Logo size

Does anybody have any objection to removing the forced upsizing of the logo? It's blurry and doesn't really need to be that big to be readable. Pending a 48 hour objection period I indend to remove the upsize parameter. Hasteur (talk) 03:01, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article still clearly fails WP:ORG

Despite being nominated for deletion at AFD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Young Conservatives of Texas), this article still does not have a single notability reference. It CLEARLY fails WP:ORG and WP:GNG in its current state. Monty ₈₄₅ 20:44, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If there are sufficient sources out there then it passes the notability requirements even if the sources aren't in the article. It just makes it a shoddy article at the moment. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:53, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Eyewitness account: in 1980 I was a hippie objectivist apprehensive about soviet H-bombs and energy shortages and subscribed to YAF before realizing it was a religious hate group. I remember Steve Munisteri vaguely, and attended meetings but was the only person there in sandals and shoulder-length hair (while not female). I thought they changed names to YCT to get rid of hippie objectivist infiltrators and had no clue of any disagreement with HQ. That same year I discovered the LP and have been a happy camper since. According to one young tool in the YAF newsletter mail section, to be conservative you had to want men with guns to ban abortion. I can produce a letter about nuclear energy, but do not have the old newsletters to offer as proof. translator (talk) 18:29, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

COI/paid editors on this article

@Viewmont Viking and Peaceray: the list of officers added recently strongly suggests that the two new editors are among them. I've posted to both their talk pages. Of course they are unlikely to have known our views on this sort of thing. Doug Weller talk 12:05, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
