TSU Campus image

Because one can freely take photographs of the TSU campus, you cannot use copyrighted images of the campus; I have a free image of the TSU campus. If you and Houston and want to take your own pictures, that is perfectly fine. If you are not in proximity to TSU, you can make a photo request for me or others to take photos at TSU too. Lastly, if you want to, please join Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Houston - Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 20:35, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

When are you gonna clean up the TSU page?

• What information do you consider to be irrelevant?
• If you are referring to the Slade stuff, I must add that Misplaced Pages articles should be based mostly on secondary sources. A lot of sources reported in detail about the Slade scandal, so the article cannot ignore that particular aspect.
• In regards to other matters (i.e. alumni listed that did not go to TSU, etc) that aren't controversial, please note the page Misplaced Pages:Be bold - you are welcome to make changes that you feel are necessary. If someone opposes your edit, he or she will let you know, or you can contact him or her on his or her talk page or on the article talk page.
• Thanks,

Disambiguation link notification for October 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Texas Southern University, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page SWAC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Answer to your question about alumni dates

Hi, I did not add the alumni section, and I don't know who did or who is maintaining it, so I'm afraid I'm not the one who researched the alumni dates. Sorry I can't be of more help. Best of luck to you, --Paulsuckow (talk) 00:11, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dallas Black Pride

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 Dallas Black Pride requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), 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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. ⛵ Admiral Caius ⛵ 21:23, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Texas Southern University Seal PROBLEM

I was trying to update the seal to a better version but it didn't show up now the link is totally gone. I accidentally clicked save instead of show preview to see if it worked. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have the better seal on my C drive. A silver and maroon one I found via Bing's image search on Texas Southern University. It was one of the first dozen images.

All this is under Texas Southern University.

Help me!

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Help me with fixing the seal for the Texas Southern University wiki page. The previous seal was lackluster and didn't have the school colors. And I was simply trying to upgrade it to a better one and now it's missing totally and I need assitance in adding the new gray and maroon seal

Broadmoor (talk) 18:22, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

I have restored the previous version. More in a minute or two.

You can always go back to a previous version of an article. Click the "View history" tab, then click on the time/date link for the revision you want to restore, click "Edit source" at the top, ignore the warning "You are editing an old revision of this page", and click "Save page". It is best to use an edit summary like "Reverting to version by Soandso at 17:15, 15 February".

Any image you find on the internet is almost certainly copyright to someone, so you need to worry about that, see WP:Copy-paste. This might well come under the exception for logos - read WP:LOGO for what you would need to do in order to use it.

Another tip: if you refer on a talk page to an article or another page, write its name between double square brackets, like ], which gives a link Texas Southern University. That makes it easier for readers to find it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:48, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pride: Houston

You are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride 2014, a campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related content on Misplaced Pages throughout the month of June. On June 21, there will be a multi-national edit-a-thon, if you wish to participate. Here is the project page for Houston: Misplaced Pages:Meetup/Houston/Wiki Loves Pride 2014. Ways to help? Create or improve LGBT-related articles, host an edit-a-thon at a local coffeeshop, library or other location, or photograph LGBT culture and history in the Houston area. Visit the project page for more information, and if you are interested in contributing, just add your name to the list of supporters or add the results of your work. Thanks for your consideration! --Another Believer _(Talk) 20:48, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

LGBT culture in Dallas–Fort Worth

Thank you for improving the LGBT culture in Dallas–Fort Worth article. I appreciate the efforts you made adding the choir!

I also appreciate finding the new figures. One thing I did was remove your citing of another Misplaced Pages article and cited the actual source. References may disappear from another Misplaced Pages article and it may be difficult for other people to verify the information. Citing the actual source and indicating the proper page number will help people verify the info.

Also even if you find one set of figures, please don't remove the other set. There may be different estimates, and therefore it may be good to refer to all of them.

Happy editing! I'll see you soon! WhisperToMe (talk) 18:56, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

You're welcome. Yes, it's fine if the lead paragraph can be simplified! The detailed statistics can be moved to a sub-section within the article. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:26, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Alcorn State University

Hi! I noticed the removal of this content. I think it's important to leave this fact in the article (that Alcorn isn't very prominent outside of Mississippi). If you remove sourced content please state why the removal is happening in the edit summary.

Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 02:59, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. Even though the source is still over 20 years old, the history of the school's reputation is still important, and to my knowledge there is no new written information that contradicts what was said back in the 1990s. The reputation and notoriety of a university is very important and it should be reflected in its article. If there are any published sources saying that the school has become more famous, I would like to hear about them. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:40, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Florida A&M University. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. --IJBall (talk) 07:13, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Don't delete others' comments on Talk pages

Please don't delete others' comments on Talk pages. It's perceived as hostile and rude and there is widespread agreement that it should only be done under very limited circumstances. ElKevbo (talk) 02:37, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

What comments did I delete? Broadmoor (talk) 02:59, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

These. ElKevbo (talk) 03:06, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

I don't recall pressing delete.Broadmoor (talk) 03:15, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if you remember doing it or how you did it. You did and you should be more careful in the future. ElKevbo (talk) 03:23, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

It does matter, you are already harassing me and I'm not trying to give you any more reason too. I really don't remember deleting it and still not convinced I did so right now.Broadmoor (talk) 03:36, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Deleting cited material

You have deleted cited material from the article Florida A&M University without any reason given in the edit summary. The hazing incident might be summarized more tightly but was a landmark in realizing that students were still subject to hazing at the university level and has helped put a stop to it. It was national news for months.

The graduation level is already short enough. It is very key information about the university or its admission policy but draws no conclusions as to either. It should remain.

Rm material without reason seems hostile to Misplaced Pages's policy of WP:NOTCENSORED. Student7 (talk) 19:29, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

I did give valid reason to the person who placed it there. Broadmoor (talk) 03:22, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Texas Southern University

Hi there. As you will have seen, the user with whom you have been involved in a dispute regarding this page has filed at the edit warring noticeboard. I've tried to defend you there because I don't think it helps anyone just to stop to allow you editing, especially since you describe yourself and appear to be someone of integrity. However, please be aware that you really need to start engaging in serious discussion at the page Talk:Texas Southern University about these controversial removals of information. Regardless of whether you're right or wrong, Misplaced Pages's very core is about collaborative editing, so you need to try to reach a consensus through reasoned discussion. Saying things like "I will always delete it" seems to suggest that you are not open to doing so. I'm sure this was just something in the spur of the moment, but you need to be very careful now as you were already blocked previously for edit warring, which is in effect the opposite of discussion. Thanks for thinking carefully at any rate about this message, and feel free to leave me a message if you want any further input. --Jay _{Σεβαστός} 12:32, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

• Rather than starting (or continuing) another edit war regarding the NCAA sanctions, what do you think would be a good compromise? NCAA sanctions are a significant event that needs to be noted; whether or not it isn't cited in on other school's articles are irrelevant- maybe you can help identify and correct these shortcoming on other pages. Perhaps a separate article about the sanctions can be written and linked to within this article? Frankly,this article, like many others about other schools, reads more like a press release from the college's PR office and less like an neutral, objective summary of the facts. Since no one believes any institution is perfect, these articles actually make the institution seem sketchy and unwilling to be honest. I believe mentioning the "warts" of the institution lends more gravitas to the article as it demonstrates that it more fair representation of what the school is actually like. Wkharrisjr (talk) 14:01, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
  • No not all NCAA sanctions need to be noted Wkharrisjr because if you're familiar with college athletics you would know that they are quite common and are not a noteworthy event. The only time NCAA sanctions are noteworthy is if the "Death Penalty" is rendered which means an elimination or prolonged suspension of a program (think SMU football in the late 80s). Outside of that, noting NCAA sanctions are petty and not responsible editing. But despite that I left the sanctions on TSU football wiki page since it's only dealing with them and there's still one more year left of the sanction. So IT'S THERE AND IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE NOTED TWICE and I'm writing in all caps b/c I've stated that fact several times. What's fair is to leave it like it is and work on other pages that are seriously lacking in content and correctness that deserves your attention.Broadmoor (talk) 23:38, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Your comment on another user page...

