk) 19:35, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've been distracted but finally responded at Talk:MidAmerica Nazarene University#Distance from Kansas City. Let me know what you think. --King of the Arverni (talk) 17:08, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moonraker, I forgot to address this with everything content-driven going on, but I've asked you to read WP:TALK before. Please do not shout on my talk page (or at me anywhere else, for that matter, as you did here). I haven't called you a vandal, to my knowledge. Diffs would help me remember if that really happened.

Manc

~~You just added an "other uses" template to the above article, but it points to MANC (disambiguation) – a redlink. Is that what you meant to do? Nev1 (talk) 23:55, 22 May 2009 (UTC)~~[reply]

Never mind. Nev1 (talk) 23:55, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No worries; sorry I didn't work faster! King of the Arverni (talk) 23:56, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trinity Western University

On my talk page you wrote:

I agree, HotCat really does kill when it comes to edit summaries. My apologies for the confusion! King of the Arverni (talk) 21:15, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

No apology needed. :) Thanks for catcleaning! :) - sinneed (talk) 21:51, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Manual of Style

The example for the University Infobox clearly shows a title, and shows the STATE spelled out. I won't quarrel over if USA needs to be United States like the rest of the University articles, but again. The Nazarene Schools articles are not yours, you can help, but making blank reverts of my edits, which are trying to conform to the rest of the style that Universities (even feature articled University pages, have Titles, more articles have them than don't so it's probably a matter of personal taste. I think we should add a title because if someone earned a Ph. D., why would you not address them as such? If they are just a Prof, you're right there does not seem a need to use a Prof distinction. You cannot deny the fact that the state is written out in the University Guide for Infobox's...and there is an overwhelming amount of University articles that all have them spelled out too. Learn to pick your battles better. And again, stop automatically reverting my edits. You are not the master-in-chief for the article. You are going too far. Moonraker0022 (talk) 01:31, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stop being juvenile and shouting at other editors. If you'd paid any attention to my most recent edit, you'd notice that I didn't change it again; it was silly of me not to check on that when I reviewed the UNI examples along with the MOS earlier re: academic titles (I double-checked them and agree on this point, even if it was foolish if you to pipe the link to itself). King of the Arverni (talk) 01:36, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Silly me, I didn't even read the second part of the rant. I did check the example articles at UNI and 9 of 11 featured articles (you use featured articles to bolster your arguments) eschewed academic titles. I also asked another editor at UNI who agreed that it's standard to eschew them, and we both determined that they should be avoided per WP:CREDENTIAL, even though the other editor didn't personally agree.

Thanks for your assistance. Responded to many of your points on the school's page. Neslgrad09 (talk) 12:30, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of template from Quincy seal file

Hello, Averniking. I have removed the {{ShouldBeSVG}} template you placed on the File:Quincy_seal.png image. I have done this for a couple of reasons: first, the image is not the type that can be easily or gracefully converted to SVG. From the category description, "Images composed of simple shapes, lines, and letters such as those below should be recreated using vector graphics as an SVG file." The image is a hand painted seal, with many subtle variations of tone and color. To recreate it in vector form would create a more posterized or cartoon like image which would rob the viewer of the ability to view the seal in its natural state. Second, please see the history of the seal I have added at File_talk:Quincy_seal.png. Given that the history of the seal vividly describes the desire of the founders of the city to capture the natural landscape of Mount Wollaston based upon an existing sketch they agreed upon, I fell that the full color painted version taken from a city document best represents the intentions of those men. I have a somewhat clearer and smoother version of the logo from another city document which I have yet to prepare for upload but which I will upload in the near future, possibly today. I am sure you will be happy with it and after reading the history will agree that it is best left as a raster image of the painted seal. If you have any questions or comments I will be happy to discuss them with you. Sswonk (talk) 06:19, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You know what, you're right. I totally agree. --King of the Arverni (talk) 15:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

UNI

ElKevbo does a tremendous amount of work fighting vandalism across all university articles and I really can't commend him enough given everything he does. We don't always see eye to eye on a lot of issues (e.g., he's more willing to permit what I see as boosterism as long as its reliably cited). User:Alanraywiki also does some great cross-university article work fighting vandals and spam. User:Jamesontai has also made valient overtures towards building a community, but I think this has largely fallen on deaf ears as it is hard to get excellent editors to contribute to more than their local articles. User:DGG also has some extremely smart things to say in almost any discussion. You're more than welcome to join our little cabal of enforcing a modicum of quality and consistency across articles. :) Madcoverboy (talk) 17:30, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. I really appreciate that. I'm concerned that I might be more of a "stickler" for policies and guidelines, and certainly feel like I have less experience, although I'd love to join the cabal, haha. --King of the Arverni (talk) 17:01, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of Colleges and Universities

Please do not remove the references for the List of colleges and universities in Massachusetts page. Although it might seem quite obvious, the page needs citations there. I would appreciate it if you could start adding back in those citations. This article is close to being nominated as a featured list, and one of those criteria involves the addition of these citations. Thank you and have a nice day.

Third opinion

I have requested a third opinion regarding your most recent unwarranted revision to the New England School of Law page. Thanks. Neslgrad09 (talk) 21:18, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, from whom? The parameters for which you're adding information to the infobox don't even exist! This is getting silly. --King of the Arverni (talk) 01:38, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. My mistake. I added the Law School Infobox to the page. We should be all set now. Thanks again for helping me figure everything out. Neslgrad09 (talk) 02:40, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

St. John's University (New York)

A content dispute at St. John's University (New York) between an IP editor and a registered editor with a potential conflict of interest has gotten a bit out of hand and devolved into personal attacks, outing, and general nastiness. A 24-hour page protection has been imposed, but I'm requesting that other editors intervene to develop a consensus on the dispute while the protection is in place.

I'm hoping we can resolve any issues we have [1] and move forward with constructive additions to the encyclopedia. Thanks. Neslgrad09 (talk) 00:16, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
