Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article, specifically File:NorthwesternStateDemons.png, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Werieth (talk) 19:37, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Are you going to discuss this or do I need to take this to ANI and request that you be blocked for repeated violations of the non-free content policy ? Werieth (talk) 01:37, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

What is the problem here? The text-only wordmarks don't need a rationale, do they? Ejgreen77 (talk) 02:40, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

The files you are adding are non-free and cannot be used in the manner you are using them. Werieth (talk) 02:48, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Which ones? Are you talking about just the rivalry articles? Obviously, File:MSU Eagles Logo.svg belongs on the Morehead State Eagles page, ect. I'm a bit confused here. Ejgreen77 (talk) 03:01, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Anywhere where I removed them for failing WP:NFCC#8, rivalry articles, year articles, cups and others. Werieth (talk) 03:04, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

What about the main athletic team pages? It seems fairly standard, see File:Florida Gators logo.svg on Florida Gators football, File:MizzouPrimaryAthleticMark.png on Missouri Tigers men's basketball, ect. Ejgreen77 (talk) 03:12, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

As long as it is the main article and there is a rationale it should be fine. Werieth (talk) 04:01, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

What about using the text-only wordmarks for the rivalry & season articles (File:UL Lafayette Wordmark.jpg, File:Maine blackbears textlogo.png, ect.)? It seems pretty standard, see Alabama–Penn State football rivalry, Third Saturday in October, 2012 Florida Gators football team, ect. These images all say on them that "This image or logo only consists of typefaces, individual words, slogans, or simple geometric shapes. These are not eligible for copyright alone because they are not original enough, and thus the logo is considered to be in the public domain." Do these wordmarks need a rationale, too? Ejgreen77 (talk) 04:51, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Those wordmarks fail threshold of originality and are below the point that can be copyrighted. However the files you where adding are well above that mark and are non-free and subject to different rules. Werieth (talk) 05:03, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

So, I can go ahead and use the primary logos on the main team pages, and the wordmarks on the rivalry and season articles, right? Gawd, this is confusing. Ejgreen77 (talk) 05:13, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Depends on the wordmark. The main restriction is not to use non-free files. If you take a look at the image discription page, you will see two categories at the bottom, it will have "All free media" or "All non-free media". If a file is in the second category its use must be limited. Werieth (talk) 05:26, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

St. Norbert and Buffalo State CFB season articles

EJ, I urge you to propose some form of consolidated list for these articles that have pending AfDs during the AfD discussions. If you propose a merge that tracks any of the usual CFB season list alternatives per WP:CFBSEASON, I will support the merge. Otherwise, I fear these articles will be deleted as non-notable single seasons and your work will be lost. Regards, Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:21, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

EJ, the last of these articles was deleted today at AfD. You can still request that any of the closing admins userfy the content so you can create a list of seasons article. If you choose to do so, I would be happy to help you rework the content to the list of seasons format. Let me know. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:35, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to McNeese State Cowboys baseball may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
