Hi. Your ESU alumni list has gotten to the point that you need to split it off into its own article. See the following colleges as examples. I split the WSU article a while back because of the same reason. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 21:19, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

- Thanks! I am working on that now! One quick question... There are many names they had posted that aren't on Wikipedia. Do I leave the brackets on those names or do I take them off? Thanks again! Corkythehornetfan (Talk) (Contributions) 22:01, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
- I use to wikilink everyone, but I've moved to wikilink only people who have an article. The reason that I've moved from wikilinking people who don't have an article is that it sometimes seems to be a target of "delete happy" editors that delete everything red, which is wrong. As long as each person meets WP:BIO and each non-wikilinked name has a reference then that person should be safe. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 23:32, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. I decided not to link the names that don't have an article on here, just to be safe. If other users would like them to be linked, then they can link them! Thanks again for your help! Corkythehornetfan (Talk) (Contributions) 00:014, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Question about recent edit to Brown Mackie College
Hi Corky, I have a quick request for you related to your recent edits to the Brown Mackie College article. First though, I am a paid consultant to Education Management Corporation (EDMC), Brown Mackie College's parent company, and have helped to improve this article with the assistance of other editors. Because of my relationship to EDMC I have not made any direct edits to the article, but have instead worked with other editors via Talk pages. This is why I am asking you about making this change, as opposed to making it myself.
I noticed the new section you added about the school's athletics program at the school's Salina location. The title of this section is currently Brown Mackie-Salina Athletics but I'm wondering if you would be willing to update it to Brown Mackie College-Salina athletics (rather than Brown Mackie-Salina Athletics) so that the school's full name is used and so that the section heading appears in sentence case, as is standard on Wikipedia. Would you be willing to make this change? Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 20:14, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
- Changed! Corkythehornetfan (talk) 20:46, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you!! Also, I just saw the South University logo note on my user Talk and replied there. I think since you've replaced the file in the article with a .png version, it's probably best just to let the .jpg I'd uploaded get deleted. But let me know if there's something else we could do with it... Thanks again, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 21:08, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Question about edit to Friends University infobox.
Corky, I noticed your recent update to the Friends University infobox and including administration. First, thank you for making updates to the page. Some of the titles do not accurately match their official title and in some cases may be a bit misleading, specifically the title of dean. Carole Obermeyer serves as the Vice President of Student Affairs, not in the role of dean. The University has three deans over the three colleges, who report to the Vice President of Academic Affairs, currently listed as provost. What are your thoughts on removing some of the administration from this block or changing them to accurately representing their official title/role? Thanks! R. D. Rodriguez (talk) 22:32, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- R. D., when I edited the article last, the names were not showing up in the infobox. So, I placed them in a slot. I placed the VP of Academic Affairs as Provost, based off of what ESU calls their VP for Academic Affairs. (Yes, I realize that every school is different.) I say lets change them to accurately represent their official title and/or role. I could do that if you'd like, or you can, it doesn't matter to me. I hope you see why I did it. Thanks! Corkythehornetfan (talk) 23:21, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- Corky, absolutely! I realize each place is different but thank you for working on adding the information! I believe you have more experience editing in the infobox, so I'll let you make the changes. I'm not sure how well they will fit, so perhaps abbreviating Vice President to VP would be good. They are: VP of Academic Affairs - Dr. Darcy Zabel; VP of Administration and Finance - Randy Doerksen; VP of Institutional Advancement - Tracy Muirhead; VP of Student Affairs - Dr. Carole Obermeyer. If you want the deans of the college, they are: Dean of the College of Business, Arts, Sciences and Education - Dr. Steve Peters; Dean of the College of Adult and Professional Studies - Dr. Jo Lobertini; Dean of the Graduate School - Dr. David Hofmeister. Thanks so much for making this Wikipedia page and other pages more robust and accurate! R. D. Rodriguez (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:16, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Wikipedia Service Award
This editor is a Yeoman Editor and is entitled to display this Service Badge. |
In case you aren't aware of the Wikipedia Service Awards, I guessed at your award level by looking at the table in this "wikipedia:service awards" article, "your total edits", and "how long you've had an account". To determine your service award, you must be greater or equal to the values in both columns. Currently I have enough edits to be 3 awards higher, but unfortunately my account age prevents me. As your edits increase and time ticks along, it's your responsibility to bump up your award. I put 2 of the more popular methods to show your award in this section, so pick one of them. To tweak the award parameters, see Template:Yeoman Editor or Template:Yeoman Editor Userbox. Note: You can delete this section at any time. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 01:00, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks! I wasn't aware of it. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 03:49, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Mike King
Hi Corky--
I was hoping you could help me with a page title change on the Mike King page. He would like it to not say, Kansas politician, and just have it be Mike King. Is this possible? Or what do I need to do to make these changes? Thanks AnnWilliamson (talk) 16:22, 22 January 2014 (UTC) AnnWilliamson
- Mike King article is already taken, plus his article should have a similar naming format as others on that page. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 22:07, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- Ann, the reason the creator titled it Mike King (Kansas politician) is because Mike King is already taken, like Sbmeirow said. Links that are WP:Disambiguated, like Mike King, the name usually has parenthesis. (That way, it directs to a specific person.) If Mr. King doesn't want (Kansas politician) after his name, the only other choice would be "politician", so it would look like other politician articles. I see that you moved hime to Mike King (Transportation Executive). That looks better. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 22:54, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Heads up
Your report here seems to list old diffs rather than the most recent. Flat Out let's discuss it 03:37, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks! I used the tool server thing to help, and that is what it gave me. I didn't even bother to check them either. I've changed them to the ones of the IP user I am requesting being blocked. Let me know if I need to change those, or what else I need to do. Thanks, again. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 03:45, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- That's better but you only listed 3, did they break the 3 revert rule? Flat Out let's discuss it 03:47, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, they did. After I reverted it three times, I stopped. Then, Jim1138 stepped in and reverted the IP's edits. After him it was the new IP address, which I believe is the same person as the 1st IP address. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 03:50, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- List diffs for all reverts (including manual reverts) in the last 24 hours. Flat Out let's discuss it 03:54, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- I have listed a total of 9 diffs from the IP user, which were all of their reverts in the past 24 hours. Hopefully that is enough. Thanks for your help! Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 04:15, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

