The CSU Dispute
There is some sort of movement of San Jose State University students to designate the San Jose campus of the California State University as the "flagship" campus. See the discussion at the California State University article and talk page. There is no official support for such efforts, despite the comments on that article.

Such an effort mocks the University of California designation of UC Berkeley as the flagship campus of the UC system. As is well know, UC Berkeley was in fact the original campus, and all of the other campuses of the UC system were creates as branches of that first campus (or were converted into branch campuses from predecessor schools). Those campuses operated as branch of the main campus until becoming a seperate campus. In the California State University system, the opposite happened (other than the Chico and Pomona campuses and the recent creation of campuses in Ventura and San Marcos), and generally a series of seperate, independant normal colleges were collected together to create the CSU system. Although the San Jose campus is the oldest public college or university in California, even older than UC Berkeley, the selection of the San Jose campus as a flagship ignores other critical facts for selecting a flagship campus, such research activities, student populations, donations, etc. The effort to select San Jose as the flagship campus is misguided and presently (2006) lacks any official support.

 * See also the discussion at the Talk:San José State University and Talk:California State University pages. Guest 19 February 2006.
 * A supporter of the SJSU renaming campaign responded on Talk:California State University. I'd reply to him in more detail, but his actions (vandalizing my user page as an anonymous user and then hypocritically accusing me of vandalism simply because he didn't like my edits) has stressed me out about the issue. Plus, you seem to be better versed in CSU history than I am. NeoChaosX 02:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you, but I think the recent deletions/redirections based upon the overall consensus of all Wikipedians has resulted in an appropriate resolution to this dispute. Streltzer 22:34, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I certainly hope so. --NeoChaosX 20:15, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

SDSU Professors Vernor Vinge and Suzette Elgin
I'm actually not too familiar with sci-fi literature. I know of Elgin primarily because she's a linguist, and only secondarily for being a peace activist and sci-fi writer. Serapio 14:44, 2 November 2005 (UTC)


 * San Diego (especially UCSD, e.g., David Brin, etc., and to a lesser extent SDSU) seems to have knack for producing prodigious purveyors of science fiction literature (alliteration intended)... maybe its produced by something in the air, water, etc.? ;-)

SDSU
I want to thank you for your hard work on the SDSU page, you have added a lot of signficant contributions. Have you been to SDSU recently to take the trolley picture? I am currently starting my second year there and I will likely be taking multiple pictures of the dorms, signficant buildings, and other structures on campus to soon add to the article. If you can think of any other notable sites that should have pictures, let me know, and I'll do my best to get them. Anyway, keep up the good work. --Nehrams2020 21:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You are welcome. I enjoy this process and I like the interactive nature of Wikipedia. I think we should probably have a few pictures of the new campus construction, like the College of Arts & Letters, Bioscience Center, and Student Health buildings, so if you can capture and post those images then that would be great. Also, there is an observatory dome on top of the Physics/Astronomy Building and I can't find much information about that...how about doing some research on that as well as getting a photograph? Streltzer 00:32, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, by the way, I did not take the trolley picture. That was posted by a light-rail enthusiast, and it was originally for several other wiki articles. Streltzer 00:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll work on getting those pictures and a few others, I'll just add them to the gallery section and they can be removed if necessary. It may take me a few weeks to get the pictures though, since I want to try and take the pictures on weekends when there are no students in the way. --Nehrams2020 18:31, 1 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I stumbled across this article. Should he be added to notable Alumni? If so go ahead, I wouldn't know how to lable it. Nehrams2020 03:45, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Interesting, perhaps we could add a new listing for "military"? Streltzer 22:27, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Edits to Henry James and other articles
This crude vandalism edit seems way out of line with your previous contributions. What's going on? Casey Abell 19:18, 20 October 2006 (UTC)


 * You might also want to recheck what you did at Real estate. Your mistaken reversion at Homer has already been corrected. Andrew Dalby 20:46, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

SDSU pictures
Unfortunately, my camera broke a few weeks ago and I am unable to take any pictures as of right now. However, I will be getting a new camera sometime within this month. I guess if you're coming down for the game you can take the pictures then, or wait until I get my new camera. I'm sure you'd probably prefer to take them and get the angle you think would be best. They did finish the Student Health Services building and it actually looks pretty good. Construction of the new swimming pool complex is also currently under construction and will finish this spring. I'll be sure to get a picture of that once it is completed.--Nehrams2020 08:29, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:SDSU-library-image.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:SDSU-library-image.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 17:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:SDSU-library-image.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:SDSU-library-image.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 17:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MLML.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MLML.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Mlo_sign.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Mlo_sign.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC).

Template:San Diego State University
Hi. I'm the designer of the current iteration of the CSU-type templates. I noticed that you seem to be the main contributor to San Diego State University, and that you added another subheading today. As a quick note, whenever you add a new subheading to this type of template, in order to not break it, you need to increase the left-hand title block's rowspan by 1, like so. Happy editing, and thanks for putting so much work into this template. It's the fullest and most impressive representative of its class. --Dynaflow  babble  02:51, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

San Diego State University history
Hey, I just created the article History of San Diego State University after several months of working on it in my sandbox. Feel free to take a look at it and copyedit/take out/expand. I'm hoping to get it to GA status at some point, and it is already well-sourced and covers a large portion of the history. Some sections need further updates for recent decades and I plan to also at some point visit the university archives for other documents to include for sources.

Wikipedia Loves Art
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject, or I happen to know personally).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia Loves Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there!  howcheng  {chat} 00:28, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

I am wondering why
you took the federal government sponsorship (not very well phrased, perhaps, but still encyclopedic) reference out of Donal Hord? Carptrash (talk) 00:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Very good question. I believe that the article clearly identifies these works as being produced during a time in which the artist was receiving a stipend from the federal government; but I don't see that such income constitutes government sponsorship of any particular piece of artwork. Here is the paragraph as it reads after my revision:

Do you agree, or do you think that it needs further clarity? Streltzer (talk) 17:41, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Col cs bakersfield.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Col cs bakersfield.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Bhockey10 (talk) 02:55, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

SDSU logo
Streltzer, please upload differing images under different names. In addition, you need to upload it under a proper rationale with proper referencing. The image you uploaded is indeed the current logo, but the one you replaced is the wordmark. The foremer is a copyrighted image while the latter is not protected by copyright, but only by trademark laws. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Buffs (talk) 22:12, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand. I found the wordmark, which I previously uploaded several years ago. I will replace it. Streltzer (talk) 16:07, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
