First Funke is notable in the same way Maggie Brooks is notable in that they now are both elected politicians. He is also notable in relation to coverage of that station similarly to how Irv Weinstein is Notable with WKBW-TV Buffalo due to their name recognition with the station. Funke just won an election because he has name brand association from being on Channel 10 for all those years and this is a Democrat talking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mo2010 ( talk • contribs)
Corky, I have not the slightest idea what was the problem with my recent edit to KCBS-TV, since it was factual and documentable and, as you were kind and generous enough to write, in "good faith." I edit Wikipedia very seldom, and only when I think something is missing; what I added was. Whatever did not meet Wikipedia's arcane guidelines for such a trivial edit, I've no idea. This doesn't really interest me enough to converse about, though I was curious enough about it to message you. I'm sure more engaged editors than me would bring me up to speed. Though I don't travel all that fast, here or otherwise. Any response from you , should you choose to make any, would be delightful to receive. Lantana11 ( talk) 04:38, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Posted to User talk:Curioushavedape and User talk:Corkythehornetfan. Please don't clutter the page history with a slow motion edit war. You've got two reasonable logo images, discuss it together on talk. Let me know if you want a third opinion.
Also don't WP:REVTALK. Using edit summaries to discuss or debate isn't good. My tip/trick: If you're making the same edit a second time then you know someone disagrees with it. Be the first to post your explanation on talk page, make the edit, and use the edit summary to point the other person to the explanation on Talk. That establishes you as the cooperative editor initiating discussion, with the convenient bonus that your preferred version generally stays in place during the discussion.

Corky, I believe we are talking about two entirely different things regarding this subject. I have added names to a directory that ALREADY exists. The additions are correct and current. "Notability" has not a thing to do with this, as it marginally might be with station "alumni" and former personalities. If Wikipedia is not in the business of offering directories, then should not the whole existing list be removed? How could an incomplete and thus incorrect listing of anchors be allowed to remain? I mean, for example, if there were a list of US Senators, would several states' representatives be left off the roster? And just who determines "notability" -- and on what basis? Lantana11 ( talk) 07:45, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
Corkythehornetfan, regarding our conversation on this KCBS-TV anchor list, I sincerely hope that my comments did not convey any disrespectful or even insouciant tone. I do understand the points you made and, on the occasions when I do edit articles, follow them. I suppose I was trying to say that I do complain sometimes that the Wiki guidelines, in the pursuit of correctness, essential, take a follow-the-letter-but-miss-the-spirit kind of turn. But I may well be wrong, and what I think doesn't matter much anyhow. I'm glad Wiki is what it is, and I'm very sorry for any contentiousness. Thanks for the time, Nick Lantana11 ( talk) 06:29, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
At the time you posted, "Yes, they dont mert those requirements. ill post on talk page my reason later when I'm on a computer.", diff, you knew that there was no consensus to change the article, and your edit comment is not a response to the reasons for the restoration of consensus. The statement "they don't mert those requirements" is incoherent. In the WP:BRD sequence, the discussion occurs after the first revert, not after a second revert. So you also changed the article while stipulating that discussion was needed and in disregard of WP:BRD. I propose that you self-revert. Unscintillating ( talk) 23:59, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
“ | Lists of people must meet the criteria listed at WP:LISTPEOPLE. This isn't the first station article this has been discussed on, nor will it be the last. Articles have been protected to prevent these additions, or the editors in question blocked when they persistently continue to reinsert inappropriate material. If a name is included in the article in this way, it has to show that it's relevant to the subject by meeting WP:LISTPEOPLE. Just because a station lists its employees doesn't mean Wikipedia needs to as well, and other station articles needing similar cleanup doesn't mean this one doesn't need to be cleaned up, because whenever it's actually discussed on a station article, the end result is the same; the names that don't meet WP:LISTPEOPLE are removed. Wikipedia is also not a directory. See here, here, and here for previous discussions about this. I'm not sure why WP:LISTPEOPLE would not be appropriate like User:Unscintillating said, but he must have a pretty darn good reason as to why it doesn't apply here. | ” |

The reason I did that in the interest of Fairness. I constructed most of that page and the Al Jazeera Pages have been unfairly targeted in the past when other pages have not been affected. Such is the world of United States cable news where there favorites and enemies on every side, It is a sensitive situation. I apologize for resisting at every turn but that is the reason.
NOTE: I also believe that the rules surrounding things like correspondents and on air personnel should be changed. The newer channels do not have the bigger names like the older ones and deleting names that do not have pages yet (I'm working on that) gives an appearance of things being different than they actually are. If they are hosting they are notable for at least that. Also if they are the main feature of a program such as News (Al Jazeera America) it does not make sense to get rid of them as it then does not give an accurate picture of the program ( Mo2010 ( talk) 9:27, 9 December 2014 (UTC))

I have a couple of questions regarding your recent edit of the "CBS Evening News" Wikipedia page.
1) Is there a reason as to why the airing times of this program were completely removed?
2) In regards to the following sentence:
"For viewers in the Pacific Time Zone, CBS broadcasts a separate "Western Edition" live, an hour after the main broadcast, in Pacific Time which is tape delayed to viewers in Alaska & Hawaii."
If the East coast edition airs live at 6:30pm ET and a separate "Western" edition airs live at 6:30pm PT (which would be 9:30pm ET), how can you state that the Western edition airs one hour after the East coast airing? Should that sentence actually say "three hours after the main broadcast"? Unless.....the Western Edition is NOT live but actually pre-recorded at 7:30pm ET?
Could you please clarify this? JKSAW ( talk) 16:52, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure who the comment dated November 10, 2014 on the 2014–15 Abilene Christian Wildcats women's basketball team Wiki page advising to check for a logo prior to creating one was directed at, but since my username is the predominant one on the page, I am assuming it was directed at me.
If the intent was to direct the comment to me, I can assure you that it is misdirected. The original logo with the misspelling for Abilene was already on an existing Abilene Christian Wikipedia page when I created the new seasonal page. Anyway thanks for the logo update. Same with some of the other logos files you have changed on other pages.

Dear Corkythehornetfan,
I thought I'd message you on your on Talk page as per the guidelines. I received a message stating that my "edits appear to be disruptive" and a note from you saying "please quit adding them; if not, you may be blocked" Please can I confirm that it was not my intention to cause conflict in this matter. I thought I was doing the right thing by re-adding them ('re-adding' being the key word; I wasn't adding them from scratch as the names were already there and have been for a substantial amount of time) but you've suggested otherwise. Let me assure you that I have taken your advice on-board from the 'Talk' section of the R4 page and shall no longer re-add any of the names without any 3rd party sources. However, I don't appreciate the implication that I went out my way to be disruptive as that certainly wasn't the case; I'm sure there are plenty of users on here who go out their way to abuse page content, but that certainly doesn't line up with what I was doing. I ask you, please, to appreciate the fact that my edits held no bad intentions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.19.152.79 ( talk) 20:10, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

In the case of the Drexel basketball page, there is no reason to not have the box scores listed as a source along with the final scores of games. There are many major basketball programs that have the box scores included on their team schedule, especially a number of those whose schedules includes the stat leaders in points, rebounds, and assists for each game. While a number of team's schedules do not include the box scores, from what I have seen more pages are adding these box scores over the past few seasons. It does no harm to the page and simply adds a source of information for otherwise unsourced material. By the way, I was responding to your edits via the talk page for the team. I didn't mean to ignore you in any way. In retrospect, I should have contacted you via your talk page and discussed more. If you feel it is necessary I do not have any problem with opening a discussion on WP:WikiProject College basketball. Hopefully it will draw a more universal conclusion as to which format to standardize since it is apparently inconsistent among many team pages.