.jpg to .png
Hi, thanks for changing the Armed Forces Bowl logo for me. I also uploaded 2 other bowl logos this past week, the Independence Bowl and the Gator Bowl. They're also .jpg's. Can you also make them .png for me? Thanks.. Roberto221 (talk) 03:48, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Done! Here they are: Corkythehornetfan(talk) 12:59, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
WTAE
Thank You for Updating the WTAE-TV Page for me to a cleaner and more updated logo. It Looks better then where I was able to get it. Bbabybear02 (talk) 19:17, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- No problem! Corkythehornetfan(talk) 21:25, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
The Shoji Tabuchi Show
Hi, Corkythehornetfan. I believe the edit to the Shoji Tabuchi page concerning the appearance of the show on RedLetterMedia's segment is a valid one. RedLetterMedia has millions of online viewers, and the Shoji Tabuchi show has frequently been mentioned on their show, and was the subject of an entire broadcast. I don't believe that your reasoning for removing the edit "don't need," is a valid reason for removing it. Please explain further why you don't believe it's relevant that the Shoji Tabuchi show was mentioned multiple times on one of the web's most popular series. Son of Lunger (talk) 19:59, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hello. Sorry I removed it. I didn't look at the reference and jus reading it, thought maybe it was unnecessary. But since I look at it, it looks good. Sorry for removing it. Corkythehornetfan(talk) 02:05, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
No problem! I just thought it was relevant, as it may be the way many people heard about Shoji Tabuchi for the first time. Thanks! Son of Lunger (talk) 04:16, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
2010 NCAA Division I Women's Final Four Logo
I beg to differ, but the logo from the 2010 NCAA Women's Final Four's logo is being used in that article. Therefore, I object to its' removal. NoseNuggets (talk) 4:35 PM US EDT March 14, 2014 (aka "Pi Day").
- NoseNuggets,
- The .PNG logo is being used, but not the .JPG. The new logo I put in is transparent. If you'd actually look, there is a difference! Therefore, the .jpg file will be deleted, which is the one that is orphaned. Corkythehornetfan(talk) 20:50, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
Books
Here's an old book for you: • Sbmeirow • Talk • 23:06, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
- Standardization of Rural Schools in Kansas; Kansas Superintendent of Public Instruction; 45 pages; 1917.
- User:Sbmeirow/Books, my list of books (most online)
- Very interesting! Thanks! Corkythehornetfan(talk) 02:01, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
Admin barnstar
Thanks very much! I think that the deletion of old revisions is much simpler than editing the images (adding transparancy, resizing etc.) as you do. I just mop up the left-overs, but thanks again, it's nice to get noticed. James086Talk 03:16, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
2015 Final Four Logo
Thank you for your productive revision of the 2015 Final Four logo. I could not help but notice that your revision made the logo opaque. I can tell because the logo does not have the checkerboard background that represents the transparent background. Since all logos are supposed to be transparent, I recommend that you fix this so this logo applies to how a logo should appear on Wikipedia. In simpler terms, please get rid of the white background in the logo. Additionally, I would appreciate it if you did not respond in ALL CAPS. Thank you. Albino Geronimo (talk) 04:53, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry! I forgot to turn off the caps. The image is transparent because the checkerboard background shows up when you hover over it. It also shows that the image has no background when you go to the Article. Corkythehornetfan(talk) 11:38, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
WTAE-TV Logo Information
Please, see this page on the WTAE-TV website because it seems to advertise this logo as the current logo of the TV station (see this link). The Twitter page for WTAE-TV also seems to advertise this logo as well. Also, see this page, too (which is home to this link). Of course, I might be wrong. I'm not from the area the station serves so I don't know exactly what their current logo is. For this reason, I'm not gonna upload any new versions of the logo; instead, I'm gonna leave it up to you to upload the logo. I'm providing you the link to the best copy of the other logo and will leave it entirely up to you to, if you decide to use upload it, remove the white background and shrink it to the proper size. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that so long as multiplying the length times the width (in pixels) equals 160,000 pixels or less, the image would not be too big. You seem to know your stuff about WTAE-TV, as you've been the uploader of all but one version of the logo for the station. I also don't know how to remove select background but, rather, I know only how to remove entirely ALL of one particular color from an image. How to remove only certain occurrences of white from an image, for example, is something I don't yet know how to do. That's another reason why I cannot upload the image myself. DizzyMosquitoRadio99 (talk) 18:00, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- I have contacted the station to see if they could e-mail the correct logo. I was just using the Facebook logo because it seems as if most stations have changed it to that. I don't live in the WTAE-TV area, nor do I know much about WTAE-TV. I was just going off their Facebook page, as most stations use their current logo as their profile picture. When I get the correct logo, I'll make sure it is reduced and transparent. I'm sorry if I have made people not happy, but it is what it is. Corkythehornetfan(talk) 22:22, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- Do not worry, Corkythehornetfan(talk), about whether or not you've made me "unhappy" at all. A.) You have NOT made me "Unhappy," in the very slightest. If anything, you've just made me confused and B.) As Wikipedia editors, it is sort of our jobs and oaths to be "civil" (and, nonetheless, "professional") with one another. Right from the very moment I've first composed that message to you, I feared that the civility of my attempted tone of that message would get lost in translation, as text doesn't always do a very good job at conveying the mood(s) and emotion(s) of the composer of the message. I assure you that I want the exact same thing that you do and that's for the WTAE-TV logo featured in the corresponding article to that station to be the most up-to-date version. Good luck in your quest of finding out what the correct logo is for that station. Hey, while you're at it, maybe you could even E-Mail WTAE-TV once more, this time requesting that THEY upload their logo to their Wikipedia article. Of course I'm not exactly sure how Wikipedia's Non-Free policies work but I could very easily imagine that if somebody from WTAE-TV were to upload the logo to their Wikipedia article, maybe the Copyright and Size Reducing rules could be waived for them? Of course, this is only an idea though. I never really attempted contacting a TV/Radio Station to ask them about uploading a logo to Wikipedia; although, I've always been tempted to. View This Logo Here ("Uploaded by promotional/marketing director" for Saga Communications of Manchester, New Hampshire) and you will see a perfect example of a TV/Radio Logo uploaded to Wikipedia directly from a Station Staff Member. Pretty Interesting Stuff, Aye?

