A photo would really add to the page. If someone snapped a picture at this year's (or some other year's) game, please upload it - thanks. Brholden 19:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:CSUlogo.jpg

Image:CSUlogo.jpg 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 03:56, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:ColoradoStateRams.png

The image Image:ColoradoStateRams.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.

Wrong game

FYI - the original "border war" (the longest running football rivalry west of the Mississippi) is between Missouri and Kansas. Given that those two teams are from a major conference (Big XII) and are nationally significant (lately, anyways), I think "border war" ought to go to that game, not this one. There is also some interesting history between the pre-football Tigers and Jayhawks (both were pre-Civil War militias) that might be referenced (i.e., an actual war). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.130.223.215 (talk) 18:27, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your implication that some schools are more important then others not withstanding, you are welcome to write an article for the other rivalry, and we can set up a disambiguation page. CosmicPenguin (Talk) 00:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are hundreds of thousands of references in various media referring to "Border War" as the rivalry between Kansas and Missouri. We can move "Border War" to that page and do a tl:for disambiguation link at the top, like we currently have for "Border Showdown" on this page. ZG (talk) 20:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, they officially changed the name of the rivalry game to "Border Showdown," so it should stay there. Notwithstanding, it was called the "Border War" for many, many years and "Border War" should probably redirect there unless someone can provide more references that this rivalry should have the name? Also, CosmicPenguin, assume good faith - no one is saying schools are "more important" than others, only that some schools have more significance and notability in college football. If my school (George Mason University) had a game with James Madison University and we called it the Iron Bowl, I don't think we'd have much of a claim to that article name.