Had you considered how rude your repeated deletion of of good faith edits WP:GOODFAITH appears.
The edit is not a case of wp:vandalism:
"a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia"
&
"Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism. Careful consideration may be required to differentiate between edits that are beneficial, detrimental but well-intentioned, and vandalizing. Mislabelling good-faith edits as vandalism can be considered harmful."
Vandalism would call for reversion.
Wikpedia policy also says
"In some cases, editors may object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references; consider adding a citation needed tag as an interim step."
That is the normal first response to an un-cited claim, flag it citation needed, the fact that I did cite it that way, plus my comments indicated I am working on it should have stopped you deleting it, see Wikipedia:Revert_only_when_necessary.
"Revert vandalism upon sight but revert an edit made in good faith only after careful consideration. It is usually preferable to make an edit that retains at least some elements of a prior edit than to revert the prior edit. Furthermore, your bias should be toward keeping the entire edit. "
Just because I have a different editing style does not give you the right to remove content. That is also Wikipedia policy.
"Perfection is not required: Wikipedia is a work in progress. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles."
However I may choose the first rule, WP:Ignore All Rules. ˥ Ǝ Ʉ H Ɔ I Ɯ ( talk) 23:48, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
I just saw your question on my commons talk page, I pretty much don't go on that side except for image viewing. GACLocations came from the NCAA D2 Basketball Map. I cropped it and used paint to erase locations not in the GAC, very carefully along state lines, then modified the dot size and names for the locations. You won't have to worry about it but I also combined and slightly adjusted the dots for Henderson State and Ouachia Baptist since they are separated only by a 2-lane state highway in Arkadelphia. I had to use the basketball map because Oklahoma Baptist is not on the NCAA D2 Football Map. Although my GAC map does not show OKBU, I have an update ready to upload on July 1 when they officially join the conference. For your work on the MIAA, the football map would be easier to use. The GAC map was fairly easy to make, hope this helps. Msjraz64 ( talk) 03:35, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Corkythehornetfan,
Hello, your recent addition to the article of the NSU Riverhawks page (Woo! GO RIVERHAWKS!) fight song is an understandably wrong change. I am a senior of our beloved NSU and have a 2011 Chevy spark (green and white) with our schools logo and mascot emblazoned onto the front hood and windows. My car horn plays the tune of our fight song. We here at our homely town of Tahlequah know our school song by heart and is a right of passage growing up in these here parts. I attend and rally my friends during every basketball, football, foosball, ultimate frisbee, and volleyball(but we watch it for the players [the men look nice in short shorts]). Once when I was a child my father beat me for getting saying a word wrong and I learned after the third beating to pronounce my words correctly. I am a Riverhawk through and through, I will have you know that I sing our fight song regularly on weekends and holidays as well as every game....I know for a fact that it is STANCH not this word staunch you are making up. -Best regards, William Nickers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.173.33.236 ( talk) 20:15, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

I was aware that there was discussion on the dropping of state in MSSU, and MWSU for athletics, but I was unaware of any conclusions. Normally I believe we are on much the same page and during your attempted ESU Hornets rename I was completely behind you. However, I was wondering about the TSU/Truman Bulldogs and the MIAA States. I know the Athletic Depts use "Missouri Western," and "Missouri Southern," but I am concerned with WP:Commonname. It may be due to UCO being new to the conference, but in radio/the Vista (newspaper) KFOR [3], etc. seem to use "State." ESPN is much less conclusive [4]. I trust your judgement and I haven't reverted such edits. However, I do believe that a [WP:Commonname] consensus discussion may be necessary, if for nothing else to resolve this issue. It could be as simple as a Middle Tennessee, and Bowling Green (State) issue, and not a U(Louisiana)-Lafayette. I have no preference either way, but do think that a discussion is inevitable. Regards.

On March 15th you changed the colors for the UAB Blazers athletics teams. The changes are erroneous and will be corrected. The colors you wrongly assumed were correct are indeed the official colors of the University itself, but not the colors used by the Department of Athletics at UAB, as evidenced on page 6 of the official media guide for the 2014-15 men's basketball team at this link ... http://issuu.com/uabsports/docs/guide2014-15
The official colors of the athletic teams are Forest Green and Old Gold. Yes there is a reason for the differing colors which involved former athletic director Gene Bartow and his desire for more consistency of the gold color in discussions with the uniform manufacturer at the time, Russell Athletics. He was told that the shade of bright yellow gold the Blazers wore at the time was not a standard color and would vary from run to run. At that time (1991) the school and athletic department decided to drop the gold from the official colors (which were the same for both at that time) to forest green and white. Subsequently Russell Athletic came back to the school with a solution to the "gold" problem...if UAB would choose a commonly used golden shade (they chose the old gold worn by Georgia Tech), it could be consistently guaranteed. At that point Coach Bartow restored the shade of old gold to the athletic departments official colors as it remains today. The school itself did not re-institute gold and have since tweeked the green to a shade closer to evergreen. A change that was not matched by the athletics department. The previously listed colors were the correct colors and have been/will be restored.
Please do not attempt to change things you have an incomplete knowledge off and have not thoroughly researched. I have opened a discussion of this issue on the main UAB wiki page.
FYI: The official UAB athletic hex colors from the UAB athletics website are listed below:
Green - #006645 Gold - #D2C476 White - #ffffff
These hex colors may be verified by investigating the style guide of the official UAB athletics department webpages at www.uabsports.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blazerjay ( talk • contribs) 04:25, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello C. I saw the question you posted on Materialscientist's talk page. I wanted to give you a link to this page Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace.