DizzyMosquitoRadio99 (talk) 04:00, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
I live in the WTAE-TV viewing area and the one with the New ABC logo is the correct one and is promoted on the station itself. The logos in the other sites are outdated. Bbabybear02 (talk) 23:37, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
- Sounds good! I am going to upload the photo you uploaded, but transparent and cropped to the old logo. Corkythehornetfan(talk) 23:47, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
Thank You. It Should look better that way. Bbabybear02 (talk) 23:54, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
Reno articles
I'm less concerned about adding the timeslots (we never do that per WP:NOTTVGUIDE) and more concerned about the very rapid IP switching done by this IPV6 editor, which makes giving any talk page notice or warning beyond useless. I've asked for all the Reno commercial TV stations to be semi'ed for a bit via WP:RFP, and bringing this to WP:ANI; I've never seen this before in all my years because with IPV4 it at least takes awhile to switch and it's easy to pull a range block; this IPV6's editing is very unusual. Nate • (chatter) 00:14, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- I see your point as to why it isn't much of a concern. I was just wondering and will remove the time slots. The IP has been doing it for quite some time and I had never even given it a thought about asking for protection! Thanks again for the response! Corkythehornetfan(talk) 00:22, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- Getting a feeling it is who you say, since they're reverting me like crazy and saying they'll report me for vandalism (and I see you too). Hopefully that addition will be shooting themselves in the foot. Nate • (chatter) 02:09, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- I hope so too! Corkythehornetfan(talk) 02:13, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Thoughts on naming of Kansas school district articles
Hi! Thanks for the heads up! I personally prefer "Unified School District" as it's a spelled out title for the full name. Texas school districts say "Independent School District" instead of ISD, with the ISD form being a redirect. Also, an infobox would be great! WhisperToMe (talk) 01:57, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

WPBF Logo (Answer To Your Question)
{ "Hello. I saw that you recently made an edit to the File:Wpbf 2010.png file, and was wondering if you are good at making images transparent? The new logo ([1]) has a background that I am not sure how to remove properly. I just think the new logo should be used. They use it on their website and social media pages. If you are not sure how to do that, then I can send in a request. Thanks, Corkythehornetfan(talk) 05:06, 4 May 2014 (UTC)" }
- I'm afraid that's over my head. I'm generally very good at removing White Background and uploading as PNG images stuff where the Source Link is in a JPEG format but, generally-speaking, anything requiring fancy Image Editing software is not my area of expertise. I use free Online Image Editing software, such as Free Online Image Editor which doesn't allow me to zoom in to take a closer look at what I'm editing. So, in other words, if there is some TINY amount of background requiring removing, I'm often searching for a needle in a haystack and cannot zoom in to see how good my aim is. Wikipedians who are in possession of Adobe Photoshop might be able to assist you here, though. Thus so far, This Is The Very BEST NEW/Silver Logo Of The Station I Can Find. It's their Horizontal/News logo but doesn't appear to be their station logo. Ugh, I HATE how the only copy of their recent logo that I can find are those darn JPEG files with Opaque Background! And it even irritated me more that I could only find the Direct Source Link to this Image but not the darn page that consisted of the image; I instead needed to link people to the FRONT PAGE of the website! That totally stinks! I'm sorry I couldn't be of any further assistance to you, though. Try This Image, Though. It's from This Page. That really bugs me, because I'm very OCD about including BOTH the Direct Source Link to Image AND the exact website I got that image from. I was submitting the upload request to another Wikipedian who instead includes the Direct Links only but not the webpage. Who knows, maybe the webpage had been since taken down. LOTS of times, images remain up over the web even though their origin/source webpages once consisting of them has long since been removed. Eventually, probably those images that I cannot locate any source pages for will eventually turn into dead/inactive links (at least for all I know)… DizzyMosquitoRadio99 (talk) 05:20, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- This Logo is A LOT cleaner, contains A LOT less compression artifacts, and is in a PNG format already (probably why it looks so much better). Look, it's even transparent already (around the edges)! If touched up with the proper Image Editing software (most likely NOT the Free/Online software), it'll be all ready-to-go. But I cannot be that certain someone who performs that touch-up work. Someone else will have to do it. I remove NON-Complex Background only. Ah, and This Logo is from The Google Play Page for The "Hurricane Tracker WPBF 25" Weather App. Now, all you need to do is hunt down a Wikipedian who owns Adobe Photoshop software. You're almost there, Corkythehornetfan(talk)! By the way, I'm undergoing a project in the near future. I'm currently saving the logos for ALL the Bounce TV network so that I can make sure that all the Bounce TV affiliate logos are up-to-snuff. They will all have transparent background (as many Bounce TV logos are although in a PNG file format, uploaded with Opaque Background). DizzyMosquitoRadio99 (talk) 05:30, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

