License tagging for Image:Heartland trophy.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Heartland trophy.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 18:05, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Big Ten newsletter, February 2007
Hello all Big Ten Wikipedians, here's the manual newsletter (becuase I suck with templates :P) on February. As it says on the Wikiproject, this month's main article is the Big Ten Conference, primarily because that article needs so much help right now. Everything seems to be going well so far. I'd be helping more but I had other things I was doing. Glad to see a lot of members joining though. I'm thinking of starting an assessment division of our own, but I'm not sure yet. Give me your opinions on if we should start tagging people as well btw. If you guys wish to start tagging college presidents of them, that would be a good start. The project is still partially in development, so any advice helps. Go Bucks! (and spartans, badgers, wolverines, illini, etc.)-- Wizardman 01:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I've tried to clean up the article. But it was a bunch of BS. Orangemarlin 04:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Badger Traditions
The "Shoot Him Like a Horse" is not enough of a 'tradition' to be mentioned in Wikipedia. Too few students even participate in the chant. I am guessing that you have never been to a Badger football home game before. There are HUNDREDS of traditons much more well-known and wide-spread than the one you suggest. There is the students' quite famous chant of "EAT SHIT, FUCK YOU", the "Jump Around" song at the end of the third quarter, the Wave pattern, the student's "We Want More Beer" chant, among many others. I have been to many Badger games, and I have never even heard "Shoot Hime Like A Horse," though I am not denying that it exists. If you really want to add another tradition to the football section in University of Wisconsin-Madison, please pick a more well-known one. – Lordmontu  (talk) • (contribs) 04:29, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, you guessed wrong. I have, indeed, attended a Badger football game at Camp Randall, and I can tell you that that particular chant is not only well-known amongst Madison and beyond, but it has made a strong impact in the psyche of viewing Badger fans. Stusutcliffe 05:32, 1 March 2007 (UTC)StuSutcliffe 05:32, 1 Mar 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello there you three . . . sorry to jump in on this! I have been to a number of Badger games as well, and I agree that this definitely does occur (the "shoot him . . ." chant). But I agree with Lordmontu that as a tradition it is less noteworthy than many others. As he says, there are many traditions that are more common, more well known, and more worry of mention. For that reason, I think either more noteworthy traditions need to be included or I am inclined to remove the "shoot him . . ." chant again. Personally, I don't think any of these chants or traditions are truly notable; I don't think they should be included in the article at all. For that reason, I am inclined to ask for an explanation/reasoning for including the chant. That is to say, what purpose does it serve? For example, you (Stusutcliffe) assert that the chant has "made a strong impact in the psyche of viewing Badger fans". Is this personal opinion or based on outside sources? If so, perhaps we such information should be included. Sorry to put the burden of proof on you! I hope that's alright. I am sure that you know as well as I that making Wikipedia better takes a lot of work, sweat, and tears (well, hopefully not tears . . .). I hope to hear from you soon! To Lordmontu, how about we wait two days for a response, and if we don't get one, revert the chant statement? Fair enough? JeffreyN 06:04, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Also, is there a better source for the chant than the one given? JeffreyN 06:06, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * In light of the fact that the chant statement was just removed again, can we discuss this before descending into an edit war? I know this is not fair to you Stusutcliffe since the article is in a state you dislike, but can we work this out without editing the article back and forth? I think this is in our best interest and that of Wikipedia. Thank you :) JeffreyN 06:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your thoughtful comments, JeffreyN. I'm afraid I'm going to give up on this one, though...even though every single reference to the "shoot him like a horse" chant appears alongside a note of disgust, every time I edit the article, it's just going to get reverted or undone, and I have better things to do than to argue with deniers.

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:37, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Nap Lajoie
I completely agree with you that SABR is the top dog among baseball statistics researchers, consequently I use Retrosheet whenever I can when creating or upgrading baseball articles. Please note, SABR produces Retrosheet, which many of the other premier baseball statistic organizations use to compile there stats, like Baseball-Reference. As far as Nap's batting average for the 1901 season, SABR recognizes it as .426, and so does MLB. What source you are using amounts to a statistical theory paper which compared different eras of baseball, and the stats involved are therefore not official.

Please take care not to add stub to an article like Old School (quartet) which already has a specific stub tag; and please remember that all stub tags go at the end, not the top - see WP:ORDER. Thanks. Pam D  19:25, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Deaths in 2018
Hi. Just to clarify why I reverted your edit on the above page: all names contained in the page MUST be wikilinked. No blacklinks are allowed, while redlinks stay there until 30 days hence, after which they would be removed if still red. Bluelinks are valid irrespective of where they lead (such as in a redirect like Korver's) - it's a shame that someone thought it proper to direct him to his more famous sibling. However, rest assured that Korver, if he does not get his own article, will be removed after 30 days too. Thanks. Ref (chew) (do) 14:46, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place to address the redirect ESPN plus. The discussion will occur at Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 March 20 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.  O.N.R.  (talk) 12:24, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

BHS chapters
This is in response to your undo of my last edit to Barbershop Harmony Society. I got my numbers from the BHS chapter/chorus finder. I selected each district and just counted how many chapters there were. It does list each chapter and each chorus, however, so you have to be a little careful about when to stop counting. I'm guessing the Society website might be more up to date than each individual district website. Plus it is one source instead of 17. Let me know your thoughts. --Lasunncty (talk) 18:40, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
