Hello Corkythehornetfan, I was wondering if you would please update File:Indiana State Sycamores logo.svg? My source for the new logo is from GoSycamores.com. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 05:46, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

@Charlesaaronthompson:  Done Corky 07:45, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you, Corky! I greatly appreciate it. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 04:13, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

New Los Angeles Rams logos

Hello Corky, I was wondering if there would be any way you could please update File:Los Angeles Rams logo.svg & File:Los Angeles Rams wordmark.svg? My source for both logos is the club's new website: RamsNewLook.com. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 23:52, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

The logo was updated., however I have not updated the wordmark as I can't find a png version. The one on the website is a .gif and when saved, it is blank. Corky 06:25, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
@Charlesaaronthompson: Update: I've uploaded a SVG file, first without the background however it was hard to read/see the logo so I went ahead and added the blue background. Corky 06:51, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you, Corkythehornetfan! Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 07:04, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Chargers new logo problems

Hey Corky, I was wondering if you could help me out on the new/updated LA Chargers logo and wordmark typeface. I've been trying to get an appropiate and clear/sharp image of their updated primary logo and wordmark logo, both in svg format. Unfortunately, it looks like I messed up somewhere along the way. The primary logo is too small and it appears blurry when you click to see its full image page from the wikipedia article. On top of that, the wordmark I uploaded did not transition well and is very blurry and uncrisp. If you can't fix them and adjust them, just let somebody who's very experienced with vector images and have done this type of stuff know or point me to someone.

This is also the case with the LA Rams wordmark (it is also uncrisp and a tad blurry on the edges). It needs to be royal blue (an official variant) because the sol yellow version only works well on a royal blue background and can not be seen well when matched with a white/transparent background. I contacted Sabbatino about that one but he says he is alittle busy right now.--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 05:16, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

@GalaxyFighter55: I've updated the LA Rams wordmark file to a vector with Royal Blue and the Chargers primary logo has been converted to a SVG. I'll leave the Chargers wordmark to Sabbatino unless I am able to find a PDF with the vector file in it that I can edit. Corky 07:09, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers updated logo colors

Hello Corky, I was wondering if you could please update File:Tampa Bay Buccaneers logo.svg? They have apparently changed the color of red in the logo. The new color code in the logo for red is  #A71930 . My source for this is from NFL.com. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 21:08, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Corky, I was wondering if you would please update File:Indianapolis Colts wordmark.svg? The Indianapolis Colts have publicly revealed their new wordmark logo, per Colts.com. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 00:23, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

@Charlesaaronthompson:  Done Corky 06:37, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
Thanks again, Corky! I appreciate all that you do to change the SVG logos for Wikipedia! Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 16:37, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

New logo & colors for the WNBA's New York Liberty

Hello again, Corky. I have yet another request: could you please update the SVG logo for the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA)'s New York Liberty? I believe the logo file is titled File:New York Liberty logo.svg. My source is per WNBA.com/Liberty. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 20:21, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

@Charlesaaronthompson: Yes, I will do it tonight. Sorry for the late response, I’ve been a bit busy with this virus and I haven’t been very active on here the past few months. Corky 23:11, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
@Charlesaaronthompson:Are you able to find a PDF file of that image? It's not going to look good if I convert the png image found on the website's header. Someone more experienced might be able to convert it better than I can over at the Graphics Lab. Corky 05:24, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Module:Gridiron color/data

There have already been multiple discussions about the Dolphins' colors, the most recent one being at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Football_League/Archive_17#Miami_Dolphins_table_colors_to_meet_WP:CONTRAST. White on aqua fails the accessibility guideline WP:CONTRAST, and Charlesaaronthompson made the change without discussing despite numerous previous discussions and warnings to discuss changes to the module. According to Wikipedia:Template_editor#Abuse, When a template editor's edit is reversed by a peer, the edit (or a similar one) must not be reinstated by the original or another template editor without clear discussion leading to a consensus decision which you have failed to do with your recent reversion. Eagles 24/7 (C) 19:17, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