WDAF-TV logo
I have a preposition. I think it would be best for me to put my version of the WDAF logo on the top of the page, and to put your version of it (the "NEWS" variant) on the top of the "News operation" section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dobrate0831 (talk • contribs) 21:28, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- That would be nice, but WDAF doesn't use the "WDAF-TV" on their logo. They use the "NEWS" instead. I will write something on the talk page. Users can discuss it there. I think others should contribute to what they think before we go and change it. The question can be found here. Corkythehornetfan(talk) 21:50, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thus so far, This Is The Very BEST NEW/Silver Horizontal/News Logo Of The Station I Can Find. It's their Horizontal/News logo but doesn't appear to be the station's primary purpose logo (whereas it's more of a Newscast branding logo). (By the way, if that News Logo doesn't load properly, please then visit The Webpage Containing The Logo and seek out the logo and then Copy-and-Paste the image's URL into the address bar and manually load it up and then it should load properly.) And, as for their regular up-to-date Station Logo, This Logo from The Google Play Page for The "Hurricane Tracker WPBF 25" Weather App is the cleanest copy of the station's current logo that I was able to find online. Anybody who's in-the-know about the proper removal of complex background is perfectly welcome to tackle the challenging task of extracting the actual logo itself out of the image (and cleanly removing all that complex background) to render a transparent-background product where it's just only the logo itself that's visible.

Ah, and This Logo is from The Google Play Page for The "Hurricane Tracker WPBF 25" Weather App. There's Also This Main Non-Transparent Logo. And I'm good at removing Simple Background, only. I am incapable of removing Complex Backgrounds like that exist on these two images. DizzyMosquitoRadio99 (talk) 06:15, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for the reply! I use FotoFlexer and that does an okay job, if it is just a white background or simple like you said. I think I'll use this logo, when I find the right person. Thanks again for the reply! Corkythehornetfan(talk) 15:16, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- I think I'll send it to the Graphics Lab and see if they can remove it for me. I have a couple of logos I want them to convert to .SVG format so I might as well see if they can do that. Thanks, Corkythehornetfan(talk) 04:00, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
Emporia State Athletics logo
Golf Channel New Logo
Hi Corky. I am on the Marketing team at Golf Channel. Today we launched a new network logo, we keep trying to remove the old logo and it seems that you keep reverting the change. It is imperative to take this logo down immediately and replace it with our new one. Are you able to place the new logo on there? Or at least not put the old one back up?
Please let me know. Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrchandler24 (talk • contribs) 13:54, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hello. I reverted it because the article on golfchannel.com says that "The logo will activate across Golf Channel’s various platforms in May 2014 in connection with The Players Championship." So, I was waiting for the Players Championship. I saw that you put the new logo in the infobox, and I put the old logo in the history section. Also, I would like you to see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. You working for the Golf Channel and editing on Wikipedia for the article is considered a COI. Thanks, Corkythehornetfan(talk) 20:36, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Your link to MIAA
Corky, I didn't want to offend you by reverting your edit so I haven't yet. But, when you linked ESU women's basketball I believe it would have better suited you to link it to ESU instead of Women's basketball. The sports on the left are linked to the NCAA Championship pages.UCO2009bluejay (talk) 05:47, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Moved to userspace
I've moved the article to your userspace at User:Corkythehornetfan/Jory Collins, where you can work on it at leisure. It was deleted under WP:A7 and was tagged as having a lot of primary sources, so you'll want to add more secondary RS to things. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:42, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Jory Collins
Hi if you don't mind I added references to Jory Collins article. If you don't like my additions, simply hit revert and I won't mind. If you decide to refloat the article, let me know so I can vote keep, seems like a notable subject for Wikipedia.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:34, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Revert rule
Thanks for the heads up. In this case MOS:BOLDTITLE is violating copyrights by adding an illegal name to the copyrighted Ragin' Cajuns.
The Ragin' Cajuns © are the athletic teams of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, which have been competing athletically since 1901.
Louisiana-Lafayette violates Louisiana State law with the use of the hyphen.
- Then you need to discuss it on the talk page, and not keep reverting. You also need to provide proof that it violates the Louisiana State law. If you keep it up, I will report you two the notice board, and let them decide if you and Treydavis3 need blocked or not. CorkythehornetfanTalk 00:13, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
York College (Nebraska) logo and seal
Hi Corky, I recently changed the York College (Nebraska) page infobox by adding the new logo and removing the seal. Since then, you moved the logo and placed the seal back into the infobox. Since a communication policy change effective July 1, the seal is designated for use in official college documents only. The new logo will be used for every college published piece, both print and online. You can reference our policy on an internal use page at [2] Do you know of a way to delete the York College seal file? Without use on the college page, there is no reason to keep the file. Thank you. Brent Magner (talk) 19:21, 22 July 2014 (UTC)Brent Magner
- @Brent Magner: Thanks for the heads up. I have tagged it as an orphaned non-free image, and it will be deleted in 7 days or July 29. CorkythehornetfanTalk 21:16, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
conference format
Like you, as best I can tell, WikiProject College football has NOT decided on what format to use for the college conference membership tables... Either little interest was shown in a format, or it was rejected by the majority of those having a preference... GWFrog (talk) 14:19, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

