This is already covered at the football page. It could also refer to any of the other WAC Championship games.

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:30, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

endash

Hi - thanks for your edits of several of the bowl game articles. Just wanted to highlight that team records and scores should use an endash between numbers, not a hyphen. For example, 7–3, not 7-3. The endash character is on the editing toolbar (enabled via Preferences, Editing) or using the & n d a s h ; (without the spaces) directive. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 18:13, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Team colors

Hi JJonahJackalope - I was looking at the recent edits to add team colors to the "Appearances by team" tables of some bowl games (e.g. Frisco Bowl & Miami Beach Bowl). I've also seen it done elsewhere (e.g. Big 12 Championship Game). A brief note here, as I'm not sure if it's a good idea. For me personally, readability suffers, as multiple colors are a distraction when trying to actually read content. I'd suggest seeking some feedback, perhaps via Talk pages, before going much further with the idea. Or apologies if that's already been done somewhere (?). Might also be worthwhile to seek input from User:Muboshgu, who works on a lot of pages across multiple sports. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 03:38, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Dmoore5556
Thanks for the recent feedback, I'll be sure to seek input from User:Muboshgu and others before proceeding. Also, apologies for any general formatting errors I may have made with regards to some of the recent bowl game articles. Moving forward I'll be sure to consult others and avoid these issues. Thanks.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SEAL

The seal I added is the actual seal used on degrees and official documents, is the official seal, and is worn by the university president at commencements; I took a picture of the metal silver seal worn by the university president at commencement; while the university may use the the previously printed seal on commercial items, it is by mistake; the added seal is the actual official university seal; please don’t revert; will be glad to talk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quaerens-veritatem (talk • contribs) 02:34, 20 January 2019 (UTC (UTC)

Hi Quaerens-veritatem
I reverted to the previous image because as stated by the university itself in their official style guide, that is currently the official seal for the University of Georgia. While I do not doubt your claim that the image you provided is used by the university, there should probably be more verification for this claim. Unless you can cite your claim that your image is the official seal of the University of Georgia, I would recommend using the previous image. Open to discussion on the matter. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JJonahJackalope (talk • contribs) 02:48, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

File:Georgia Highlands College logo.png

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Atlanta Chiefs logo.gif

Thank you for uploading File:Atlanta Chiefs logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:
This draft is a request to spin out an article. Proposals to spin out a topic from an article into another stand-alone article should be discussed at the talk page of the existing article, unless the draft satisfies a special notability guide. If the draft satisfies a special notability guide, please identify the notability criterion with a reliable source. This does not mean that the draft should be spun out, and it does not mean that the draft should not be spun out. It does mean that discussion should be on the talk page of the existing article. (If this draft is resubmitted without discussion on the talk page of the existing article and does not satisfy a special notability guide, it may be Rejected or nominated for deletion.) Discuss at Talk:List of furry conventions.

NRHP-listed places in Georgia

Hi, I noticed a couple contributions by you about National Register of Historic Places-listed places in Georgia because they happened to link to pages that I must have created, so they popped up on my notices list, including your new article for Sam Ripley Farm. Thank you for contributing! I have created a lot of short NRHP articles in Georgia with links to the good NRHP nomination documents, like you found, but there are so many more needed! More precisely: there are 2,134 NRHP-listed places in Georgia, of which we have photos for 1,590, and we have starter articles for 1,167. (I get these numbers from a recently run report at wp:NRHPPROGRESSGA, the Georgia section of a big report. Theres a "Percent Articled" map at the very top right which shows that all the counties in Georgia all now have 30% or more articles.)

I would be very glad if you would do more. If you do, a handy tool which helps is called the "NRHP infobox generator", available at an editor's private website at http://elkman.net/nrhp/. If you click on the first option there and enter "Ripley" and "GA", it yields this output, which includes a copy-paste-ready infobox partly filled out already, and a partly filled out reference to the NRHP document and its accompanying photos, which is slightly better than the reference which you created. Specifically it includes: <ref name="nrhpdoc">{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=04001187}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Ripley, Sam, Farm |publisher=[[National Park Service]]|author= |date= |accessdate=February 21, 2020}} With {{NRHP url|id=04001187|photos=y|title=accompanying pictures}}</ref>

which forms this reference:[1]

which you see includes photos and other stuff. I personally would choose to refine it slightly more using info in the NRHP document (author name and preparation date in Section 11, info about photos towards the end of the text document, and my literally counting the number of photos in the photos document) to yield this modified reference:[2]

References

  1. ^ "National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Ripley, Sam, Farm". National Park Service. Retrieved February 21, 2020. With accompanying pictures
  2. ^ Gretchen A. Brock; Melissa Jest; Chris Mercer; Luciana Spracher (August 2, 2004). "National Register of Historic Places Registration: Sam Ripley Farm". National Park Service. Retrieved February 21, 2020. With maps, plan, and 16 accompanying photos from 2002

Using the tool helps a lot, I think; to fill out the reference well does still require good reading and thinking on the part of me or you as editor. It works for most NRHP sites which were listed before some date in 2013. Try it, you may like it!

Any which way, again I am glad to see you contributing and hope you may continue with your good work! --Doncram (talk) 22:27, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