You may already know about this page so my apologies for providing repeat info if that is the case. Cheers and happy editing. MarnetteD| Talk 21:41, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Corky, I can tell you that both Steve Grote and Dan Spika were part of NBC's college basketball coverage. Grote was a member of Michigan's 1976 national runner up basketball team. In 1981 Grote replaced Fred Taylor on NBC's Big Ten telecast with Bob Costas his broadcast partner. After that season, Grote joined CBS's college basketball broadcasts, with Taylor rejoining NBC and being paired with Costas. Dan Spika was a former player and coach at North Texas, and replaced Rudy Davalos as Frank Fallon's broadcast partner on Southwest Conference games on NBC in 1982. I hope this helps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celticsfellow ( talk • contribs) 15:39, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I concur. And I've alerted User:Materialscientist about this and possible Sock violations. COI is something I take very seriously. Although I have UCO and you have ESU close to our hearts, and we will always take great care of these articles. We also look after other areas especially other MIAA schools. No person can be completely unbiased and we each have our favorites, but blatant promotion is something we do not stand for, and something we cannot allow. If these sources can be properly cited I am all for elaboration on a topic. It is my goal to eventually get UCO, UCO Bronchos, UCO football, UCO lists, Wantland Stadium, HFH, and even UCentral etc. upgraded talk page classes and even up to Featured status if at all possible. But I don't think that unsourced, and unfair advertising is the way to get info out there. UCO2009bluejay ( talk) 22:35, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

I love the humor in this [6]. I wanted to see what you thought. UCO2009bluejay ( talk) 21:42, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
Corky, I've reverted this change: [7]. Four or five years ago, when we were implementing the then-new uniform football navboxes, several editors wanted to use a completely uniform color scheme for the football navboxes, inside and out. I argued against this, using the Gators as an example that for some color schemes it simply looked better when the box interiors reversed the colors. People missed and moaned, but everyone was afraid that if every box weren't 100% the same, that it would somehow lead to constant tampering, etc. Anyhow, the long and the short of it was that the University of Florida and the Florida Gators sports programs had a well-developed family of boxes that already used the reverse color scheme for the box interiors. We went along with the "all blue with orange highlights" scheme for the football box for the sake of keeping peace in the family; all the rest of the UF boxes retained their original blue outside, orange inside scheme, as they always had.

BTW, I hate the new Florida State colors -- what were they thinking?

Dirtlawyer1: please see { this}. I did some messing around with the FSU colors on an example template in my sandbox and I don't think it's an optical illusion (Although it still could be!) The secondary color w/the module shows that green color and when I don't use the template, the #CEB888 shows the gold. The templates will explain everything... Corky | Chat? 21:43, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello, You have deleted the names of editors of the British news programme Newsnight, so there are now gaps. The last gap - from 1997-2001 is the period when the only female editor, Sian Kevill, was editor. Since this is a significant programme, which still airs, it would be useful to have a complete list of its editors, and not delete them because one or two do not have their own page. Would you agree? Thank you, and keep up the good work In the meantime, I will add her back in. Jeremy — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeremyNye ( talk • contribs) 20:23, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi Corkythehornetfan, my name is SeminoleNation and I think the work you did with gathering the official logos was awesome. I think you're a great editor and I wanted to personally ask you for guidance in finding an official FSU Seminoles logo back on the page because apparently another editor had a problem with it. Could you please help me out?-- SeminoleNation ( talk) 16:20, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
Hey, SeminoleNation. I'm one of Corky's talk page stalkers. The Seminole head logo, like the Gator head logo, is a trademarked and copyrighted image owned by the university, and as such is subject to Wikipedia's non-free image policy per WP:NFCC. There was a Big Stink several years ago over the use of the Gator head logo, which at the time was being used on the Florida Gators athletic program article, all 16 of the primary articles for the Gators sports teams, all rivalry articles, all season articles, all bowl game articles, etc. All told, it was literally being used on close to 100 articles. The NFCC copyvio people were going nuts because use of non-free images is supposed to be extremely limited, justified in each use as irreplaceable, and documented in each case with a "fair use rationale" (FUR). I fought it tooth and nail, so that the logo could at least be used on the sports program and each of the 16 primary team articles. Ultimately, after a lot of back and forth, etc., the compromise was struck that we would purge the Gator head logo from all of the season, rivalry, and bowl game articles, and they would shut up and leave the primary team articles alone. As far as I know the Gator head logo is used more than any other NCAA non-free team logo, but its paperwork is in order, and each of the current 17 uses has a properly written FUR on the File:Florida Gators logo.svg. Suffice it to say, we've done our part to maintain the compromise; we strip the Gator head logo from any rivalry, bowl game or season article when some newbie adds it, and we use the free-image script Gators logo on everything but the primary team articles. Ping me if you have any questions. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 18:34, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I see that you removed Carol Martin from the list of former Weekend Today personnel. Are you saying that she wasn't there, or that she's not notable? If she was there but not deemed notable (and I'm not sure I agree with that), then the list is incomplete and should be retitled "Notable" former personnel. I get the idea of WP:LISTPEOPLE, but given that there haven't been all that many anchors in the weekend show's history, I'm not sure there's any reason to have anything other than a complete list without judgment as to their notability.

Thank you for adjusting the team colors at {{ Cleveland Cavaliers}} to allow for greater contrast & accessibility. I did notice, however, that you are at least occasionally using 3-character web color codes rather than the full 6-character hex color codes (e.g., #FFF instead of #FFFFFF for white). If greater accessibility is your goal, please note that some web browsers may have had difficulty recognizing these shortened color codes in the recent past. See comment from my talk page here.

I changed the color change you made to CC0000 back to what I had just changed it to the other day. SIUE's Wordmark and Logo Policy lists the color as Pantone (PMS)485, which converts to hex da291c which is just a bit darker than the red (FF0000) that was previously used or the university red (CC0000) that you used. It is not nearly as dark as the crimson-red SIUE used some years ago, but someone at some point decided to go a bit lighter. GWFrog ( talk) 01:27, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
SIUE's Wordmark and Logo Policy is on www.siue.edu and does not give a hex equivalent... I see now where your ref (which I was looking for & not finding) says that "The HEX equivalent for PMS 485 is: #cc0000." Lacking that statement, I referenced http://rgb.to/pantone/485-c which shows it as da291c among the 8 different color code equivalents listed... Going beyond that since earlier, http://encycolorpedia.com/ has it as cc0c00, which is close to cc0000 but not quite the same... Whatever, when I changed it from FF0000, there was a noticeable difference which is also seen with cc0000... GWFrog ( talk) 02:02, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Regarding your recent edit on Great Midwest Athletic Conference, I believe the formatting in that particular type of infobox may have changed. So, your edit left the link, no longer linkable.

I was wondering if you knew where to find official ( MLB.com) HEX/HTML/ Pantone color information for the Miami Marlins? I keep trying to edit the Marlins' article to show FF6600 (which is Pantone 1585 C and actually reflects the Marlins' orange color) for Orange, but User:Y2kcrazyjoker4 ( talk • contributions) keeps undoing my edits. He claims the HEX/HTML/Pantone color for Orange is F9423A (which is Pantone Warm Red C and looks nothing like orange). The sources I've used come from MLB.com, and can be found here, here, and here. Y2kcrazyjoker4's only source is Colorwerx.net, which I believe is inaccurate. He won't leave it alone unless I can provide a style/logo/branding sheet, which is only found at MLBStyleGuide.com (and a website for which I don't have credentials, because it's apparently for business partners of MLB only).

I was wondering why you reverted my edits for about 5 different National Basketball Association (NBA) team templates? Is yellow/gold a hard color?

You shouldn't have create a new page for the Santa Clara logo.

