:How do you receive those hex codes for the universities? The only reason I am asking is because this is different than how you did the NCAA navboxes. Schools have some sort of graphic standards which give the Hex code and PMS/CMYK/RGB codes. Going off of the logos would be inaccurate and you would have to go to the school's website to search for it. For those who do not produce some sort of graphic standards, you can go off of the logo. I've been updating some from the major conferences, as well. Most of the Division I schools use a template -- {{[[Template:CollegePrimaryStyle|CollegePrimaryStyle]]}} template. (i.e. <nowiki>{{CollegePrimaryStyle|Kansas Jayhawks}}</nowiki>). If they are in the navboxes already, you can''not'' override them. If they are not already, either you can put it in or believe that it will be put in soon.

:Usually, what I did was I [[Google Search|Google Searched]] "(school) official colors". Sometimes, the first result that came up was a brand identity guide put out by a specific university's web communications department. For example, I Google searched "university of north carolina official colors" (here is the url for that Google search: https://www.google.com/search?biw=1366&bih=657&noj=1&site=webhp&source=hp&q=university+of+north+carolina+official+colors&oq=university+of+north+carolina+official+colors&gs_l=hp.3..0j0i22i30l9.3159.10000.0.10202.50.47.2.1.1.0.194.4798.25j21.46.0.msedr...0...1c.1.62.hp..1.49.4810.tmxRPkQbmsU). The first result for that Google search was "Carolina Blue & Color Guidelines", and the url was http://identity.unc.edu/colors/)
That's how I found out what the hex codes were for North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I employed a similar method for the other universities and their associated athletic programs. From now on, if I see the {{[[Template:CollegePrimaryStyle|CollegePrimaryStyle]]}} template, I'll leave it alone, since I cannot change it.

Fair use images and lack of rationales

Please stop re-adding fair use images to articles when there is no rationale to do so. I've undone most of your edits, and will undo more most likely later. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:38, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mets-Phillies rivalry

Please do not remove content without specifying a reason. The Phillies and Mets logos are in the public domain and are not covered by fair use guidelines. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 17:15, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Mlb postseason 2009.png

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Mlb postseason 2009.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

  • I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
  • I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
  • If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
  • To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
  • If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.


Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 04:40, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted logos

You must add a fair use rationale to every copyrighted logo you upload. This is not the same as a "this image is copyrighted" box. I did them for you, like at File:Mlb postseason 2009.png, but you must add these for any new files you upload that are copyrighted.  fetchcomms☛ 18:46, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

October 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Battle of Gonzales has been reverted, as it appears to introduce incorrect information. Please do not intentionally add incorrect information to articles. All information in this encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable, published source. If you believe the information that you added was correct, please cite the references or sources or before making the changes, discuss them on the article's talk page. Please use the sandbox for testing. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Diannaa (Talk) 06:24, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The recent edit you made to Intradivisional rivalries in the American Football Conference constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to remove content from articles without explanation. Thank you. Diannaa (Talk) 06:36, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Helmet switch

Personally, I could care less which is used, but just out of curiosity, why are turning the helmets? Also, you should know that with at least one of them, you've not switched the picture, but actually deleted it. 98.82.190.226 (talk) 20:18, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've fixed it. 98.82.190.226 (talk) 20:21, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Now that you're done, the question remains: Why? 98.82.190.226 (talk) 21:37, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You're a real talkative fellow, aren't you? 98.82.190.226 (talk) 05:39, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

January 2010

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at I-85 Rivalry, you may be blocked from editing. Your additions of non-free content have routinely ignored WP:NFCC #10c requirements. You've been informed of this several times by myself at User_talk:Charlesaaronthompson#Fair_use_images_and_lack_of_rationales above, and by another editor at User_talk:Charlesaaronthompson#Copyrighted_logos. Persisting in this activity will likely lead to a block of your editing privileges. If you are unclear about any of this, ASK, rather than continue to edit in violation of policy. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 16:36, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your changes to List of Major League Baseball franchise postseason droughts

Tim Howard

Hi, I saw your changes to the Tim Howard article. Most of them were kosher, but I thought I might mention that Howard played for the MetroStars from 1998 to 2003, during which time, they were never known as the "New York/New Jersey MetroStars". According to the New York Red Bulls article, they dropped that name after the 1997 season. – PeeJay 09:10, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

