Talk:Minnesota–Wisconsin football rivalry

Comment

Much of this article outiside of the intro seems to be copy/pasted from the GopherSports.com (see Sources section)article on the subject and then changed slightly. The text in question was added on 9 June 2006. Davidt2718 19:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

New Page needed

There needs to be a "UW-UM/UM-UW rivalry" page created, with the "Slab of Bacon" and "Paul Bunyan's Axe" pages cited with "main" links in subsections. Neither one of the current pages incorporates the full history of the rivalry (and it is a historic one). For listing purposes, the trophies should be cited in subsections of the overall rivalry page.

Should more information be added to this article? The gophersports article seems to have some decent info, but shouldn't just be plagiarized. Any good sources would be appreciated.Polkapolkapoker 00:24, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Why is there not a picture of the axe? It would be useful to know what it looked like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.87.237.180 (talk) 13:42, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:BuckyBadgerGraphic.gif

Image:BuckyBadgerGraphic.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 16:09, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Attention bot: (Will the bot's author even read this?) I will try to do that in the next couple of days (I'll have to read the fair use policy to see if it can be done for this image), but please note that deleting only that image gives more weight to Minnesota in this Minnesota-Wisconsin rivalry. If one goes, both go, fair use or not, simply for a balanced article.Polkapolkapoker 11:19, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:BuckyBadger.png

The image Image:BuckyBadger.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The new Axe

does anyone what year they replaced the orginial axe with current all wood (?) one. I believe it was sometime around 2005 but do not know the exact year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.169.161.1 (talk) 16:56, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

The orginial axe was retired after 2003 game and new axe was created for the 2004 game.[1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.169.161.1 (talk) 17:49, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Photo Requested - can I help?

I'm a current resident of Madison and a recent graduate from the UW, as well as photographer for The Daily Cardinal. I have some photos that may be helpful for this article, and am wondering about how best to make them available for use. Are there any particular shots that are wanted for it? hezy (talk to me) 19:49, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Requested move

Paul Bunyan's Axe → Minnesota–Wisconsin football rivalry – The rivalry has been almost renewed every year since 1890 except for 1906. That's well before either the Slab of Bacon or Paul Bunyan's Axe were created in 1930 and 1948, respectively. 71.211.193.144 (talk) 09:23, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
