Thanks for your efforts to clean up QEBH. The article previously sucked. You've really improved it. I wish they were were a little more forthright in members. Right now it looks very provincial. Thanks again! Americasroof 04:07, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Mizzou

Hello, I noticed you've made edits to University of Missouri articles or that you are in some way connected to the University of Missouri. I thought you might want to become a member of the Mizzou WikiProject. We've recently built the project page and started a drive to improve Mizzou related articles. Please take a look to edit an article or add one of your own. Once an article's status has been agreed upon, feel free to stop by and lend a hand in getting it to featured article status. Hope you can participate!

Theta Nu Epsilon Vandalism

Hi there, I noticed you have an interst in TNE. Watch out for the agenda taking place right now by the Alpha chapter to remove cited and verifiable info. They tend not to like Purdue- which has cited info that you can check for yourself- and they also do not like the whole TNE today section which they are desperately trying to remove- especially the sourced article about them being less like a secret society on campus. No one should allow sourced info to be removed on account that it does not suit the agenda or taste of a certain group. The current Alpha is a bully! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.141.156.118 (talk) 04:18, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I might suggest that the bad blood you are seeing on the TNE article is being generated primarily by an unreg. user sniping from several IP's into articles about Wesleyan University, TNE, and Middletown, Connecticut who has been previously blocked for similar disruptive behavior (see the IP talk page history [1] as they deleted the block message from the IP talk page). You may wish to report them if it continues and suggest blocks to their primary IP sockpuppets of abuse, 129.133.124.199 and 159.247.3.210 ; see also the talk pages of the articles mentioned above. I already went a round with this person at Middletown, Connecticut, so I'll be staying out of this one. Whew. --Pgagnon999 (talk) 16:16, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blue Gold, this is Purdue and we have made our final statements for our case. We just wanted to be recognized under our proper name of Indiana Alpha, our proper founding date of 1882, and our connection to Purdue's own society Skull and Crescent. We don't care where we are recognized as such within the article- and we fully support your interests in adding as much verifiable and cited points as possible. We also appreciate your efforts to make the article more objective and not simply in the interst of the current Alpha group. We believe the TNE section today is a relevant section since there clearly are many issues surround chapters (either alive, sub rosa, or defunct) that are still relevant issues to the nature of TNE as a historical entity. Best Wishes, Purdue

TNE PAGE We are curious? Why was TNE's page altered to even remove your citations when there was no concensus by anyone from our side to do so? What is the block for if Wes Alpha will just revert. Look at their IP' talk pages- they have been running a muck with other Wesleyan related articles- that group is very controlling and problematic across the board. Best wishes, from Purdue people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.141.157.129 (talk) 03:11, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. I would like to know the answer myself. That sort of behavior is ridiculous, especially from someone with administrative responsibilities. Keep fighting the good fight to get some balance in this article instead of Alpha's one-sided slant. BlueGold73 (talk) 03:20, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:BannisterComplex.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BannisterComplex.jpg. 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.

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 Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia: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.

Hello BlueGold73. I see that you have a vast interest in Title IX issues. I too have an interest in them.

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Alpha Kappa Psi, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. I know you've been here for a while, but, given your username and the nature of your edits, I feel this is necessary. 13² 06:58, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware of the policy, and my actions are not in conflict with the policy. My username is also not a reference to this organization. BlueGold73 (talk) 00:31, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All right. Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't completely sure, but just in case, I wanted to let you know. --13² 01:08, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm back again. I know you've done quite a bit of positive work on the Alpha Kappa Psi article, but adding in copyrighted information, almost verbatim, is not acceptable. Please re-write the information in your own words. Thank you. --13² 14:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, I removed the word-for-word information, but left the rest. That said, I'm leaning toward removing the information you also added directly under the "history" section as it heavily echoes the official site as well. For now, I'll leave it since there is variation here and there, but I would really encourage you to go back through and edit it to make it wholly your own. --13² 15:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I actually wasn't using the website to write any of that. Nearly all of the information relating to the early history is from sources that are in the public domain. In fact much of the early history portions on the official website were lifted verbatim from material that was published prior to 1923. As such, copyright does not apply to large portions of that information. That said, I am making an effort to state the information in my own words, as well as bring in additional outside sources. I appreciate your input, and I just wanted to make you aware of the fact that a very significant portion of the material on the official website has been lifted from documents that are now in the public domain...much of which is accumulated in the 1917 handbook that I cited.

Replaceable fair use File:MainstreetTheaterPromo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:MainstreetTheaterPromo.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sawblade5 ⁽^{talk to me} ^| ^{my wiki life}⁾ 22:19, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Bradley M. Scott

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Bradley M. Scott requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Toddst1 (talk) 05:36, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong with the public domain status? It was published no later than 1946. This is known because of the postmark date on the postcard.

