UCLA colors
James, I just wanted to get your thoughts on the your color name change. I don't know much about UCLA, so I figured I'd ask. At Module:College color/data, we have been going by the media guides/traditions pages on athletic teams websites. UCLA lists their colors as "Blue and Gold" in the media guides (and have for at least the past couple of years, as well as the Traditions webpage. I think I have argued this in the past with someone else on the "True Blue" name. Most generally, as I believe is the case here, "Powderkeg Blue and "Westwood Gold" are just the branding names as a some universities have been known to use different names for branding. I cannot find anything else that says otherwise. Thoughts? Corky Buzz by the Hornet's Nest  18:56, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * You're more familiar with the topic; I defer to your judgment. Feel free to revert. James (talk/contribs) 23:02, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * That being said, "Powderkeg Blue" is used by reliable independent sources, and at least one source says it is slightly different than True Blue.  I don't know if that's correct. James (talk/contribs) 23:10, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for those links. I'm thinking "Westwood Gold" is referring to Westwood, Los Angeles (home of UCLA) per the dailynews.com article and "Sons of Westwood"? "Powder Keg Blue" is an actual color, but far from UCLA's color; "Westwood Gold" is not and UCLA's is just Pantone 130-C. The full brand guide also shows a "Mighty Gold". My guess is it is just a branding name... Corky Buzz by the Hornet's Nest  01:03, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Alex Shih (talk) 05:20, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
 * Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
 * Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

Hi James! As you may remember, this particular article has been the subject of a lot or PR editing, by the subject of it and apparently by her students. I cannot recall where, (COIN?) but it was the subject of a thread on a drama board at least once. I reverted an edit yesterday by another new editor who left me a note here and had also left a preemptory note on their talk page about the edit. This reeks of being a redeux of the previous incident. Just so you are aware. Hope it is well with you! John from Idegon (talk) 18:47, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Re COI
Hi James, I totally see what you mean. I actually just edited that as an in-class example for my students on the differences between Edit and Edit Source. I'm collaborating with the WikieEdu program to get college students to edit Wiki articles, and this edit was made as part of an in-class demo on editing. Should I delete it? Or revert it? I don't feel strongly about including that edit. Thanks. Chapmansh (talk) 16:50, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * No worries! I've already reverted it. James (talk/contribs) 16:53, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Duchess of Sutherland
I note you've picked up the disambiguation issue on Duchess of Sutherland - I am enough of a novice to have not spotted that your solution solves much of the problem. The rest of it appears to me to be a "content" matter - perhaps making sure that Sutherland (disambiguation) has a bit of extra content - which would include some female Sutherland titles that point, amongst other places, to the moved Duchess of Sutherland page. I suppose it may be unsatisfactory having one disambiguation page point at another, but I think that is down to the complexity of the names of the people we are trying to direct the reader to - the Duchess of Sutherland that I originally searched for had at least 4 different names in her life, two of them including the word "Sutherland". Between all the different Duchesses with an article on them, there are a lot of alternative names - and all of them went by the less formal title of "Lady Sutherland". Thanks for your involvement.
