Elon University article using Athletics logo
Hello. Thanks for updating the Elon articles! The problem with this is that is goes against Wikipedia guidelines, specifically WP:NFCC § 17. The Athletics logo can only be used on the main athletics article, and the monogram (public domain file) has to be used on all sub-articles (e.g. Elon Phoenix men's basketball). This applies for the Elon University article. If you don't want the monogram in the university article, then that's fine, but the main athletics logo cannot be listed there.

Then it ought to come down. The monogram isn't a public domain image, it's a non-free image along with the other university marks. --Cspires82 (talk) 21:13, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I disagree... File:Elon Athletics wordmark.png is too simple to be copyrighted or non-free. It is a letter, which is in the public domain. It would be trademarked, though. 🍀 Corkythe hornetfan  🍀 21:20, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * You're correct. It's not copyrighted, so you're saying that the non-free clause can only be applied to a copyright-able image? Not a trademarked image?
 * That's correct. WP:NFCC guidelines, like the one I mentioned above, are for copyrighted images only. I'm not saying copyrighted images aren't trademarked, I'm just saying it just doesn't apply to the free images. 🍀 Corkythe hornetfan  🍀 21:32, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Understood. Thanks for the clarification. The monogram should foot the bill then. Thanks for the help. :-) --Cspires82 (talk) 21:36, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem! I hate the guidelines... personally, I believe the non-free athletics logo should be used in university articles, but many others will disagree and it just isn't worth my time arguing with them! Thanks for updating them! 🍀 Corkythe hornetfan  🍀 22:03, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