WAC logo
Thanx, I did the rationale, then changed back to the new logo, only to have someone else delete it a few minutes later while under the impression that you and I were dueling over the proper background color... GWFrog (talk) 01:07, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
- Do you think the new wording under the newest logo needs to be there? I've seen different versions... one with "Western Athletic Conference" and one with "Learn - Compete- Inspire"... So I just left it with the "WAC" so that way it couldn't be wrong or right. Let me know, If you think the wording needs to be underneath, I can add it under the logo I uploaded. The logo I put has the same color as the one you uploaded, just transparent. The difference between the one I uploaded and the original one, is the color and that mine is a PNG, not SVG. Also, I only tagged it as orphaned non- free image because it wasn't being used anymore. I just think the logo would look better transparent. Thanks, CorkythehornetfanTalk 01:25, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
- The "Learn - Compete- Inspire" is the change from the old to the new, so, yeah, it needs to be there... As for transparency, the conference seems to be mostly using that, although I got the black background from the original press release about the change... GWFrog (talk) 03:29, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
- Okay. I'll put it in. CorkythehornetfanTalk 04:05, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Cope Stadium
Corky I just noticed that Cope Stadium for UNK is the only current MIAA stadium that doesn't have an article. I was wondering if soon you would like to collaborate to create one. When it comes to stadiums I don't believe I am that great at finding relevant secondary sources. UCO2009bluejay (talk) 00:30, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- Most, if not all, of the stadium articles for the MIAA got their info from the athletics website, which made the articles a stub. I'll search for secondary sources, but can't guarantee that their will any. If nothing else, they'll look like the rest of the articles! CorkythehornetfanTalk 01:12, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Question about ESU football?
As you are probably aware of. I recently added a conference championships table to the ESU football article. I was wondering if you have know where I could find the conference records for the seasons as I can't seem to track it down in ESU's media guide. I know I found the same problem with UCO but I can eventually deduce who was in CSU/UCO's conference at any particular time, I don't have any knowledge of who was in the GP conference? I hope to do the same thing to Pitt State, and what I will create for Washburn and if applicable FHSU.UCO2009bluejay (talk) 02:35, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- @UCO2009bluejay: Let me do some looking around. I thought I found a site that I was looking earlier today, but can't seem to remember what it is called! I thought that site had conference records, but I'm not sure. I don't know anything on the GP conference, either, just that ESU competed in it for four years. When I find a site or another source, I'll let you know. Let me know if you need/want help on starting the Washburn or Fort Hays articles. I'd be glad to help out!

College sports team names
Corky, please let me know if any other college sports team requested moves are initiated. I've commented on the four of which I was aware. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 02:37, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- @Dirtlawyer1: Sounds good! Thanks for commenting on the requests. Like I stated in the requests, I was 50/50 with the whole "____ sports" or "____ athletics" naming. I just didn't think Wikipedians would like that, and I wasn't entirely sure I liked it. Thanks, CorkythehornetfanQuestion? 03:15, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, the college sports naming convention is one thing we did right the first time, and we don;t need to completely chnage our established naming conventions without very good reasons, and certainly not on a whim because someone thinks he has a better idea. The stability of literally thousands of article titles is involved. That being said, I have no problem with the "Lady _____" construction where it's appropriate. Don't forget to create separate redirects for the men's and women's team names where you change the sports program main article titles to the combined names. Ping me if anything interesting happens.

In response to my talk page MIAA conference records
I believe a few months ago I found the conference standings dating back to 1989 on either the Missouri Western, or Central Missouri Media guides. Before that (as far as MIAA goes I looked at each schools media guides, the CFB data warehouse, and the conference membership) to determine the conference record of each school. I don't know how to determine much outside of the Lone Star Conference because their conference media guide has a listing of each conference standings. I don't know if the MIAA has such a guide, if it did this would be easy to determine.UCO2009bluejay (talk) 05:52, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- As far as the pre-MIAA conferences that any MIAA team was in if I knew the membership of the leagues this would help but I simply don't know. If there was even a wiki article that was sufficient in each defunct or former conference ESU was in this would help as well. I know Washburn was in the MVC at one time but I haven't checked to see if they won any conference titles in that league.UCO2009bluejay (talk) 05:57, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- We should not use the cfb data warehouse right now, according to the WP:CFB project it apparently has a virus at this time.UCO2009bluejay (talk) 17:36, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- Sounds good! Thanks for letting me know! I'm confused right now because I've found a couple of websites (mainly the CFB data warehouse and ESU Media Guides) that said ESU joined the Central Conference in 1927, but now the KCAC History page has ESU withdrawing in 1923. It's going to be awhile before I figure this one out... lots of searching to do! Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 18:10, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Created Missouri Western football
I have created Missouri Western State Griffons football. I added State for continuity purposes, but I support a move to Missouri Western. I put on the main Missouri Western Griffons talk page that the football article should be moved if the main article is moved.