Can you show me where the administrators agreed with you and blocked the other person who kept adding the NCAA sanctions? From what I remember, you were the one blocked for edit-warring, not ElKevbo, who was the only you were edit-earring with. This shows that the admin, Swarm, didn't take a side and said that you two need to talk it out more. I was just getting ready to comment on the user's page when I saw your comment. Corky | Chat? 00:42, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm convinced you're ElKevbo just a different user name ... why of all content to add are you adding the NCAA Sanctions from 3 years ago just like he was. And I wasn't blocked for the NCAA Sanctions which is the topic at hand. The administrators locked the account to prevent ElKevbo from adding unnecessary and biased content and for also being a hostile editor which I provided.Broadmoor (talk) 00:53, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

My point is that you were blocked for edit-warring with that user; I didn't say what you were blocked for, I just said you were blocked for edit warring. The page was protected, not only to prevent ElKevbo from adding it, but to prevent you from removing it as well. Once again, SHOW me where I've added the NCAA sanctions content. The ONLY edit I have made to the article was THIS, which does NOT even deal with the sanctions. I could really care less whether or not the content is on there, but you need to talk to him about it instead of edit-warring. It is getting old when you and another user are acting childish. Corky | Chat? 01:17, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Texas Southern University and Athletic Rivalries

Athletic rivalries, unless nationally noted such as Harvard-Yale, are usually considered non-notable and thus trivial. A good rule of thumb is that the rivalry is worthy of a separate wikipedia article, it is notable. Another good practice is to properly document the fact that these are noted rivalries via national media coverage of the games with specific mention as to how notable the match up is.

Copyright violations

Hello. I am Diannaa and I am an administrator on this wiki. I have looked at the material presented at an administrators noticeboard: Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Persistent copyright violations. Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the law to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. There's more information about copyrights and how it applies to Misplaced Pages at Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Copyright. Copyright law and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policies. Further copyright violations will result in you being blocked from editing. -- Diannaa (talk) 17:27, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.

When editing Misplaced Pages, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I'm not sure how hard it is to summarize what you've edited, but apparently it is pretty difficult for you. If you don't want to use it, that's fine, just be prepared when you remove a large amount of content, it will be reverted for an unexplained reason. This isn't your first time hearing about this, either.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list and
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Corkythehornetfan 17:24, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

I normally do, but I've had the discussion with ElKevbo before about his biased editing on the matter so I didn't leave anything. Any opportunity he has to challenge me even though evidence proves he's in the wrong, he will. Thanks for the reminder.Broadmoor (talk) 17:38, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Normally do? I would beg to differ... Your contributions shows you used it earlier today (twice!), but then that last time you used one was on this edit:

I wasn't really talking about your interactions with ElKevbo, it was really just a reminder because I've seen your name in my watchlist a lot w/out a summary. Just remember, not only does it help other users, but it helps you as well. Corkythehornetfan 18:01, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Right, I will be more mindful of that. If I feel I can easily prove it's grossly wrong or out of place I tend to be less inclined to leave a note initially but I will anyway moving forward.Broadmoor (talk) 18:20, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for all your contributions, such as to Hampton University. I don't want to repeat the above automated note, but I would like to join with others and request that you explain your edits using the edit summary field. It helps us other editors understand the why and what of your change without having to completely examine each change. In my experience, it tends to make my edits have less "friction" with others.

Zeta Phi Beta

Where's the source for the USF incident? —C.Fred (talk) 01:37, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

I left it after the sentence again, it was in the original citation but you had to wait for it ... do a ctrl+f to find the incident. There's many stories about that incident and Zeta Phi Beta is one entity so if one soror doesn't something wrong, it's a reflection of the whole organization which is why there's a intensive screening process for membership.

African Americans

Hi. Your edit summary is wrong. I just looked at two such articles -- Japanese Americans and American Jews -- and neither has an "increase" or "decrease" indicator next to the population.

As I wrote in my edit summary, please read the instructions at Template:Increase. The population of African Americans is not comparable to "ranking in a list or company profit". — MShabazz /_Stalk 18:06, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Either remove all increase symbols or don't remove the one from African Americans. ::::

I just corrected your error at African Americans again. Please start a discussion at Talk:African Americans if you have any rational justification for your edit. Thank you. — MShabazz /_Stalk 21:47, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

What does it mean that it's not "comparable" to ranking in a list or company profit? Those are examples. The template documentation says "These templates show icons to indicate increase or decrease, such as ranking in a list or company profit." which means the basic idea is that it can be used to mark increase or decrease, then it gives two examples, but it could give more. If you have a real problem with the presence of this additional information on African Americans, I suggest you state it on Talk:African Americans (which seems like a better place than here), but nitpicking on the template's documentation doesn't show a real problem, and certainly not an "error". LjL (talk) 21:56, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Let's take it to Talk:African Americans