@Eagles247: OK. I get it. I'm sorry I tried to make these clearly undesired changes. I'm sorry. I made these changes because it was my impression that Wikipedia's intent was to use white text on a colored background. Clearly, I should have understood that white text on an aqua background for the Miami Dolphins fails WP:CONTRAST. I'm sorry. I will not try to re-instate these changes or engage in an edit-war with you over it. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 20:11, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
@Eagles247: – I forgot about that discussion. The problem is that black is worse off than white contrast-wise. The white font has a better contrast than black. I gave my reason in the edit summary, if others have questions then they can always ask me and I'll explain further. Corky 05:56, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
The links you posted say white font has a contrast of 3.95 and the black font has a contrast of 5.316. The black font is WCAG AA compliant, and somewhat AAA compliant, while the white font is neither AA nor AAA compliant. WP:CONTRAST says Ensure the contrast of the text with its background reaches at least Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0's AA level, and AAA level when feasible. The bigger problem is that you still reverted my reversion before discussing, and WP:Template editor is clear about using its permissions. You are two of only 180 editors on Wikipedia outside of administrators who have template editor permissions, so I expect adherence to its guidance. Charlesaaronthompson, you are still reverting my reversions without discussion, this time on templates without template protection, but still in violation of WP:CONTRAST. To add, the "Colour Contrast Check" says the black font fails only because its "brightness difference" is less than 125, but I do not see guidance at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility for brightness, only contrast. Eagles 24/7 (C) 15:46, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
Well, I don't edit much for the Gridiron module so I've removed it from my watchlist. I don't care that much about the gridiron to edit it any further. Corky 20:43, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
You cared enough to revert my edit, but not enough to discuss it? Please revert yourself then. Eagles 24/7 (C) 13:56, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
Thank you. Eagles 24/7 (C) 14:54, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
@Eagles247: It appears that User:Spparky (talk) has decided on his own to change the text colors for the Miami Dolphins from black to white. I've spent a few minutes just now trying to undo all that, to ensure that the color codes are WP:CONTRAST guidelines for our color-blind readers. I understand your frustrations with my edits. Yes, I'm acutely aware that I'm only one of only 180 editors outside of administrators who has template editor permissions. I will do my best not to abuse that power. Like you, I share the same common goal of ensuring that color codes for professional sports teams adhere to WP:CONTRAST guidelines on Wikipedia. I'm sorry if I've frustrated you in the past.

Susan Combs photo

Hello Corkythehornetfan, do you know if the image of Susan Combs on this page is free to upload? It's the same as in this press release celebrating her confirmation. --1990'sguy (talk) 00:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

@1990'sguy: Possibly? I'm not sure, though. I can't find the image used anywhere else prior to her confirmation. Corky 01:29, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
OK. Since I also don't know, and since I know little about uploading images on WP, I won't do anything about this, though if a better image of Combs can be found, that would be good. --1990'sguy (talk) 03:49, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Unrelated to the above, do you know if this photo of Robert Spalding is free to upload? --1990'sguy (talk) 19:49, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

@1990'sguy: Yes, definitely free to upload. I've uploaded the picture, see here: File:Brig. Gen. Robert S. Spalding III official photo.jpg. Corky 21:13, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Image question/request

Hello, Corkythehornetfan, would you please confirm that the image File:MPack hearing closeup.jpg is Public Domain, and if so, would you please consider cropping it? Additionally, I just saw this image of Pack on the USAGM website, though I don't know whether it is acceptable for uploading. --1990'sguy (talk) 14:46, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

