Removing names

Hi Millionsandbillions, I've noticed several entries being removed because someone has removed them from Black Lives Matter. There's no requirement that the template be in sync with any article. What matters is whether the sources link these names to the movement. If they do, the names ought to be included in the template.

If someone has removed a name from the article inappropriately, that's an issue for discussion on that talk page, rather than a reason to remove the name from the template too. Sarah ^(talk) 16:31, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I mistakenly thought that every link in a template had to be included in the parent article but after rereading WP:NAVBOX I realize that I was wrong. I apologize for any mistakes I made while editing this template. I was not tring to be disruptive and I will try to avoid any such mistatkes in the future. -- Millionsandbillions (talk) 19:02, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Millionsandbillions: thank you, and don't worry about it. It's a common misunderstanding. Sarah ^(talk) 19:14, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Typical original nonsense mess

This template, like Template:Black Power sidebar, is full of violations of WP:No original research. What, pray tell, do Rodney King (who died in 2012), Latasha Harlins (who was killed in 1991), and the 1992 Los Angeles riots have to do with Black Lives Matter (which was formed in 2013)? Why not include Emmett Till and Slavery in the United States as background? They're probably more directly relevant. 2601:14C:0:F6E9:B4A6:ABC6:D6CA:F708 (talk) 01:49, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. This is an inappropriate template for Wikipedia.Trumpetrep (talk) 17:59, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Logo

Why shouldn't we include the logo? I liked it. What do you think? Davey2010 --JumpLike23 (talk) 00:58, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

jumplike23 - Because of copyright issues Logos should never be added in templates, Images and maps are fine but unfortunately logos aren't. –Davey2010^Talk 01:34, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