Regarding your recent changes to Georgia Southwestern State University, I have a few questions/comments. 1. Why are college and university seals showing up on their respective pages? Most, if not all, schools do NOT use their seal to promote their university. In Georgia Southwestern's case, it makes more sense to use it's primary logo to properly foster its brand. 2. Georgia Southwestern's colors are not simply "Navy" and "Gold." The proper Hex color values are listed after the colors, but nowhere in the school's cited brand guidelines are those generic color names given. It makes more since to give a specific color value. 3. Why did you remove the reference to the Rosalynn Carter Institute's Operation Family Caregiver with web citations? 4. Why copy and paste the link above each section if the copyright policy warning will show? Thanks for your time. -- SowegaAM06 ( talk) 18:46, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

I left the following message for the IP user who was making mistaken edits to the Speaker article. I looked at it again just now and decided that the user was not being disruptive, he was merely mistaken. In fact, I did not leave any warning messages aside from a special note because I thought he was probably in good faith at the outset. I also left a modified welcome message with links. I thought you might be interested in my message to the user.
"I am sorry this was not clarified earlier. You are correct that Cannon served four terms but the table does not count the entire time between taking and leaving office. Otherwise, most of the time periods in the table would be somewhat the same in two-year increments. The table only includes the days that the person was Speaker while Congress was in session. The introductory text to the table states: "Time after adjournment of one Congress but before the convening of the next Congress is not counted." So while you were correct as to the number of terms Cannon had, you were mistaken as to what the table shows: the number of days he was in office while Congress was in session. I hope this will not discourage you from making constructive edits to Wikipedia." Donner60 ( talk) 21:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
Corky, is there any significant coverage in independent sources for this game series as a rivalry? This article creator seems hell-bent on starting a new article for every SEC game series, and has had several deleted for lack of notability as a rivalry. One AfD is pending. I saw that you edited the article today, and wanted to talk to you before PROD'ing it and/or nominating for AfD. Please advise. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 00:09, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Is it really necessary to link the official website to the specific section about KOMO-TV? As KOMO operates a news department, they have to display the news as the main part of the website. I don't think there's a requirement on Wikipedia to link TV stations' websites to the specific link about them, and many other stations' articles have websites where the news is displayed when on the basic URL.
By the way, you're welcome. With Sinclair being a large corporation, it didn't surprise me to have their website not updated when the new logo was first broadcast. SmartAn01 ( talk) 02:16, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Seen you around, but never really interacted. From my understanding, links in the Infobox are separate from links in the body, and thus don't come under any sanction in WP:OVERLINK unless there is more than one in there. The IP user has been adding it to some TV stations, removing it from others - I am aiming for consistency here. Before you continue to revert me, let's discuss it. By the way, this reversion [26] reintroduced a typo the IP made. Scr★pIron IV 13:30, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
@ ScrapIronIV: Sorry for not responding sooner, I had to leave for a few hours. I had planned on commenting on your talk page when I returned. In the An example article section, bullet #3 says: do not link to the "United States", because that is an article on a very broad topic with no direct connection to supply and demand. That's what I was going off of, which leads me to the question: is that only for the body, not the infobox? If it is different, then please forgive me as I misunderstood it.

Hey, I was wondering why you are trying to delete the seals I put up on the schools within Buffalo again. I'm just doing this based on other schools I've seen. For example /info/en/?search=Cornell_University .Just so I can keep this short, the pages at Cornell University's departments have a seal the same way I used. /info/en/?search=Cornell_University_College_of_Human_Ecology , /info/en/?search=Cornell_University_College_of_Veterinary_Medicine . Its on top of the articles page and an University seal which make it fair use and I see nothing wrong with it. Many other University's do the same exact thing. Thanks AlaskanNativeRU ( talk) 17:10, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Okay fair enough. What makes it not free? It's an University seal just how all other universities have.

Corky, please see the discussion on the University of Florida talk page and file talk page for the logo. If you have any questions, ping me. The bottom line is that the Gator head logo is already one of the most used non-free images on Wikipedia, and we don't want to do anything that would jeopardize the existing compromise that allowed us to use it on all of the Florida Gators primary team articles. I appreciate your understanding of this situation. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 05:55, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. Maybe someone from the Government Department will add the information for the Sacramento Semester program. I was lucky enough to be an intern in 1986 and they still have anniversary events. It's a great program and a shame it has never been added to this page as a University asset.
As to the name change...all the alumni literature, marketing and logos have referred to the school as Sacramento State University since 2004 and you would be hard pressed to find any California State University, Sacramento references in the bookstore or apparel. As noticed at football games we have no consistency in name, shade of green, hornet logo or mascot so maybe the confusion on names on this page is something they don't have a problem with.
Thought I could help steer this page into the latest name but actually this had taken up more time that I care to spend on it.

I started looking for the official Hex and/or Pantone colors for your Eastern Kentucky example, and I found this, [27], for starters. For the record, I note the Florida Gators hex colors listed are wrong, but perhaps it will be of some use to you, at least as a starting point. What I was really looking for was something like the University of Florida's official "Brand Center" identity page at [28], which includes both the official Hex and Pantone colors.

Since you obviously didn't know what I was talking about, I decided to help you out. Here are some links to university articles with lyrics. They are The Orange and Blue, We Are the Boys from Old Florida, Florida_International_University, UCF Knights, University of South Florida Herd of Thunder, Florida Atlantic Owls, University of West Florida, Carmen Ohio, Clemson University, Louisiana State University, Louisiana State University traditions, Louisiana State University Tiger Marching Band, LSU Alma Mater, Bright College Years, and OU Chant just to name a few. I've gone ahead and put every single one of those articles on my watchlist and I hope that you will continue your work and finish this within the week. You told me that "most lyrics have been removed from the articles" and this is definitely not true. I really hope you aren't just targeting Florida State University.

'Fan, I saw your notice that you will probably leave editing Wikipedia by the end of the year. I for one will miss you. Anyhow I wanted to contact you weeks ago, but the first time I checked the article on the Hornets football season wasn't until the morning of the game that the Hornets lost to Fort Hays State, before that they were undefeated. And I felt that I jinxed them considering that I waited all that time to check on the Hornets and then they lost that game. So, I waited until now to contact you, after the end of the season. With a second place finish in the conference we should be pretty confident they will make the playoffs. The selection show is tomorrow, it will air on ncaa.com at 5pm ET/ 4pm CT. My Bloomsburg Huskies lost a few weeks back to a team they have not lost to in a decade, it was a critical loss so they will not be making the playoffs. As for James Madison they were 7-0 until their star QB got injured in the eighth game, they lost that one and the next. They recovered today with a victory over Delaware, a big rival. JMU got the winning touchdown with 20 seconds left in the game. It was heart attack city. Anyhow, sorry for going so long. I wanted to let you know about a couple of things on the MIAA football season and the Emporia State fb season articles that you can easily fix with Twinkle. I'll let you know in the next post.

