April 2017

  • And it continues. Once again the issue being challenged is being COMPLETELY IGNORED. The close of the discussion by the ridiculous SNOW policy is NOT what is being challenged. Yet every moron commenting is commenting on that. Not a single person has defended the deliberate use of the known erroneous title pages, which AGAIN, is what is being challenged.

The FACT remains that the current Wikipedia entries are INCORRECT and the suggested changes are CORRECT.

The FACT is that the Northern Illinois University athletic teams are the Northern Illinois University Huskies or NIU Huskies and NOT any other variant.

Also, it's not lost on me that the first person to oppose the original move request then went campaigning (which was brought to my attention that that is against Wiki policy WP:CANVAS) to all of his friends to come and pile on. A quick check of the talk pages of the people commenting reveals that they routinely conspire to gang up on issues and get them prematurely closed by the SNOW rule. Clowns.

How about somebody address what is actually being challenged. Defend knowingly using title pages that are WRONG.

It's been pointed out that:

  • "If a reader types in or searches for "NIU Huskies", they'll end up here or one of the specific sport articles since all of those titles are redirects."

Understood, but what sense does it make to redirect the CORRECT term to the ERRONEOUS term? Defend not using the CORRECT term and redirecting the used, but INCORRECT, term to the CORRECT one? It makes no sense. Wikipedia is doing things BACKWARDS in this regard.

Somebody ADDRESS THE ACTUAL ISSUE BEING CHALLENGED. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 17:37, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And now I'm being BLOCKED in an attempt to SILENCE me. The reason why nobody addresses what is actually being challenged is because it's a binary issue. It in NOT a matter of opinion. There is RIGHT and there is WRONG. And what I'm saying is on the CORRECT side of the issue and the other side is on the indefensible WRONG side of the issue. So there is an intensive effort to DIVERT from the issue being challenged by citing the ridiculous SNOW and COMMONNAME policies. The FACT remains that the current Wikipedia entries are INCORRECT and the suggested changes are CORRECT. The FACT is that the Northern Illinois University athletic teams are the Northern Illinois University Huskies or NIU Huskies and NOT any other variant. It makes NO SENSE to redirect the CORRECT term to the ERRONEOUS term. Wikipedia is doing things BACKWARDS in this regard. GO AHEAD, SOMEBODY (PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP) ADDRESS THE ACTUAL ISSUE BEING CHALLENGED. I'm waiting. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 18:00, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Civility and personal attacks

Please bear the former in mind and don't engage in the latter. You can and should do better than this recent edit summary and comment. (Speaking of "patterns".) Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 00:40, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JohnInDC: Take a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Corkythehornetfan&diff=prev&oldid=777361729 and reprimand that passive-aggressive child while you're at it. There are more examples of that clown engaging uncivilly and personally attacking users. Also, there was nothing wrong with the two links you provided. What I did there was point out that child's poor attempt to LIE about "consensus" and CIRCUMVENT a discussion in order to get his way (speaking of patterns, he does that ALL THE TIME, why don't you look through his history).

Thanks for your observations. I stand by my own. JohnInDC (talk) 15:10, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@JohnInDC: And when will you be reprimanding that child? Also, you can stand by your observations all you want but your assertions are still wrong. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 15:31, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NIU athletic directors

Anne, would you want to create an article for Sean T. Frazier, NIU's athletic director? Template:Mid-American Conference athletic director navbox needs one more link to pass WP:EXISTING and considering you're working on the NIU articles, I figured you would want to create it... Also, some previous athletic directors need articles too or the template will be deleted if you want something to do! Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 07:29, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You mean NIU. Keep your petty nonsense out of my Talk Page or I will report you for harassment. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 12:16, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Page found here Sean T. Frazier. It's very minimal, although has more info than some of these AD pages, I will try to fill in as much info as possible as I discover it. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 13:43, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NIU Huskies: The OFFICIAL Name of NIU Athletics Teams

I used the PRECEDENT set by and followed by Wikipedia in the Arkansas–Little Rock Trojans page. As I stated, the issue is up for discussion but do not change the current pages. Allow the discussion process to play out. Thank you. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 13:07, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Grow up. AnneMorgan88 (talk) 13:55, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Again, you lack the fundamental understanding of the issue. It is NOT a matter of branding, but rather the OFFICIAL name for the Northern Illinois University Athletic teams. Therefore, there is not an "other equally acceptable branding alternative" that you're referring to but rather "other OFFICIAL names" for the athletic teams at Northern Illinois University. If you are suggesting that the articles use: "(officially the NIU Huskies, Northern Illinois University Huskies, or Huskies [1])" that is fine with me.