Hi BlueGold73! Thank you expressing interest in the National Archives Meetup and Scanathon in Kansas City. I just want to remind you that this is taking place this Saturday, two days from now, starting at 9 a.m. We hope to see you there! Please let me know if you have any questions. Dominic·t 13:59, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I also just want to note that a scanner is not required, though useful. If you have a scanner with you (or if someone else brings one and you can share), it just means you'll get to spend your time scanning the historical documents. As long as you have a computer, though, you can edit articles related to the theme of the event. The idea here is just to have a fun time while sharing knowledge. :-) Judging from the e-mailed RSVPs, there may be several other people coming who have little to no Wikipedia experience at all, so you might get a chance to do some teaching, too.

Lindenwood Lions

Hi BlueGold73,
First, I don't want an edit war and generally agree with the organizational improvements done to Lindenwood Lions. On the subject of club vs. student life: LU doesn't fit the typical club sport model, since they are univ.-supported varsity sports competing in non-NCAA orgs i.e. http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Synchronized-Swimming/Collegiate/Programs-Teams, along with numerous other sources, some refed in the article. Although "club sports" is a generic term, Lindenwood, as well as a growing number of other universities using similar models, tend to use "student life sports". Since Wikipedia is for learning, I'd rather use a name that reflects the distinct univ.-supported model rather than "club sports" which generally reflects the traditional model where the teams are student-run organizations and the students pay-to-play. Bhockey10 (talk) 14:46, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious about your reference mentioning a "growing number of other universities using similar models, tend to use "student life sports"". I've been searching for them, and I'm not having much luck finding more than a couple other examples. I've also worked in higher education and athletics at several universities, and the "student life sports" terminology is not commonly used or understood in the industry. If there really are a substantial number of institutions using a "student life sports" model and terminology, then I would understand using the terminology and linking to an article that explains the concept; however, at this point I still strongly believe that "club sports" is the correct terminology for the article. I haven't found enough information regarding other universities using similar models to make me comfortable believing that the "student life sports" terminology isn't just marketing speak used at Lindenwood to refer to their club sports programs that don't compete at the NCAA level and are not subject to NCAA policies and regulations.

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

MIAA enrollments

I have a question for you... why would you change the enrollment numbers from what the University released and/or the Kansas Board of Regents (for the KS schools) to what the Higher Learning Commission says? They were backed with reliable sources, as well. I had updated all of the MIAA articles to match what the universities released in Fall 2014, I even updated KU and K-State. I see no reason as to why you needed to do that. An explanation would be nice, since how you didn't seem to use the edit summary to explain your edits. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 01:48, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the early fall 2014 enrollment numbers are not final. The final enrollment totals are reported to the state and the accrediting bodies beginning around late October. The Higher Learning Commission numbers are from November, so in most cases those are the final updated enrollment totals. BlueGold73 (talk) 04:23, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but that is just one source that provides that information. If those numbers are final, then there should be more than just one source to prove that those numbers are correct. Otherwise, it should be the most common number listed by various reliable sources. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 05:54, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your work on Savoy Grill. Unfortunately, disambiguation pages do not follow the same stylistic rules as normal pages. Please see the disambiguation style guide for more information.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John Matuszak, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Down the Drain. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Lutheran High School of Kansas City

I noticed this article when reviewing new pages, and I am concerned that it does not appear to meet the Notability requirements at WP:ORG. The references provide do not appear to include any independent ones that discuss the topic in anything more than a passing mention. Are you planning to add additional material to support its notability and prevent it from being deleted? --Gronk Oz (talk) 10:08, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I followed the link your referenced, and it states "Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools are usually kept except when zero independent sources can be found to prove that the institution actually exists." Based on that statement, a passing mention in an independent source would justify the article because it is more than zero, and it proves the institution actually exists. I do plan to add more information and sources as time allows, but I needed to point out the flaw in your statement. BlueGold73 (talk) 02:37, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, BlueGold73. The line you quote is not from WP:ORG, which is the notability criteria for organizations; it is from WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, which is a summary of what has commonly happened when such articles have been proposed for deletion - it is not a policy or guideline. Even so, I cannot see any indication that this high school awards degrees, which means it is doubtful it would be treated the same way. So some independent references to show it meets the notability criteria would really help. Or just leave it and take your chances if it gets nominated for deletion - it's your choice, I just wanted to bring the issue to your attention.--Gronk Oz (talk) 06:20, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Corbin Park

The article Corbin Park has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unremarkable retail development. Unlikely to meet WP:Notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