This is an online encyclopedia and you are removing a bunch of FACTS. What is the purpose of this damn website if you can't put anything in the damn articles? You are making every article look terrible especially the college of business one. What is wrong with this website? It's an ENCYCLOPEDIA for christ's sake. You left a heading with "The college of business offers masters degrees". Are you kidding me right now? I clearly elaborated on the subject but according to you we can't elaborate now?

Agreed 13,500 articles on your watch list is way too much :-), and I'm just about to hit that number as my edit number, took only nine and a half years to do it... :-). Anyhow I made the edits on the PSAC articles, I saw your tweak to my edit at Mansfield Univ., I used that and applied it to the rest of the PSAC East schools. Good collaborative effort. But check out the article title on West Chester Univ. Also I wanted to discuss the editing of a certain editor, and how I might handle it, I won't use names if you prefer. It basically comes down to what I saw at the top of the MOS "use common sense." I've let the issue ride for well over a year, at the time of the issue an editor you know also wrote on his talk page addressing pretty much the same issue, both of us received no response whatsoever. I checked the article in question a few months back and the edit history of the article shows basically him just reverting anyone else's edits. The issue is really a small one and the only reason I'm reminded of it is that this pain editor was right below me on the edit count the other day, and on that same day, the other editor who also had a beef with him was conversing here on your talk page in your defense on the FSU issue. Other than that I had pretty much forgotten about it. If you don't want to discuss it, let me know that and it's forgotten, no problem. Freddiem ( talk) 00:18, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
Corkythehornetfan, I noticed you've made a number of edits to introduce font tags into the titles of navboxes, e.g. Template:Pittsburg State Gorillas football coach navbox. I was under the impression that these font tags were deprecated, and that the preferred way to format colors there was to use span tags or templates that employ spans tags, like Template:White.

Another user had done this with all NCAA Division II conference navboxes, which is when I noticed the white underline. If it is wrong, then I will revert my edits... I just thought having that underline in white is helpful (so you can tell it's a link), as well as saving time when typing. The white underline helps in navboxes that have a dark colored background. 🎄 Corkythe

Corky, I have not the slightest idea what was the problem with my recent edit to KCBS-TV, since it was factual and documentable and, as you were kind and generous enough to write, in "good faith." I edit Wikipedia very seldom, and only when I think something is missing; what I added was. Whatever did not meet Wikipedia's arcane guidelines for such a trivial edit, I've no idea. This doesn't really interest me enough to converse about, though I was curious enough about it to message you. I'm sure more engaged editors than me would bring me up to speed.

Posted to User talk:Curioushavedape and User talk:Corkythehornetfan. Please don't clutter the page history with a slow motion edit war. You've got two reasonable logo images, discuss it together on talk. Let me know if you want a third opinion.
Also don't WP:REVTALK. Using edit summaries to discuss or debate isn't good. My tip/trick: If you're making the same edit a second time then you know someone disagrees with it. Be the first to post your explanation on talk page, make the edit, and use the edit summary to point the other person to the explanation on Talk. That establishes you as the cooperative editor initiating discussion, with the convenient bonus that your preferred version generally stays in place during the discussion.

Corky, I believe we are talking about two entirely different things regarding this subject. I have added names to a directory that ALREADY exists. The additions are correct and current. "Notability" has not a thing to do with this, as it marginally might be with station "alumni" and former personalities. If Wikipedia is not in the business of offering directories, then should not the whole existing list be removed? How could an incomplete and thus incorrect listing of anchors be allowed to remain? I mean, for example, if there were a list of US Senators, would several states' representatives be left off the roster? And just who determines "notability" -- and on what basis? Lantana11 ( talk) 07:45, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
Corkythehornetfan, regarding our conversation on this KCBS-TV anchor list, I sincerely hope that my comments did not convey any disrespectful or even insouciant tone. I do understand the points you made and, on the occasions when I do edit articles, follow them. I suppose I was trying to say that I do complain sometimes that the Wiki guidelines, in the pursuit of correctness, essential, take a follow-the-letter-but-miss-the-spirit kind of turn. But I may well be wrong, and what I think doesn't matter much anyhow. I'm glad Wiki is what it is, and I'm very sorry for any contentiousness. Thanks for the time, Nick Lantana11 ( talk) 06:29, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
At the time you posted, "Yes, they dont mert those requirements. ill post on talk page my reason later when I'm on a computer.", diff, you knew that there was no consensus to change the article, and your edit comment is not a response to the reasons for the restoration of consensus. The statement "they don't mert those requirements" is incoherent. In the WP:BRD sequence, the discussion occurs after the first revert, not after a second revert. So you also changed the article while stipulating that discussion was needed and in disregard of WP:BRD. I propose that you self-revert. Unscintillating ( talk) 23:59, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
“ | Lists of people must meet the criteria listed at WP:LISTPEOPLE. This isn't the first station article this has been discussed on, nor will it be the last. Articles have been protected to prevent these additions, or the editors in question blocked when they persistently continue to reinsert inappropriate material. If a name is included in the article in this way, it has to show that it's relevant to the subject by meeting WP:LISTPEOPLE. Just because a station lists its employees doesn't mean Wikipedia needs to as well, and other station articles needing similar cleanup doesn't mean this one doesn't need to be cleaned up, because whenever it's actually discussed on a station article, the end result is the same; the names that don't meet WP:LISTPEOPLE are removed. Wikipedia is also not a directory. See here, here, and here for previous discussions about this. I'm not sure why WP:LISTPEOPLE would not be appropriate like User:Unscintillating said, but he must have a pretty darn good reason as to why it doesn't apply here. | ” |

NOTE: I also believe that the rules surrounding things like correspondents and on air personnel should be changed. The newer channels do not have the bigger names like the older ones and deleting names that do not have pages yet (I'm working on that) gives an appearance of things being different than they actually are. If they are hosting they are notable for at least that. Also if they are the main feature of a program such as News (Al Jazeera America) it does not make sense to get rid of them as it then does not give an accurate picture of the program ( Mo2010 ( talk) 9:27, 9 December 2014 (UTC))

I have a couple of questions regarding your recent edit of the "CBS Evening News" Wikipedia page.
1) Is there a reason as to why the airing times of this program were completely removed?
2) In regards to the following sentence:
"For viewers in the Pacific Time Zone, CBS broadcasts a separate "Western Edition" live, an hour after the main broadcast, in Pacific Time which is tape delayed to viewers in Alaska & Hawaii."
If the East coast edition airs live at 6:30pm ET and a separate "Western" edition airs live at 6:30pm PT (which would be 9:30pm ET), how can you state that the Western edition airs one hour after the East coast airing? Should that sentence actually say "three hours after the main broadcast"? Unless.....the Western Edition is NOT live but actually pre-recorded at 7:30pm ET?

I'm not sure who the comment dated November 10, 2014 on the 2014–15 Abilene Christian Wildcats women's basketball team Wiki page advising to check for a logo prior to creating one was directed at, but since my username is the predominant one on the page, I am assuming it was directed at me.
If the intent was to direct the comment to me, I can assure you that it is misdirected. The original logo with the misspelling for Abilene was already on an existing Abilene Christian Wikipedia page when I created the new seasonal page. Anyway thanks for the logo update. Same with some of the other logos files you have changed on other pages.