Stadium tenants

Hello there! I just wanted to leave a quick note that for the stadium articles under the section "tenants", things like conference championship games, Super Bowls, and other major events aren't considered tenants, even if they are annual. Instead, they should be mentioned in the text of the article, usually their own section or a section for "other events". A tenant is a team or organization that regularly uses a stadium; i.e. it's their home field (or was their home field), so they have/had some degree of say in how the stadium is used and any changes that happen, plus they have very visible branding all over the stadium. Bowl games are typically listed for a variety of reasons, mostly because many bowl games have organizations that are based at a stadium or near it (the Rose Bowl is the best example of that). If championship games and other events are listed (like Wrestlemania), it opens the door for pretty much any notable event to be listed on the tenant list and suddenly, especially in the case of older facilities, the tenant list is excessively long and it's hard for users to even identify what team(s) call/called the stadium home. For specific teams, those that use the stadium as their home venue regularly are listed, so for temporary instances like the Buffalo Bills having a "home" game at Ford Field this past season, they wouldn't be listed as a tenant at Ford Field. Any questions, feel free to ask! --JonRidinger (talk) 19:52, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NCAA official colors

Hello. I am curious as to where you found the official HTML color code – #007AC3, w/RGB combination of 0 R, 122 G, 195 B at? I cannot find it on the website, which is why I say the colors should match the logo. Then again, I cannot find anywhere where the Association states their "official colors". Corkythehornetfan | Chat? 21:06, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NCAA official colors – February 27, 2015

In response to Corkythehornetfan, all I did was visit the official National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) website (http://www.ncaa.com). Once there, I right-clicked "View Image" on the main logo to get this image: http://i.turner.ncaa.com/dr/ncaa/ncaa7/release/sites/all/themes/ncaa/ncaa-respo/logo.png, which I then saved to my Pictures folder. I then opened the file in Microsoft Paint. Once I did that, I clicked on the color picker tool to get the color. I found the HTML color code when I clicked on "Edit Colors", which told me the red, green and blue values for that color. I then Google-searched "CMYK to RGB color conversion". I entered in the RGB color values, and this is how I was able to determine what the HTML code was: http://web.forret.com/tools/color.asp?R=0&G=122&B=195. I hope this helps.

Hello Wikipedians: I'm sorry and I want to apologize, for I've been making edits to collegiate template navboxes with the IP address 174.27.7.77 (talk), among other IP addresses. I hope this doesn't get me banned from editing Wikipedia permanently. When I made those edits, I didn't want to log in, because I didn't want to clog up my contributions page. I wasn't trying to sockpuppet any other user or vandalize any page; I just wanted those collegiate template navboxes to have the correct HTML color hex codes, because I think/believe that having the correct HTML color hex codes goes a long way toward enhancing Wikipedia readers' understanding/knowledge of a particular athletic team. By not having the correct HTML color hex codes, a reader might be misled into believing a certain athletic team has one set of colors, when in reality there are more correct HTML color hex codes that should be applied to Wikipedia's pages covering athletic teams and related topics. I apologize for any confusion. From now on, I'll log in to make edits so as not to sockpuppet any other user.

Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 23:05, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How do you receive those hex codes for the universities? The only reason I am asking is because this is different than how you did the NCAA navboxes. Schools have some sort of graphic standards which give the Hex code and PMS/CMYK/RGB codes. Going off of the logos would be inaccurate and you would have to go to the school's website to search for it. For those who do not produce some sort of graphic standards, you can go off of the logo. I've been updating some from the major conferences, as well. Most of the Division I schools use a template -- {{CollegePrimaryStyle}} template. (i.e. {{CollegePrimaryStyle|Kansas Jayhawks}}). If they are in the navboxes already, you cannot override them. If they are not already, either you can put it in or believe that it will be put in soon. Corkythehornetfan | Chat? 01:55, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Usually, what I did was I Google Searched "(school) official colors". Sometimes, the first result that came up was a brand identity guide put out by a specific university's web communications department. For example, I Google searched "university of north carolina official colors" (here is the url for that Google search: https://www.google.com/search?biw=1366&bih=657&noj=1&site=webhp&source=hp&q=university+of+north+carolina+official+colors&oq=university+of+north+carolina+official+colors&gs_l=hp.3..0j0i22i30l9.3159.10000.0.10202.50.47.2.1.1.0.194.4798.25j21.46.0.msedr...0...1c.1.62.hp..1.49.4810.tmxRPkQbmsU). The first result for that Google search was "Carolina Blue & Color Guidelines", and the url was http://identity.unc.edu/colors/)

That's how I found out what the hex codes were for North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I employed a similar method for the other universities and their associated athletic programs. From now on, if I see the {{CollegePrimaryStyle}} template, I'll leave it alone, since I cannot change it. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 03:00, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
