Fair use rationale for Image:Cardlogo.gif
Image:Cardlogo.gif 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 this Wikipedia article 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 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Article Cleanup
Ive removed the tag that has been in place since March 2007. The article is not significantly different from any other Texas State University System page, certainly not enough to merit the tag. If anyone disagrees, please post with detailed suggestions of how the page could be improved. Texasfirebrand (talk) 14:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Coordinate error
The coordinates need the following fixes: ThomasHorn7 (talk) 01:55, 20 July 2010 (UTC) Error has been resoloved —Preceding unsigned comment added by ThomasHorn7 (talk • contribs) 20:07, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The coordinates are completely wrong, I have then down to the 1000th decimal place in degrees (30.042, -94.075). You are welcome.

Center for Teaching and Learning
Geauxsamp The new heading you created is not sufficiently important enough to warrant it's own heading, I am moving it to the beginning of the Academics article. I'm also re-arranging your edit in the Setzer Center to be more concise. If you have any questions please cite them here on the articles discussion page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ThomasHorn7 (talk • contribs) 17:08, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Cardlogo.png
The image File:Cardlogo.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.

"Doppler effect" during football games?
In the section about LU traditions, the article claims that the "L Yell" somehow achieves the Doppler effect by everyone screaming in order to intimidate the other team.

The Doppler effect is the change in the pitch generated by a moving entity as perceived by a standing entity--e.g., a guy hearing a car rush past. The movement causes each newly generated sound wave to be generated in a different position than the previous, so as the entity moves, sound waves in front of the entity sound to be at a higher pitch and those after sound to be at a lower pitch.

None of this has anything to do with a lot of students screaming in a football stadium. Nothing is moving.

College of Arts and Sciences
We'd like to request that the Lamar University section for the College of Arts and Sciences be updated with the following. The new content reorders the fields of study and adds these sentences to explain there are degree programs but also areas of concentration within those degree programs. "There are many programs that students can choose as concentrations that will prepare them for professional careers. The College of Arts and Sciences are spread out through nine buildings across Lamar University’s campus." We also request that the 2012 information about the nursing school ranking in U.S. News and World Report be removed as it is clearly outdated. Shelly Vitanza (talk) 13:41, 19 July 2019 (UTC)ShellyvitanzaShelly Vitanza (talk) 13:41, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

The College of Arts and Sciences houses a wide variety of Lamar’s academic programs. Fields on study include but are not limited to: Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computer Science, Earth and Space Science, English and Modern Languages, History, Mathematics, Nursing, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Social Work and Criminal Justice. There are many programs that students can choose as concentrations that will prepare them for professional careers. The College of Arts and Sciences are spread out through nine buildings across Lamar University’s campus. The College is home to the JoAnne Gay Dishman School of Nursing. The School of Nursing consists of BSN and MSN degree programs. These programs have recorded a nearly 100% pass rate on the NCLEX-RN exam, a national exam required to receive a license to practice.
 * you need to provide reliable, independent sources for additions you are proposing to the article. You should also note that if content is added, it must be written in a way that is neutral, rather than sounds like it is promotional and belongs on the college's website rather than in an encyclopaedia. You can also use the Template:Request edit here on the talk page when you make suggestions which will bring your request to the attention of other editors.

Setzer Student Center
Please use this photo to replace all existing photos of the Setzer Student Center. The center underwent a $28 million renovation and was opened in 2018. The photos on the current page are old and not representative of the new center. Shelly Vitanza (talk) 14:05, 19 July 2019 (UTC)ShellyvitanzaShelly Vitanza (talk) 14:05, 19 July 2019 (UTC)


 * @Shellyvitanza: The picture of the student center in the article is yours. That said, is the building obscured by trees on all sides like that? Any chance you could get a shot of the building where it isn't so obscured by tree limbs? —C.Fred (talk) 12:07, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