Dear Corkythehornetfan,
I thought I'd message you on your on Talk page as per the guidelines. I received a message stating that my "edits appear to be disruptive" and a note from you saying "please quit adding them; if not, you may be blocked" Please can I confirm that it was not my intention to cause conflict in this matter. I thought I was doing the right thing by re-adding them ('re-adding' being the key word; I wasn't adding them from scratch as the names were already there and have been for a substantial amount of time) but you've suggested otherwise. Let me assure you that I have taken your advice on-board from the 'Talk' section of the R4 page and shall no longer re-add any of the names without any 3rd party sources. However, I don't appreciate the implication that I went out my way to be disruptive as that certainly wasn't the case; I'm sure there are plenty of users on here who go out their way to abuse page content, but that certainly doesn't line up with what I was doing. I ask you, please, to appreciate the fact that my edits held no bad intentions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.19.152.79 ( talk) 20:10, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

In the case of the Drexel basketball page, there is no reason to not have the box scores listed as a source along with the final scores of games. There are many major basketball programs that have the box scores included on their team schedule, especially a number of those whose schedules includes the stat leaders in points, rebounds, and assists for each game. While a number of team's schedules do not include the box scores, from what I have seen more pages are adding these box scores over the past few seasons. It does no harm to the page and simply adds a source of information for otherwise unsourced material. By the way, I was responding to your edits via the talk page for the team. I didn't mean to ignore you in any way. In retrospect, I should have contacted you via your talk page and discussed more. If you feel it is necessary I do not have any problem with opening a discussion on WP:WikiProject College basketball. Hopefully it will draw a more universal conclusion as to which format to standardize since it is apparently inconsistent among many team pages.

If you can, please call our main phone number located on our mojo brands media website and let them know you are calling about Wiki (they'll know how to find me).
Also, since you seem to have a handle on this - how can i find out about this edit "22:07, 21 December 2014 50.137.204.38 (talk)"? I'm trying to find out who is sabotaging our page...thanks! Ng35k ( talk) 20:31, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

What's up Corkythehornet fan!
Thank you for holding me accountable on my Colorado Buffaloes alternate logo image. I fully understand the rule of an orphaned non-free image, however this image does not fall under this category. The following pages show where this image is used: 2014–15 Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team, 2013–14 Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team, 2012–13 Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team, 2011–12 Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team, 2010–11 Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team, 2014–15 Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team, Colorado Buffaloes, 2010 Colorado Buffaloes football team, 2011 Colorado Buffaloes football team, 2012 Colorado Buffaloes football team, 2013 Colorado Buffaloes football team, 2014 Colorado Buffaloes football team.
Unless you know something that I don't, it is to my knowledge that this is not an orphaned non-free image. Please let me know if you have any more concerns, I am more than happy to talk about it. Thanks! -- NJ Jurrjens ( talk) 03:22, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
Not sure how AWB picked that up, gonna report that as a bug. Thanks for noticing and reverting.-- ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 23:33, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
Had you considered how rude your repeated deletion of of good faith edits WP:GOODFAITH appears.
The edit is not a case of wp:vandalism:
"a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia"
&
"Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism. Careful consideration may be required to differentiate between edits that are beneficial, detrimental but well-intentioned, and vandalizing. Mislabelling good-faith edits as vandalism can be considered harmful."
Vandalism would call for reversion.
Wikpedia policy also says
"In some cases, editors may object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references; consider adding a citation needed tag as an interim step."
That is the normal first response to an un-cited claim, flag it citation needed, the fact that I did cite it that way, plus my comments indicated I am working on it should have stopped you deleting it, see Wikipedia:Revert_only_when_necessary.
"Revert vandalism upon sight but revert an edit made in good faith only after careful consideration. It is usually preferable to make an edit that retains at least some elements of a prior edit than to revert the prior edit. Furthermore, your bias should be toward keeping the entire edit. "
Just because I have a different editing style does not give you the right to remove content. That is also Wikipedia policy.
"Perfection is not required: Wikipedia is a work in progress. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles."
However I may choose the first rule, WP:Ignore All Rules. ˥ Ǝ Ʉ H Ɔ I Ɯ ( talk) 23:48, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
I just saw your question on my commons talk page, I pretty much don't go on that side except for image viewing. GACLocations came from the NCAA D2 Basketball Map. I cropped it and used paint to erase locations not in the GAC, very carefully along state lines, then modified the dot size and names for the locations. You won't have to worry about it but I also combined and slightly adjusted the dots for Henderson State and Ouachia Baptist since they are separated only by a 2-lane state highway in Arkadelphia. I had to use the basketball map because Oklahoma Baptist is not on the NCAA D2 Football Map. Although my GAC map does not show OKBU, I have an update ready to upload on July 1 when they officially join the conference. For your work on the MIAA, the football map would be easier to use. The GAC map was fairly easy to make, hope this helps. Msjraz64 ( talk) 03:35, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Corkythehornetfan,
Hello, your recent addition to the article of the NSU Riverhawks page (Woo! GO RIVERHAWKS!) fight song is an understandably wrong change. I am a senior of our beloved NSU and have a 2011 Chevy spark (green and white) with our schools logo and mascot emblazoned onto the front hood and windows. My car horn plays the tune of our fight song. We here at our homely town of Tahlequah know our school song by heart and is a right of passage growing up in these here parts. I attend and rally my friends during every basketball, football, foosball, ultimate frisbee, and volleyball(but we watch it for the players [the men look nice in short shorts]). Once when I was a child my father beat me for getting saying a word wrong and I learned after the third beating to pronounce my words correctly. I am a Riverhawk through and through, I will have you know that I sing our fight song regularly on weekends and holidays as well as every game....I know for a fact that it is STANCH not this word staunch you are making up. -Best regards, William Nickers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.173.33.236 ( talk) 20:15, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I was going to ask for assistance on this matter for clarification. I know the NSIC and (for Mankato) the WCHA call the Mavericks "Minnesota State" but otherwise the two schools are generally known as, including ncaa.com, "Minnesota State-M...". This was clearly evident during the football championship in Kansas City. I believe this is a COMMONNAME issue similar to Louisiana-Lafayette. Also, should the Mavericks team page be moved back to "Minnesota State–Mankato Mavericks" per COMMONNAME? Although I know the difference in the schools, I almost always get confused when I see just "Minnesota State". Thanks for the help. Msjraz64 ( talk) 20:38, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

I was aware that there was discussion on the dropping of state in MSSU, and MWSU for athletics, but I was unaware of any conclusions. Normally I believe we are on much the same page and during your attempted ESU Hornets rename I was completely behind you. However, I was wondering about the TSU/Truman Bulldogs and the MIAA States. I know the Athletic Depts use "Missouri Western," and "Missouri Southern," but I am concerned with WP:Commonname. It may be due to UCO being new to the conference, but in radio/the Vista (newspaper) KFOR [3], etc. seem to use "State." ESPN is much less conclusive [4]. I trust your judgement and I haven't reverted such edits. However, I do believe that a [WP:Commonname] consensus discussion may be necessary, if for nothing else to resolve this issue. It could be as simple as a Middle Tennessee, and Bowling Green (State) issue, and not a U(Louisiana)-Lafayette. I have no preference either way, but do think that a discussion is inevitable. Regards.

