Re: Oklahoma Sooners football FA

Thanks for the comment. Many of the reviewers (although there weren't that many compared to a typical FAC) felt the article was POV. While I don't necessarily agree, I still have the task of trying to resolve this issue. Some other comments were very helpful including the reduction in size of the awards section and the addition of more sections on the stadium and traditions. Those additions are on my to-do list. I haven't read of of the soccer articles but it is a good idea so I may look over some of those. In the discussion, I mentioned that the New England Patriots article was the best comparison to my article but even they conceded that they saw some of the same deficiencies in that article that they saw in mine. Nevertheless, I'm working on this article and the University of Oklahoma article and will continue to try to get them both up to FA-status. Thanks for the look and the advice. Good luck with the TCU articles.--NMajdan•talk 20:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Striking your vote

Hello General125,

Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.

The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.

The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.

Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.

In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.

We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.

Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at m:Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.

Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Kizu Naoko

Orphaned non-free image (Image:TCUAthleticLogo268.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:TCUAthleticLogo268.gif. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. fuzzy510 03:05, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have tagged Image:SolidTCU268.jpg as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

TCU at Texas

Hello, thanks for the compliments on the UT articles! I do what I can. Unfortunately I won't be at the game today - can you take any pictures? I'll be watching on TV though, for sure - it should be a hell of a game. I will update both the Texas and the TCU articles if someone else doesn't beat me to it. Long live the Southwest Conference!!

AFB Pictures

I'd like to use them, but I can't under Wikipedia's licensing rules. You can only use a Flickr picture if it is attribution or attribution-share alike.User:calbear22 (talk) 16:36, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for changing the licensing. I put pictures up on the 2007 California Golden Bears football team‎ and on the 2007 Armed Forces Bowl pages, along with a link to the pictures on the AFB page. Thank you. User:calbear22 (talk) 03:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

College Football Project request

Hello! You are listed as an active member of the College Football Project!

I've divided up the articles that need help and put them in a table on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Unreferenced BLPs. Please assist the project by researching and sourcing the articles that have been "assigned" (so to speak) to you.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:52, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