Your recent editing history at African Americans shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
I sent the other editor a warning but you are not exempted from discussing it in the proper place either. I see nothing in the template's documentation against using it, but it won't hurt to make a good argument about why it's beneficial to use it in the first place (is it supported by sources?), and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS justifies neither adding it nor removing it. LjL (talk) 22:10, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

I've already tried reasoning, I said if the indicator is wrong why do other pages have it but I got no response outside of I'm wrong despite having proof that most similiar pages have the indicatorsBroadmoor (talk) 22:17, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

That is not a sound line of reasoning: just because other possibly wrong stuff exists on Misplaced Pages doesn't mean it should be copied elsewhere. Both of you should make good arguments about why this should be included or not, which should not be based on what other similar pages do, unless you can show that what they do, they do for good, sound, policy-based reasons. LjL (talk) 22:22, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

LjL that was not my complete argument. I said if it's wrong on the African American page, why is there no imitative to take it off the 3 other ethnic group pages mentioned that have the very same thing. And to that I got no valid response outside of because I said so. I'm fine removing the indicator but it also should be removed from the ethnic group pages which they didn't seem to agree with. What sense does that make?Broadmoor (talk) 16:10, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

It makes perfect sense to first ensure the original dispute is solved on the page where it originally took place, before enforcing the same outcome on other pages; not doing so could be seen as WP:POINTY editing and is really not recommended. Thus, "why aren't they doing the same on other pages too?" is far from a good argument to make, and falls under WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS like I've kept telling you. LjL (talk) 16:15, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Well I see what the administrators have to say. I don't think it's that simple.Broadmoor (talk) 16:27, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. The thread is Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Broadmoor reported by User:Thomas.W (Result: ). Thank you. Thomas.W 14:37, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Thomas.W we're already discussing this on the African American talk page ... go see for yourself.Broadmoor (talk) 14:44, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

And? Whether or not you're discussing it, you've gratuitously violated the WP:3RR rule, and now you've been reported, and informed about the report as is required. Good luck with not being blocked; even though I was in support of your change, your way of defending it has been utterly inappropriate (I see you've even told Thomas.W in the edit summary to a further revert that other articles create precedent, in complete defiance of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXITS which I've by now pointed you at several times), and if you get blocked, you had it coming; sorry. LjL (talk) 16:00, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

I did nothing wrong in my egregiously wrong in my opinion, I did what I knew was best to stand for integrity and consistency in editing. I didn't call anyone out there name and create a hostile environment like the other users. Had I known how to report a block I would've done that but I don't remember how to do thatBroadmoor (talk) 16:07, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

You broke WP:3RR, which is a bright-line rule, after being clearly warned about it, so by definition, you did something egregiously wrong. The wrongness of what others did is more arguable, but what you did is grounds for an immediate block, depending on the closing admin's best judgment. LjL (talk) 16:16, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Right but I should have not got the warning in the first place, that's the problem. But like I said the closing administrator will have the final say, I'm making my argument the best as I can.Broadmoor (talk) 16:29, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

What? That makes no sense. You were about to break WP:3RR, so of course you should have got the warning. That's what warnings are for. People aren't meant to get a get-out-of-jail-free card for edit warring past 3RR just out of not being warned for it. That's pure nonsense; and as you can see, you've now been blocked, so you weren't doing a very good job of arguing (especially not by accusing established editors of sockpuppeting, that was really hideous). Well, now at least you'll have a fair bit of off-Wiki time to read up on Misplaced Pages policies. LjL (talk) 16:32, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

And I just love how Bishonen blocked me for edit warring and false accusations (which I'm entitled into my opinion) without even acknowledging how MShabazz called me a "dick" and other names more than once ... is that not worthy of some type of block or repercussions? Misplaced Pages is lacking in fair administrators. You should speak up on it LjL as well and have this investigated.