On March 15th you changed the colors for the UAB Blazers athletics teams. The changes are erroneous and will be corrected. The colors you wrongly assumed were correct are indeed the official colors of the University itself, but not the colors used by the Department of Athletics at UAB, as evidenced on page 6 of the official media guide for the 2014-15 men's basketball team at this link ... http://issuu.com/uabsports/docs/guide2014-15
The official colors of the athletic teams are Forest Green and Old Gold. Yes there is a reason for the differing colors which involved former athletic director Gene Bartow and his desire for more consistency of the gold color in discussions with the uniform manufacturer at the time, Russell Athletics. He was told that the shade of bright yellow gold the Blazers wore at the time was not a standard color and would vary from run to run. At that time (1991) the school and athletic department decided to drop the gold from the official colors (which were the same for both at that time) to forest green and white. Subsequently Russell Athletic came back to the school with a solution to the "gold" problem...if UAB would choose a commonly used golden shade (they chose the old gold worn by Georgia Tech), it could be consistently guaranteed. At that point Coach Bartow restored the shade of old gold to the athletic departments official colors as it remains today. The school itself did not re-institute gold and have since tweeked the green to a shade closer to evergreen. A change that was not matched by the athletics department. The previously listed colors were the correct colors and have been/will be restored.
Please do not attempt to change things you have an incomplete knowledge off and have not thoroughly researched. I have opened a discussion of this issue on the main UAB wiki page.
FYI: The official UAB athletic hex colors from the UAB athletics website are listed below:
Green - #006645 Gold - #D2C476 White - #ffffff
These hex colors may be verified by investigating the style guide of the official UAB athletics department webpages at www.uabsports.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blazerjay ( talk • contribs) 04:25, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

I've uploaded a full-sized cropped version of the Logo for KCNC-TV, just so it reaches your attention. If you still feel that the logo needs to be "Reduced" (even though it's apparently not a Non-Free image), then I guess you may revert it back to the prior version you had just uploaded earlier today…Because the image doesn't seem to qualify for copyright/Non-Free status, I'm uncertain and unsure about why it would still need to be reduced, as I'm sort of new here at Wikipedia (although, I do know that I upload complicated-looking logo images as Non-Free Images)… DizzyMosquitoRadio99 ( talk) 14:30, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Corky, do you have time to start checking a sizable number of the college football player articles that use Template:Infobox college football player over the next couple of days?

Hi Corky, I can tell you that both Steve Grote and Dan Spika were part of NBC's college basketball coverage. Grote was a member of Michigan's 1976 national runner up basketball team. In 1981 Grote replaced Fred Taylor on NBC's Big Ten telecast with Bob Costas his broadcast partner. After that season, Grote joined CBS's college basketball broadcasts, with Taylor rejoining NBC and being paired with Costas. Dan Spika was a former player and coach at North Texas, and replaced Rudy Davalos as Frank Fallon's broadcast partner on Southwest Conference games on NBC in 1982. I hope this helps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celticsfellow ( talk • contribs) 15:39, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Corky, I've reverted this change: [7]. Four or five years ago, when we were implementing the then-new uniform football navboxes, several editors wanted to use a completely uniform color scheme for the football navboxes, inside and out. I argued against this, using the Gators as an example that for some color schemes it simply looked better when the box interiors reversed the colors. People missed and moaned, but everyone was afraid that if every box weren't 100% the same, that it would somehow lead to constant tampering, etc. Anyhow, the long and the short of it was that the University of Florida and the Florida Gators sports programs had a well-developed family of boxes that already used the reverse color scheme for the box interiors. We went along with the "all blue with orange highlights" scheme for the football box for the sake of keeping peace in the family; all the rest of the UF boxes retained their original blue outside, orange inside scheme, as they always had.

Could you please help me out?-- SeminoleNation ( talk) 16:20, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
Hey, SeminoleNation. I'm one of Corky's talk page stalkers. The Seminole head logo, like the Gator head logo, is a trademarked and copyrighted image owned by the university, and as such is subject to Wikipedia's non-free image policy per WP:NFCC. There was a Big Stink several years ago over the use of the Gator head logo, which at the time was being used on the Florida Gators athletic program article, all 16 of the primary articles for the Gators sports teams, all rivalry articles, all season articles, all bowl game articles, etc. All told, it was literally being used on close to 100 articles. The NFCC copyvio people were going nuts because use of non-free images is supposed to be extremely limited, justified in each use as irreplaceable, and documented in each case with a "fair use rationale" (FUR). I fought it tooth and nail, so that the logo could at least be used on the sports program and each of the 16 primary team articles. Ultimately, after a lot of back and forth, etc., the compromise was struck that we would purge the Gator head logo from all of the season, rivalry, and bowl game articles, and they would shut up and leave the primary team articles alone. As far as I know the Gator head logo is used more than any other NCAA non-free team logo, but its paperwork is in order, and each of the current 17 uses has a properly written FUR on the File:Florida Gators logo.svg. Suffice it to say, we've done our part to maintain the compromise; we strip the Gator head logo from any rivalry, bowl game or season article when some newbie adds it, and we use the free-image script Gators logo on everything but the primary team articles.

If greater accessibility is your goal, please note that some web browsers may have had difficulty recognizing these shortened color codes in the recent past. See comment from my talk page here.

Hello Corky, I was wondering if there is a current template on Wikipedia that would allow a user to update each National Football League (NFL) team's color data, similar to Module:Basketball color/data? I'm trying to update each NFL team's articles with accurate HTML color information. Thanks. Charlesaaronthompson ( talk) 05:32, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
I changed the color change you made to CC0000 back to what I had just changed it to the other day. SIUE's Wordmark and Logo Policy lists the color as Pantone (PMS)485, which converts to hex da291c which is just a bit darker than the red (FF0000) that was previously used or the university red (CC0000) that you used. It is not nearly as dark as the crimson-red SIUE used some years ago, but someone at some point decided to go a bit lighter. GWFrog ( talk) 01:27, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
SIUE's Wordmark and Logo Policy is on www.siue.edu and does not give a hex equivalent... I see now where your ref (which I was looking for & not finding) says that "The HEX equivalent for PMS 485 is: #cc0000." Lacking that statement, I referenced http://rgb.to/pantone/485-c which shows it as da291c among the 8 different color code equivalents listed... Going beyond that since earlier, http://encycolorpedia.com/ has it as cc0c00, which is close to cc0000 but not quite the same... Whatever, when I changed it from FF0000, there was a noticeable difference which is also seen with cc0000... GWFrog ( talk) 02:02, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Regarding your recent edit on Great Midwest Athletic Conference, I believe the formatting in that particular type of infobox may have changed. So, your edit left the link, no longer linkable.