@1990'sguy: Yes to both, which would you like used? Corky 01:48, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
The USAGM photo has a higher quality and looks like an official photo, so I prefer that one. --1990'sguy (talk) 02:22, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Corky, I was wondering if would please help me. I want to move and change the titles for all articles related to Fox Sports (United States). The correct article title for Fox NFL should be the NFL on Fox. The correct article title for Fox Major League Baseball should be Major League Baseball on Fox. The correct article title for Fox NASCAR should be NASCAR on Fox, and so on and so forth. My source references are per each Fox Sports' property's Facebook page. For example, the source for the NFL on Fox title is per Facebook.com/NFLonFOX. The source for the 'MLB on Fox title is per Facebook.com/MLBonFOX. The source for the NASCAR on Fox title is per Facebook.com/NASCARonFOX. Would you be so kind as to please help me? Thanks in advance. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 06:29, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

@Charlesaaronthompson: I’d recommend requesting a move on one of the talk pages and include the others (see WP:RM for instructions). There’s been controversy in the past and it’s better to get a consensus on it, especially if there’s multiple articles involved. Corky 15:37, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello Corky, I was wondering if you would be so kind as to please help me? I'm requesting that File:ESPN on ABC.png be updated with the correct logo for ABC? There already is a file titled File:ABC (2013) Red.svg that should be used to replace the existing logo for ABC in that particular logo. My source for the ESPN on ABC overall logo is per ESPNPressRoom.com. Please help me? Thanks in advance. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 22:41, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

@Charlesaaronthompson: I apologize, I don’t have a computer at the moment, unfortunately, and nor will I for the foreseeable future. It crashed on me Saturday and won’t turn on. You’ll have go to the graphics lab on Wikipedia or find another user to help. Corky 01:12, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Image upload request

Hello Corkythehornetfan, would you please upload this image of Michael Kratsios? --1990'sguy (talk) 15:11, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

@1990'sguy: Sorry for the late response. Someone already uploaded it at File:Michael J. K. Kratsios official photo.jpg. That user does a lot of image uploading for US political officials, I’m going to recommend you ask them in the future as I’m not very active on here anymore. Corky 18:28, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
Thank you, Corkythehornetfan, both for checking to see if the image already was uploaded and for showing me who else to ask. I noticed that you had the "semi-retired" banner on your talk page, but I didn't know who else to ask at the time. --1990'sguy (talk) 18:33, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

New photos of Ole Miss coaches

Hey Corky, I have seen that you uploaded photos of Kermit Davis, Yolett McPhee-McCuin and Matt Luke. I would like to get photos for other Ole Miss coaches. If you would like to do so or if you could tell me how to get permission, I would appreciate it. Thanks for the help! Lsw2472 (talk) 18:25, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

@Lsw2472: Hello, my contact at Ole Miss is no longer there but anyone on this list should be able to help you. I’d start with the top person. They’ll need to send a declaration of consent thru OTRS on Wikimedia Commons. It’s an easy task for them to do and they can upload the files themselves. If you or they need assistance, I’ll be more than happy to help. Corky 20:53, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Guidance; general issues

Hello again, Corky. I was wondering if you would please take a look at my template-protected edit request over at Module talk:Gridiron color? Also, I was wondering if you would please help mentor me in becoming ready to apply again for template editor rights? I just need help satisfying the requirements necessary to re-apply for the WP:TPE right. I left a message on Swarm's (talk) page, but so far, he has not replied to my message. I'm getting the vibe that I'm being ignored. Please help me? Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 21:23, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

