Thank you for your edits to Lubbock, Texas and uploading the file. In the future please upload such photos of your own directly to the Wikimedia Commons. Additionally, do you know the date the photo was taken? You state in the photo description that it was taken in February 2013, but this is obviously incorrect because there is green vegetation.

Pac-12 Conference
Redraiderengineer I'm not mad at you for now but please don't revert that again because it's most likely that the Pac-12 will get defunct because there are only 2 teams left. 97.114.180.38 (talk) 22:59, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

List of colleges and universities in the United States by endowment
Hello, I am the one who keeps adding the State University of New York to this list. Please stop removing this and refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_University_of_New_York/ You cannot use one source of information for endowments. 24.103.153.67 (talk) 19:56, 7 December 2023 (UTC)


 * As mentioned on your talk page, the article's NACUBO policy was reached through consensus. The article's talk page includes the previous discussions and reasoning. Redraiderengineer (talk) 20:16, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks!
I've updated block settings to deny talk page access. Thanks for the heads-up. Joyous! Noise! 03:55, 12 December 2023 (UTC)


 * , there are several revisions at the user's talk page, one at Talk:SpaceX Starship flight tests, and an edit summary at SpaceX Starship flight tests with racial slurs. Is there a certain process to follow to get these revisions/edit summary deleted? Redraiderengineer (talk) 04:01, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm on it!

thanks for HLS logo provenance
The problem was that the commons description page that you pointed to did not actually point to any official NASA documents, so the copyright assertion was questionable. I have added a pointer there to the paper you referenced. -Arch dude (talk) 21:16, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

January 2024: Disruptive editor at it again
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents regarding continued disruptive WP:BLUDGEONing by User:Redacted II at the talk page for SpaceX Starship. The user has been warned multiple times before but is still going at it, so it would be appreciated if you could leave your thoughts there. Thank you.

List of colleges and universities in the United States by endowment
Please don’t just keep edit warring. If the page needs protection, go request that. If the issue is a content dispute, seek to resolve it. I have raised the issue on the talk page regarding non-NACUBO data, so please feel free to reply there. — HTGS (talk) 04:29, 9 January 2024 (UTC)


 * HTGS, thank you for bringing your concern to my attention. My intention is stewardship in accordance with the existing local consensus and Wikipedia policies (primarily verifiability). Following the BRD revert strategy, my objective isn't edit warring, and if there is a "re-revert," I will attempt to start a discussion on the article talk page.
 * The page likely doesn't qualify for protection at the current frequency of edits, and preemptive page protection is generally not allowed. Redraiderengineer (talk) 23:11, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Disadvantage
Hey, this is Anerdw. You reverted one of my edits to the Disadvantage article for not citing sources, which I agree with. However, the sourcing problem seems to extend to basically the entire article. I'd like to add some citations, but most of the sources that we could potentially cite are blog posts and thus maybe not WP:RS. Considering the lack of alternative references, do you think it's best to cite them anyway? I'll link some articles on the subject here: (1) (2) (3) Anerdw (talk) 02:27, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

SpaceX terminologies
Hi Redraiderengineer,

Thank you for rightfully correcting my mistakes on the SpaceX Starship article. After considering your comments there, I decided to go to the SpaceX site itself to see if they had any better terminology. (When I first started editing this article I seem to recall that the terminology as described below was not yet in place at SpaceX.) Please check out what I found out at the Spacex Starship page. It seems to me that we could consider this as SpaceX's "official" terminology on this topic:

Starship =             The complete launch assembly with both stages included. Starship spacecraft =  The second stage only of a Starship, the "spacecraft stage." Super Heavy Rocket =   The first stage only of a Starship (and possibly the first stage of other SpaceX configurations), the "launch vehicle stage."

I would like to go back through the article and make sure that the terminology used in at least the lead of the article matches the above, if that is OK with you? Later we could fix the rest of the article. I think that it is important that the article matches SpaceX's terminology, and that the article educates our readership sufficiently about how SpaceX uses its terminology to describe these two components of the Starship. Would you be up for this?

Thanks,