I meant to put back the US in front of the dollar sign in the UF article haha completely forgot. Anyways, I looked up the official signature on the Florida State University brand website and they have the real official signature NOT the seal that you might think I uploaded. There are variations of it though which one do you think I should put up. The current one is over 15 years old and completely outdated. I work hard to keep this page looking nice and updated.

Thank you for doing some up-keep on the article! One caveat, why did you remove the title of "Dr." from Kyle Marrero on the infobox (under President)? He has a doctorate, and is commonly referred to by that title. Previous presidents have been similarly referred to as "Dr. Firstname Lastname" on this page.

I was wondering if you knew where to find official ( MLB.com) HEX/HTML/ Pantone color information for the Miami Marlins? I keep trying to edit the Marlins' article to show FF6600 (which is Pantone 1585 C and actually reflects the Marlins' orange color) for Orange, but User:Y2kcrazyjoker4 ( talk • contributions) keeps undoing my edits. He claims the HEX/HTML/Pantone color for Orange is F9423A (which is Pantone Warm Red C and looks nothing like orange). The sources I've used come from MLB.com, and can be found here, here, and here. Y2kcrazyjoker4's only source is Colorwerx.net, which I believe is inaccurate. He won't leave it alone unless I can provide a style/logo/branding sheet, which is only found at MLBStyleGuide.com (and a website for which I don't have credentials, because it's apparently for business partners of MLB only).

I was wondering why you reverted my edits for about 5 different National Basketball Association (NBA) team templates? Is yellow/gold a hard color?

Hey, I was wondering if you could add the bordered NFL team colors to the template?

You shouldn't have create a new page for the Santa Clara logo. If you go to the current logo page on Santa Clara Broncos athletics logo.gif, you would see at the bottom of the page it states "Upload a new version of this file."

Regarding your recent changes to Georgia Southwestern State University, I have a few questions/comments. 1. Why are college and university seals showing up on their respective pages? Most, if not all, schools do NOT use their seal to promote their university. In Georgia Southwestern's case, it makes more sense to use it's primary logo to properly foster its brand. 2. Georgia Southwestern's colors are not simply "Navy" and "Gold." The proper Hex color values are listed after the colors, but nowhere in the school's cited brand guidelines are those generic color names given. It makes more since to give a specific color value. 3. Why did you remove the reference to the Rosalynn Carter Institute's Operation Family Caregiver with web citations? 4. Why copy and paste the link above each section if the copyright policy warning will show? Thanks for your time. -- SowegaAM06 ( talk) 18:46, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

I left the following message for the IP user who was making mistaken edits to the Speaker article. I looked at it again just now and decided that the user was not being disruptive, he was merely mistaken. In fact, I did not leave any warning messages aside from a special note because I thought he was probably in good faith at the outset. I also left a modified welcome message with links. I thought you might be interested in my message to the user.
"I am sorry this was not clarified earlier. You are correct that Cannon served four terms but the table does not count the entire time between taking and leaving office. Otherwise, most of the time periods in the table would be somewhat the same in two-year increments. The table only includes the days that the person was Speaker while Congress was in session. The introductory text to the table states: "Time after adjournment of one Congress but before the convening of the next Congress is not counted." So while you were correct as to the number of terms Cannon had, you were mistaken as to what the table shows: the number of days he was in office while Congress was in session. I hope this will not discourage you from making constructive edits to Wikipedia." Donner60 ( talk) 21:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Is it really necessary to link the official website to the specific section about KOMO-TV? As KOMO operates a news department, they have to display the news as the main part of the website. I don't think there's a requirement on Wikipedia to link TV stations' websites to the specific link about them, and many other stations' articles have websites where the news is displayed when on the basic URL.

Seen you around, but never really interacted. From my understanding, links in the Infobox are separate from links in the body, and thus don't come under any sanction in WP:OVERLINK unless there is more than one in there.

Hey, I was wondering why you are trying to delete the seals I put up on the schools within Buffalo again. I'm just doing this based on other schools I've seen.

Thanks for the info. Maybe someone from the Government Department will add the information for the Sacramento Semester program. I was lucky enough to be an intern in 1986 and they still have anniversary events. It's a great program and a shame it has never been added to this page as a University asset.
As to the name change...all the alumni literature, marketing and logos have referred to the school as Sacramento State University since 2004 and you would be hard pressed to find any California State University, Sacramento references in the bookstore or apparel. As noticed at football games we have no consistency in name, shade of green, hornet logo or mascot so maybe the confusion on names on this page is something they don't have a problem with.

'Fan, I saw your notice that you will probably leave editing Wikipedia by the end of the year. I for one will miss you. Anyhow I wanted to contact you weeks ago, but the first time I checked the article on the Hornets football season wasn't until the morning of the game that the Hornets lost to Fort Hays State, before that they were undefeated. And I felt that I jinxed them considering that I waited all that time to check on the Hornets and then they lost that game. So, I waited until now to contact you, after the end of the season. With a second place finish in the conference we should be pretty confident they will make the playoffs. The selection show is tomorrow, it will air on ncaa.com at 5pm ET/ 4pm CT. My Bloomsburg Huskies lost a few weeks back to a team they have not lost to in a decade, it was a critical loss so they will not be making the playoffs. As for James Madison they were 7-0 until their star QB got injured in the eighth game, they lost that one and the next. They recovered today with a victory over Delaware, a big rival. JMU got the winning touchdown with 20 seconds left in the game. It was heart attack city. Anyhow, sorry for going so long. I wanted to let you know about a couple of things on the MIAA football season and the Emporia State fb season articles that you can easily fix with Twinkle. I'll let you know in the next post.

Agreed 13,500 articles on your watch list is way too much :-), and I'm just about to hit that number as my edit number, took only nine and a half years to do it... :-). Anyhow I made the edits on the PSAC articles, I saw your tweak to my edit at Mansfield Univ., I used that and applied it to the rest of the PSAC East schools. Good collaborative effort. But check out the article title on West Chester Univ. Also I wanted to discuss the editing of a certain editor, and how I might handle it, I won't use names if you prefer. It basically comes down to what I saw at the top of the MOS "use common sense." I've let the issue ride for well over a year, at the time of the issue an editor you know also wrote on his talk page addressing pretty much the same issue, both of us received no response whatsoever. I checked the article in question a few months back and the edit history of the article shows basically him just reverting anyone else's edits. The issue is really a small one and the only reason I'm reminded of it is that this pain editor was right below me on the edit count the other day, and on that same day, the other editor who also had a beef with him was conversing here on your talk page in your defense on the FSU issue. Other than that I had pretty much forgotten about it. If you don't want to discuss it, let me know that and it's forgotten, no problem. Freddiem ( talk) 00:18, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
Corkythehornetfan, I noticed you've made a number of edits to introduce font tags into the titles of navboxes, e.g. Template:Pittsburg State Gorillas football coach navbox.