@Charlesaaronthompson: I’ll take a look sometime this week. I only check Wikipedia every couple of days so I’ll get to it when I can. Swarm looks like they haven’t edited since the 1st so I doubt they’re ignoring you. Before I do anything, I’m going to need to read through the complaint and see what all was argued so I know what you need to fix. I know one thing they’ve told you to do is to start using the sandbox, so before I make any changes I’m going to ask that you start using the sandboxes for each of the modules and show that you’ve edited it... if you haven’t done so already. Only 185 non-administrator editors have this right and if you are only using this right to change colors in modules, I’m not sure if that’s really a good enough reason to have this right. That’s just my opinion. Corky 04:36, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for at least replying to the message I sent you, Corky. Truth be told, I feel like I'm getting the vibe that other editors think I'm difficult to collaborate with. I just feel like I'm being purposefully ignored. You are correct, sir, on the point that yes, they have told me to experiment with editing in the sandboxes before unilaterally making any changes that could be disputed or contested by other editors. In the ten-plus years I have been an editor on Wikipedia, the biggest lesson I have had to learn is that I personally need to gain consensus from other editors before unilaterally making controversial edit changes. I don't intend on solely using the template editor right only for changing colors in protected modules, if I am re-granted this right in the future. If re-granted this right, I intend on using it responsibly and judiciously. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 05:21, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
@Charlesaaronthompson: So I looked over the complaint... the two biggest issues I see are (1) constantly changing your mind on the color coding, which leads to number (2) not using the sandbox. I am willing to help, when I have time or check Wikipedia which isn't too often, to review your edits, but don't ask me to look at your changes to the sandbox until you have your final edits. I'm not going to update the modules and then less than 24 hours have you change your mind and update it again; that's what can make you difficult to work with. If it's too big of an edit, and you may think another user might not agree with it, then you need to start a discussion on the talk page with either the more common editors of that page or by RFC – going with option 1 first. Reading through the complaint, I too, have issues with you "not knowing about the sandboxes", especially since (1) you were a template editor and (2) this edit shows you knew. If you're fine with this, then I'm willing to help. Corky 07:56, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
You're right. You're totally right. I'm 100% fine with everything you just said. I do know about the sandboxes. I'm fully aware that one of the problems that Eagles247 had with me was because he was frustrated that I constantly changed my mind. The whole point is to make a color code change one time and to leave it alone after that. I'm just frustrated because I don't know what I should do in order to clear the hoops necessary to be re-granted template-editor rights. I will do better from now on to experiment with using the sandboxes to test out my proposed color changes before I submit future final edit requests. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 18:57, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Hey Corky, I just wanted to follow up. I also wanted to say that I'm still 100% fine with starting future discussion on talk pages with more common editors of that page, if need be. Would you please be willing to help me? Right now, my proposed edit request over at Module talk:Gridiron color is my final edit request for the historical HTML or websafe color codes for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Is there a possibility you could please take time to look at it? What I'm asking for is not only that, but also some mentoring as to how to better become a future template editor. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 06:39, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
@Charlesaaronthompson: Where does Trucolor.net get their information? I'm skeptical of using this as a source (as well as from a YouTube video) ecause it's not known where they get their color codes from. They could be guessing for all we know... Also, if you want your questions answered on those talk pages, you'll have to use {{Edit template-protected}} so template editors can respond to your requests; that's why they're just staying there unanswered. Corky 23:29, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
Honestly, my best informed guess as to where TruColor.net gets its color information from is from Pantone.com (I think they just use the exact color codes for each color that Pantone.com provides, which is not necessarily official). I would ask them on Twitter, but I no longer have access to my own personal Twitter account. I honestly understand your skepticism of using TruColor.net as a source. Also, I have now added a Template:Edit template-protected tag to my template-protected edit request. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 00:46, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
@Charlesaaronthompson: Thanks. They have an email at the bottom of their website, you might try that. I guess my other question would be — is that the hex code used back in that time frame? I don’t know if they’ve changed over the years, know what I mean? Corky 04:08, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
Yes, I do know what you mean, Corky. Honestly, I do not know for sure if that is the exact hex code the Tampa Bay Buccaneers used in 1976 or not. What I would like to say is that I would very much like to amend my template-protected edit request to invert the color order without changing the hex codes. What I mean is, I would like to amend my template-protected edit request so that  red  is the pre-dominant color used by the Buccaneers from 1976–1996, with  orange  being used as the border color & alt primary color. Would that be possible? Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 07:01, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Officeholder infobox image captions