I've already spoken up on it - repeatedly, once on Talk:African Americans and once on your edit warring report - but honestly, after your shenanigans on the report, I don't expect any sanctions to be handed out to anyone but you. If you're new, try to learn, not to yell left and right and make absurd accusations that you can't prove like that two well-established editors are the same user. Being "entitled to your opinion" doesn't mean you are entitled to make such personal accusations against other editors; to most Wikipedians, that sort of thing is worse than using words like "dick". LjL (talk) 16:40, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

LjL oh yeah my personal opinion that someone is using multiple accounts is WAY worse than being called the derogatory term "dick" multiple times. And a opinion doesn't have to be proved, just like no one was able to prove that a growth indicator didn't belong without a shadow of a doubt and it was fine. And furthermore, if MShabazz was entitled to call me names without repercussions, I'm entitled to my opinion on him. This isn't a fair process or one that makes sense no matter how you try to rationalize it. This site is controlled by a bunch of psycho cyber bullies and biased editors.Broadmoor (talk) 14:10, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Walk away then. LjL (talk) 21:31, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Virginia edit

I restored your edit adding Hampton University, replacing the revert claiming its addition was "not an improvement" to the article. While at William and Mary, I enjoyed taking advantage of some of the mid 1800s Virginia Census data then available at Hampton Institute's library which I could not get my hands on at W&M...Your proposed edit including Hampton University may take some additional attention, I regret to say.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ElKevbo (talk) 10:26, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm General Ization. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Texas Southern University, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Texas Southern University. This contravenes Misplaced Pages's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. General Ization 01:34, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Local vs. National coverage. (Pi Kappa Alpha)

This is something that I have been meaning to talk to you about (and I would really appreciate your comments at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Fraternities_and_Sororities#Controversies to restart it)

You added two controversies on Pi Kappa Alpha. The 2017 Cal State Chico National Forest situation definitely has National Coverage and thus qualifies for inclusion Pi Kappa Alpha. OTOH, the one added in 2010, has a ref which is local coverage in the school newspaper, and IMO doesn't belong on the page. I'd appreciate if we could use this to explain what sort of coverage is needed in this regard.Naraht (talk) 13:17, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

"If you can't prove otherwise, don't delete"

This revert isn't how things work on Misplaced Pages. First, you don't WP:OWN the article. Second, unsourced material can be deleted on sight. The burden of proof is one the editor who wants to keep material in an article. I'll give some time before I look at this again but strongly recommend that you reconsider the revert, or find some sourcing. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:11, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Since when did every school document every tradition.Broadmoor (talk) 22:44, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Moved from Bri's talkpage Since when every university documents all of its rich traditions. Nothing listed as a tradition on the page in question is outlandish or questionable. I can personally vouch for what's listed.Broadmoor (talk) 22:46, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

I can see above that people have had an attempt to educate you on what a reliable source is and why they are so important to Misplaced Pages. Maybe it is futile but I will try again. Your recollection or whatever, if it had been published, would be a primary source and the least-desirable kind of sourcing, not admissible in most cases. Since it hasn't even been documented (and, by the way, we don't know who you are), it is completely inadmissible. Surely you must realize this? Sometimes, facts, though they may be facts, must be left unsaid here, this is summed up in WP:NOTTRUTH which is worth a read, if that stings. It elaborates Misplaced Pages:Verifiability which is a policy -- that means it's not my opinion, it's just how things are. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:17, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

I can see also you have an insidious agenda. Why would delete the picture of the architecture picture on the page? You're making all kinds of biased and ridiculous edits and not adding anything of substance Broadmoor (talk) 01:10, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

February 2018

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Historically black colleges and universities. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. When multiple editors give multiple reasons to dispute an edit you make, re-doing that same edit without comment is not going to get you anywhere. DMacks (talk) 17:24, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Texas Southern University edits

Please stop adding the athletics logo in the Texas Southern University article. Per WP:NFCC#8 and WP:NFC#UUI§17, we cannot include it the article. The only article it is allowed in is Texas Southern Tigers. Why? Because it is a non-free logo and copyrighted, only allowing us to use it in one article. File:Houston Cougars logo.svg, fails originality, making it in the Public Domain. Public Domain images are allowed in any article because they are not copyrighted. I hope this helps you and maybe will make you quit edit warring. Corky 00:33, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

User talk:Corkythehornetfan I'm not convinced I'm violating any rules. There are many university pages that have images not in the public domain on their main page and no one is complaining. And it's befitting for the image to be on the main page, I don't see the big deal. If it can be on the athletics page, it should be OK the main page as well.
