You removed the {{Verylong}} tag from University of Texas at Austin. That is fine as I added the tag only as a heads-up. However, you summararized, "Removed "very long" tag. Article is comparable in length to, and in many cases shorter than, other articles on major universities, public and private." The addition and removal of such tags is not based on what is being done in other articles. It is based on Wikipedia policy (see Wikipedia:Article size). If the article becomes greater than 60KB, I will again tag it and the tag should not be removed until the problem is addressed. For the time being, I added the tag to the article's talk page just so people can keep it in mind when editing. Thanks for your work on Wikipedia! -- Wordbuilder 13:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Looks like the Rose Bowl Game page is finally protected, hopefully that "person" won't be attacking ASU's page for revenge. Thanks for helping me (or, letting me help YOU) keep the ASU and Rose bowl pages clean! Alexdragon 04:14, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
University of Texas Alltime team, was as noted, the Austin American Statesman, 2005. The date of the article was Septermbr 9. The team was chosen by a panel of experts, headed up by the sports editors of the paper.
Hello, I noticed that you have edited a College baseball related article. You may be interested to know that there is a college baseball WikiProject which you can join if you like. We would love to have you!
Hi, thanks for changing the Aggie maroon color to the correct maroon shade. I knew the maroon shade was " Pantone 505," and after trying to find the hex code equivalent to that, I came upon both #600000 and #6C1420. About half of the websites I looked up said Pantone 505 is the equivalent of the former hex code, while the other half said it is equivalent the latter. So I ended up choosing the darker shade, #600000, since it more closely resembled the one used on the Athletics website. After you reverted the change on the Athletics page, I went back to the Trademark website, and came upon this PDF document. The color used there more closely resembles #6C1420, i.e., the one you added. Anyhow, sorry about reverting your edit! BlueAg09 ( Talk) 03:29, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
I see that you reverted my correction of your edit. Your edit summary "Reverted: No, that part is not sourced. Look at the citation provided; it's from 1989. The part of the sentence needing a citation refers to an incident that occurred in 1992. It needs a citation." shows that you don't understand the issue. The article clearly states that the UT reactor went critical on that date. Going critical is not an incident in the sense that something went wrong. Going critical is a term that refers to the reactor being started. It stems from the fact that nuclear reactors depend on chain reactions. As the article clearly makes this statement, I am removing your fact tag. TheMindsEye 19:48, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Please discuss any further changes that you wish to make on the above template at WP:UW. There are 140 user warning templates which have all been harmonised, and making changes to only one template goes against the goals of this project. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to get in touch. Khu kri 06:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello João, I hope you are doing well. I am hoping to submit 2005 Texas Longhorn football team soon for Featured Article consideration. My one prior success has given me some idea of what might still be needed. The article has already had a peer review and has made it to GA status. I am re-reading it and proof-reading it from top to bottom this week.
Since you have recently posted on its talk page, I am letting you know in case you have any other suggestions. Best, Johntex\ talk 21:27, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Public school and MD. 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.

Thanks for uploading File:Johnny Moore (UTexas basketball).jpg. 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 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 19:13, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
Do you have an exact quote from a reference that says the Big Eight did not exist at the time the four SWC schools joined it? The reference that you gave and the other reference that I found very clearly say that those four schools joined the Big Eight not the Big 12. Jay Jor ( talk) 21:24, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Bob Weltlich at UTexas.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{
Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:50, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
The career stats page was created for those intricate charts. That is why we have them. You mentioned some players where editors have added those charts, but they are in the minority. I could list you hundreds of pages without them. origianlly all that was supposed to remian on the main article page was a condensed performance timeline on the Grand Slam Tournaments. That's it. A few articles added the entire Grand Slam chart... but most do not have even that. Adding the year-end event is bloated stats on the main page and it should really remain on the stats page. If the full Grand Slam is even added it should be like our best Wikipedia Featured article in Milos Raonic. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 23:38, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi there,
I noticed that you had removed reference to George Rockwell being assassinated on his entry, changing it to simply murder. I kind of thought the same reasoning as you had that his killing didn't fit the definition of assassination, but apparently his killing was reported by the media as an assassination, so my change was reverted back from murder to assassination. I'm not sure of what the proper way to characterize his killing as, but I didn't mean to change it as an example of soap-boxing. But in any case, the terms I think should be consistent across the three different entries, but I'm reluctant to make any changes myself (I'm brand new to Wikipedia and don't know the rules). Would you mind taking a look at the three pages and updating as needed so they use the same terminology as right now they seem to be in contradiction.
Thank you, and best regards, TheBlueTortoise ( talk) 07:50, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Texas Longhorns softball, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Perfect game. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Good point at Tsedale Lemma - I don't have any inside information on whether the NYT plans to publish an opinion article by Tsedale in November 2021... Though I expect it would be useful to hear her opinions again. Boud ( talk) 15:23, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