WCIV still does news
Excuse me, but why did you remove all of WCIV's news staff. They haven't even shut down yet. That was too soon. I know they are going off the air, but not now. They are still on the air and they still do the news. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.9.114.198 (talk) 22:19, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- I removed the staff because it violates WP:LISTPEOPLE. Here is a quote from another user:
“ | Lists of people must meet the criteria listed at WP:LISTPEOPLE. This isn't the first station article this has been discussed on, and articles have been protected to prevent these additions, or the editors in question blocked when they persistently continue to reinsert inappropriate material. If a name is included in the article in this way, it has to show that it's relevant to the subject by meeting WP:LISTPEOPLE. Just because a station lists its employees doesn't mean Wikipedia needs to as well, and other station articles needing similar cleanup doesn't mean this one doesn't need to be cleaned up, because whenever it's actually discussed on a station article, the end result is the same; the names that don't meet WP:LISTPEOPLE are removed. | ” |

Removal of TV news personalities
Howdy,
The policy which you cite when removing lists of TV news personalities from the stations for which they work, WP:LISTPEOPLE, applies only to stand-alone lists. The policy, so far as I know, does not apply to lists contained within articles. If that is no longer the case or if there has been discussion related to lists of TV news personalities on a particular talk page, please let me know. Buffalutheran (talk) 23:06, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Buffalutheran: Hello! Here are a few listings that I was informed about.
- At first, I was against the removal of the news personalities, but the more I was told about it and the more I read, I understood and agreed that they shouldn't belong. I was also not aware of he discussions before, either. Also, here is a quote from a fellow user:
“ | Lists of people must meet the criteria listed at WP:LISTPEOPLE. This isn't the first station article this has been discussed on, and articles have been protected to prevent these additions, or the editors in question blocked when they persistently continue to reinsert inappropriate material.

- @Strafidlo: I am working on removing all non-notable staff that doesn't meet WP:LISTPEOPLE, as well as others. Below are the ones that I was told, because at first I wasn't a fan of removing the news personalities, but the more I read, the more it made since. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 04:24, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television Stations/Archive 9#Arguments for Excluding "Where Are They Now?"
- Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television Stations/Archive 10#Current on-air staff list discussion
- Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television Stations/Archive 9#Alumni (and current staff) Lists
- Virtually every TV station with a news department has a Website with a page featuring its current news team and listing their assignments. A link to that page would be a perfectly appropriate substitute for the exhaustive lists which appear in so many WP station articles. But I was not aware that there had been a discussion of a policy change; until recently, the convention was that the entire current staff was listed, then "notable" former staff, with the minimum standard for notability being a WP article. 67.197.243.87 (talk) 11:24, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Just because a station lists its employees on the website, doesn't mean Wikipedia needs to as well. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 17:18, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- So I replaced the single "notable" current WCNC employee with a link to the station site listing the entire on-air staff, and you reverted? By the way, the station slogans over the years can be sourced - I would recommend that you fact-tag them rather than removing them entirely. 67.197.243.87 (talk) 23:44, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yes I reverted it because a link simply does nothing but give a link to the list of staff. If the staff isn't notable, then it shouldn't be on Wikipedia per WP:LISTPEOPLE. Also, there is no point in having them if they are unsourced. They need a reliable source to back them up. YouTube is considered a questionable source, but I am not a fan of YouTube as a source. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 23:58, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- A station's Website is not considered a reliable source for its staff listing? I know, it's a "primary source," but a list of on-air personalities is hardly something that needs independent verification. I don't disagree with removing the long lists in the articles which duplicate information that can be found elsewhere, but what's the problem with providing a link to the original source? 67.197.243.87 (talk) 00:04, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- Primary sources are not sufficient or original enough. It will need a third-party source for it to be reliable. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 00:27, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- Not going to argue the point, but the Website of a television station's news department would be considered a sufficiently reliable source for a news story, so why does its listing of its staff need independent confirmation (which isn't going to exist anywhere)? It's a simple list, not an argument or idea requiring verification. Just saying. I do appreciate the work you're doing cleaning up these pages. I'm going to work on trying to source some of the historical station slogans when I get a chance (probably by citing the date of a local newspaper ad in which that slogan appeared). 67.197.243.87 (talk) 11:57, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why, as it was all apart of the discussions up above. I'm just telling you what I was told. Best of luck, Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 12:27, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- I have a question regarding the updated WGRZ page with staff removals. In the past, I understood that the listing for former staff on these pages would not list anyone except those who were considered notable. That, I can agree with. However, how would the notable requirement apply to current staff? Normally a station's website is going to be considered up to date with their staff members and would be an official source. Also on that specific page, the majority of staff members did meet the primary/secondary source requirement by having not only the station's site bio, but also a link to either newspaper articles or other sites that cover local media. In this case, I would have to disagree and argue that their current staff should not be removed as they are part of the station or group that owns the station. The other question where I have to make the point is where you mentioned to another user where you were just doing what you were told. Can you give any specifics regarding the moderator consensus to remove staff? A potential concern is with 200+ stations across the United States and across the world, large market stations will automatically have more notable staff compared to smaller market stations. How can the notable person requirement be applied equitably?Babyox4420 (talk) 23:14, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

