Why is the Seal black & white?

It was changed recently. I understand, officially, that "Some versions of the University seal feature a fluted edge. However, the current version with a clean, smooth edge is preferred." and that is why it was changed, but why is it black & white? The visual standards neglects to state this preference.

Here is a version in blue & white:

Just wondering. Sorry if this post is improperly formatted; I'm relatively new to editing Wikipedia.

NAS Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico

Folks,

Could not find any mention of NAS Roosevelt Roads on any of the listings...active or otherwise. When the bombing range on Vieques was closed down would have to assume that Roosy Roads was no longer of use so it probably was abandoned but thought it still worth listing in the former naval air stations.

Had some great times there supporting Marine fighter squadrons there in the 1950's. Did manage to put one FJ-2 in the weeds over the overrun when he missed the Morest gear cable

Regards,

Recruit new editors for the project?

Hi, Just wonder if there is any template or program in the project to recruit newcomers or new editors to join the project? Bobo.03 (talk) 18:09, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bobo.03: Honestly doing anything for this project is like handling plutonium. I stopped editing this project when Kumioko got banned and Wikipedia a short time later. He was trying to improve Wikipedia and did a hell of a job doing it and got run out of here for his efforts by people who largely just want to push POV. I would recommend letting this project die and mark it and all the others its associated to as inactive. 73.109.57.27 (talk) 13:43, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry to hear that, but still hope things will pass and it would get better over time.. Bobo.03 (talk) 15:42, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually getting worse over time. 73.109.56.143 (talk) 17:05, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Transportation safety in the United States

Transportation safety in the United States might be split with an article for road traffic fatalities which is the topic which generate most transport fatalities, and keeping Transportation safety in the United States as a second article for generates Transportation safety issues not specifically linked to road traffic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.193.104.227 (talk) 12:00, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
