Red River Shootout[edit]

I revereted your change to Red River Shootout because "The" is not part of the name of the University of Oklahoma. Therefore, it is not capitalized. Johntex\^talk 17:07, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also reverted your changing "Texas-OU" to "OU-Texas". If you look at the source cited, which is the Dallas Morning News, you will see that they list Texas first. Partisan swapping of the name order will get us no where. This not a fan site where we bicker over what team is best or what name is best. We go with what the source says and we work together to improve the articles. I look forward to your future contributions. Best, Johntex\^talk 17:12, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, the fact that the game goes by other names is already explained in the article. If you want to find something useful from an Oklahoma paper where they call the game OU-Texas, you are free to add to the article. However, you should not delete existing material without reaching consensus on the talk page. And we never change things that are directly supported by a source. Doing that makes the source worthless at confirming what we put in the article. It is not up to us to change what the source siad. Johntex\^talk 18:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, please WP:Sign your posts on talk pages, it makes it a lot easier to reply to you.

Secondly, there is no reason to add an exclamation point to your reply.

Thirdly, your reply proves the point. The article is titled Red River Shootout yet also uses other terms in the article, such as "Red River Rivalry", "Texas-OU", "OU-Texas".

Most importantly, when citing a source, we go with what that source says. Why don't you try to find something new and important to add to the article instead of trying to promote OU by (a) captitalizing "The" in front of University of Oklahoma and (b) changing wording to a form that is not supported by the source?

Revision of Chris Lauzen Page[edit]

I am reverting your "changes" to Senator Lauzen's page. Your comments about having the site be neutral are well-taken. However, you deleted sourced, accurate material from news publications. I am not aware of any rule prohibiting sourced material that is indisputably accurate whether it is from Lauzen's official websites or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kvanko (talk • contribs) 04:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: AIV[edit]

Hi! I removed your report to AIV because the issue here is a edit war over disputed content; AIV is more for plain, pure vandalism. I've talked to the user in question, but if it continues feel free to take the matter to the three-revert rule noticeboard, which deals specifically in content disputes. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 04:49, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, keep up the good work! Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 04:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kvanko and Chris Lauzen[edit]

I've filed a 3RR report here. I figured I should tell you as you're an involved party. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 05:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:DanProft_headshot_square.jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:DanProft_headshot_square.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 00:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