In the past, I understood that the listing for former staff on these pages would not list anyone except those who were considered notable. That, I can agree with. However, how would the notable requirement apply to current staff? Normally a station's website is going to be considered up to date with their staff members and would be an official source. Also on that specific page, the majority of staff members did meet the primary/secondary source requirement by having not only the station's site bio, but also a link to either newspaper articles or other sites that cover local media. In this case, I would have to disagree and argue that their current staff should not be removed as they are part of the station or group that owns the station. The other question where I have to make the point is where you mentioned to another user where you were just doing what you were told. Can you give any specifics regarding the moderator consensus to remove staff? A potential concern is with 200+ stations across the United States and across the world, large market stations will automatically have more notable staff compared to smaller market stations. How can the notable person requirement be applied equitably?Babyox4420 (talk) 23:14, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why, as it was all apart of the discussions up above. I'm just telling you what I was told. Best of luck, Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 12:27, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Not going to argue the point, but the Website of a television station's news department would be considered a sufficiently reliable source for a news story, so why does its listing of its staff need independent confirmation (which isn't going to exist anywhere)? It's a simple list, not an argument or idea requiring verification. Just saying. I do appreciate the work you're doing cleaning up these pages. I'm going to work on trying to source some of the historical station slogans when I get a chance (probably by citing the date of a local newspaper ad in which that slogan appeared). 67.197.243.87 (talk) 11:57, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Primary sources are not sufficient or original enough. It will need a third-party source for it to be reliable. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 00:27, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- A station's Website is not considered a reliable source for its staff listing? I know, it's a "primary source," but a list of on-air personalities is hardly something that needs independent verification. I don't disagree with removing the long lists in the articles which duplicate information that can be found elsewhere, but what's the problem with providing a link to the original source? 67.197.243.87 (talk) 00:04, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yes I reverted it because a link simply does nothing but give a link to the list of staff. If the staff isn't notable, then it shouldn't be on Wikipedia per WP:LISTPEOPLE. Also, there is no point in having them if they are unsourced. They need a reliable source to back them up. YouTube is considered a questionable source, but I am not a fan of YouTube as a source. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 23:58, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- So I replaced the single "notable" current WCNC employee with a link to the station site listing the entire on-air staff, and you reverted? By the way, the station slogans over the years can be sourced - I would recommend that you fact-tag them rather than removing them entirely. 67.197.243.87 (talk) 23:44, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Just because a station lists its employees on the website, doesn't mean Wikipedia needs to as well. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 17:18, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
“ | Lists of people must meet the criteria listed at WP:LISTPEOPLE. This isn't the first station article this has been discussed on, and articles have been protected to prevent these additions, or the editors in question blocked when they persistently continue to reinsert inappropriate material. If a name is included in the article in this way, it has to show that it's relevant to the subject by meeting WP:LISTPEOPLE. Just because a station lists its employees doesn't mean Wikipedia needs to as well, and other station articles needing similar cleanup doesn't mean this one doesn't need to be cleaned up, because whenever it's actually discussed on a station article, the end result is the same; the names that don't meet WP:LISTPEOPLE are removed. | ” |
- There is currently a discussion here about it. You will find out a way better explanation than I can give you. A few of the editors that have currently commented on it, are the ones that told me. I was against removing the names at first, but when they explained it to me and I read, the more it made since. They had told me that a primary source from the station's website was not sufficient enough, because I had made that argument as well. About the newspaper article reference, sorry I didn't see that, but I know they had talked about in the discussions mentioned that they only wanted names with a Wikipedia article. So that is something you should as at the Wikiproject Television Stations talk page. I have listed three articles above that are archives of previous discussions about this on the WP:WikiProject Television Stations talk page. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 23:39, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
Question
I am on board also, if you know of any other TV Stations like that. Saw some similar to the ones you've been editing. Just let me know. (JoeCool950 (talk) 22:12, 17 September 2014 (UTC))
- Sounds good! Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 22:43, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- For the news anchors that are notable in Bakersfield, create a page for them?? I totally agree with the discussion. If you are not from the area, then the names would mean nothing, or I mean just the names themselves, if you are following what I am getting at. Would they be ok with me doing that? JoeCool950 (talk) 00:07, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
- @JoeCool950: I get what you are saying, but the question is "are they notable?" Your difference between a notable person vs. mine or someone else's could be totally different. At the end, it really depends on the reviewers of the article. The main thing is that they if they are notable, do those persons meet WP:LISTPEOPLE? Are there reliable sources and third-party sources, besides the one on the news station website? Have you created an article about a living person before? If not, you can see this article about creating your first article. If you have, you can use Wikipedia:Starting an article, which I use if I create an article.

NCAA article
Corky, thanks for directing me to post my comments about the NCAA page to that page's talk page. I am relatively new to wikipedia, at least as editing goes. As I've detailed in my comments, that page could use a bit of work. Many of the references are to the NCAA's own site and the NCAA has deleted them. They can be found at archive.org, and it appears that the history section on the wiki page was originally just a copy of the NCAA's self-written page. That history is lacking. While I consider myself a decent researcher, I'm not much of a writer. Is there any mechanism for soliciting someone to rewrite the history section? 2610:8:7800:14:20A:95FF:FEC4:244A (talk) 20:04, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
- No problem! I went ahead and tagged those references with {{Dead link}}. If you believe, or know that the content is copied-pasted from the website's archive, then you can tag the section with {{Copypaste|History|url=URL|date=Month year}}. You'll need to provide the URL to where it can be found. Not all of the text in the history section is a copy paste, because some of them have third-party sources.
- As for the mechanism part for soliciting another user to re-write it, I'm not sure. You can tag your talk page with {{Help me}} and list your question. Someone will be able to help you with that part. (Sorry I'm not much help!)
- Have you thought about creating your own account? You'll have more access to things here on Wikipedia if you do. You can see Wikipedia:Why create an account? for more information if you'd like.
- I hope I gave you suggestions, and sorry I wasn't much help on the re-writing part. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 20:46, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Northern Iowa Panthers
I apologize if I removed anything. I didn't realize that's what I was doing. Was just having problems getting stuff to save and look right. Was surprised no one had written more about the UNI baseball program because they had some decent MLB players come through there in the 60's. Watt was on World Series winning teams as a closer and Josephson was a serviceable Catcher. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.129.142.154 (talk) 21:29, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
- That's fine... but is there something wrong with the the History of UNI nickname section? I know it's unsourced, but you should really just tag it and not remove it. You are also removing the references/external links section, as well as the categories and templates. I have put those back. Please do not remove them again. Thanks, Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 21:40, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
WOW!
I've seen you've been a busy little beaver lately...going to town removing news teams. I only mention this because I just wanted to make sure you were putting your money where your mouth was, and not one of these wiki-elitists who like to talk and throw around wiki policy, but not want to get their hands dirty and do actual work. I've got all the Cleveland stations cleaned up, and a few more around the state, so hopefully we can be at peace. --Vjmlhds (talk) 17:43, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- No problem! I'm not going to say something and not do it; I can't stand those kind of people. I was told basically the same thing you were told, and I read the articles they listed. I read them and decided to remove the staff as I was getting tired of another area I was working in. I did see where you were coming from, though. I wasn't aware of the discussions before they mentioned them to me. I just want to let you know that I never had anything against you, I just wanted to let you know why they couldn't be on here by what I was told. Have a good rest of your day!

Big East Userbox?
Hey Corkythehornetfan, I love your userbox for the Big 12, and I was wondering if you would make one for the Big East. Would you okay with that? If so, thanks! --User:NJ Jurrjens (talk) 05:44, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Miller Lite
Hey. I believe the logo is covered under fair use, as it is a low resolution logo. Additionally, it was created by Miller Brewing Company. I'm not sure how the tags should be changed, but it is OK to use. If you can help me with that, it would be great! Thanks! Jgera5 (talk) 15:30, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Jgera5: I added the fair use box, but it still needs a URL link to show where you got it from. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 17:05, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
UTPA Broncs logo
What is your source for claiming the logo I posted of the UTPA Broncs isn't their primary logo? I refer you to their athletic website utpabrocs.com where it is used as the primary logo. I refer you to [wacsports.com wacsports.com], their NCAA conference, where it is the primary logo used. Again that is the case on ESPN.com and at Yahoo. When it comes to the primary logos on Wikipedia, the box logo you have shown is what is used for the season pages. However the primary logo, which is what I posted and you changed, is what is used on their athletic team pages. I have four sources. What is your source for saying it is changed? Unless you have some sort of other evidence that shows they have changed their logo, then please stop changing accurate information. Bigddan11 (talk) 22:54, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Bigddan11: They have it listed on the Trademark Licensing page under the Inside Athletics tab. More specifically here. It shows you the primary, alternate and word mark and says the horse is the "Official mascot logo" not Primary Athletic logo. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 14:29, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
WTAMU Seal
Hi there. I need to ask you to please not use the President's Seal on the Wikipedia page. I took it down and replaced with the official University logo and I saw that you added it back. According to the University's Graphic Standards the Seal is restricted to use by the University President. Additionally I have email documentation from the University President's office asking to remove the seal from Wikipedia. I am going to reapply this edit. Please let me know if you have any issues or questions. Thanks.
Roachetta (talk) 20:51, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Roachetta: That's fine, but you saying you have an email is just saying it and not proof. I'll go head and put the seal up for deletion. In the future, you might want to provide that proof. Also, do you have a connection to WTAMU? Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 21:06, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns
You continue to undo any updates I post, concerning the name/nickname of this school. If you read the following link: http://www.louisiana.edu/about-us/media/proper-use-universitys-name, you will see that your edits are improper and illegal, as per the Louisiana Board of Regents By-Laws. When in reference to all athletic teams, the preferred and correct usage of naming is Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns. Please withdraw your revisions to my updates, as these have been made in haste and are unfounded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.45.184.68 (talk) 22:49, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- See Talk:Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns for more information. The users on Wikipedia have voted to keep it at its current name. If you don't think it should be that name, talk about it on the talk page. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 22:54, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
Question
What do I need to do, if I want my Userpage deleted?? Do I get to keep Sandbox, with Userpage stuff, in case I change my mind?? (JoeCool950 (talk) 03:55, 31 October 2014 (UTC))
- @JoeCool950: Tag your page with {{dbu-u1}} (It will place a tag at the top of your page and lets an administrator know to delete it). You'll still be able to keep your Sandbox, as it would only be your user page that gets deleted. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 01:21, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