Why are you removing officeholder infobox image captions en masse? You're only saying "get a consensus" as if a specific user is edit-warring these in, but that's not the case. These captions have been in place for a long time and have been added by many different editors, so I think it's you who needs a consensus to remove them all. If there's a discussion you can link to that justifies these removals, please provide a link to it. Thanks. ― Tartan357 Talk 14:23, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

@Tartan357: No, they haven’t been there for “a long time”; it’s only been in Pence’s article for a month — get your facts straight if you’re going to come at me. The problem is there’s no consistency — you place it on Pence’s article but not Trump’s. I don’t care enough to continue this matter. Corky 17:39, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
I'm not trying to "come at [you]". I reached out to you in good faith to find out if there was a consensus-backed reason for your edits. Many of these captions have been there for quite a long time; you removed them from many articles, not just Pence's. There's a consensus on Trump's page not to use a caption, but that doesn't extend to other pages automatically. ― Tartan357 Talk 22:41, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Please accept my apologies for this edit summary. I wrongly assumed that your edit was made after our previous discussion here. ― Tartan357 Talk 14:08, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Signature request

Hey Corkeythehornetfan, I noticed that you have uploaded numerous SVG signatures to Wikimedia, and I was wondering if you could do the same for Tim Mahoney. A source for the signature can be found in this pdf. I'm really trying to improve the article, and the addition of a high quality, SVG signature would be greatly appreciated, as I am not able to do it myself. Thanks! -- Politicsfan4 (talk) 03:38, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

@Politicsfan4: I’d recommend going to Commons:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop and ask them. I don’t spend much time on here anymore and I got a new computer and didn’t download Inkscape, sorry. If they don’t respond within a week, let me know and I’ll download it. Corky 23:13, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

MLB Style Guide Access

Hey Corky, I was wondering if you had ever applied for and/or were granted access to MLBStyleGuide.com? I was checking through https://mlbigsp.majorleaguebaseball.com/PROD/news/news.htm and it says I have to contact a specific person for access to MLBStyleGuide.com. Do you have experience with this? Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 04:31, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

@Charlesaaronthompson: I don’t remember, I’ll have to go through my emails. Corky 03:12, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
@Corkythehornetfan: Have you found anything in your e-mails related to the Major League Baseball Online Style Guides? If so, would you please forward those specific e-mails? Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 04:00, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
@Charlesaaronthompson: Yea, the person listed in the pdf above advised it was for official sponsors only and won’t allow us access. Corky 06:48, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
@Corkythehornetfan: Yeah, I figured as much. I actually went to the trouble to e-mail her. I received a reply stating that the MLB Online Style Guides are reserved for MLB's business partners only. Oh well. At least we tried. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 03:00, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Something tells me that somebody forgot to set the date on the camera correctly according to the metadata...not sure if we should state 2021 for the date in the image description? Connormah (talk) 06:28, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

@Connormah: I saw that too, I think it’d be fine if we change it to 2021. At least it’d be more accurate. Corky 17:00, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
When I go to a website to cite exif data, it shows Feb 18, 2021 at 12:18 as the time taken. Wonder why it shows up differently here? Corky 18:04, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Hm, that's really strange. Maybe a query for some of the technical village pump forums here (not sure if there's an equivalent at Commons?). Connormah (talk) 19:00, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
@Connormah: Yes, something for them to look at. I’m not too familiar on Commons but I’d think they would.
Also, this website (when entering the picture url from USDOT’s website) shows the date above as well as this website, though the second one shows the original date top of September 2019 – I’m guessing you’re right though, they forgot to change the date. Corky 00:19, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey Corky, I just wanted to get your thoughts on whether we should use URL source references for official Major League Baseball (MLB) team colors from MLBShop.com? Specifically, what do you think about using this URL reference for the Chicago Cubs' team colors, or this URL reference for the St. Louis Cardinals' team colors? I found these URL source references searching "fanatics branded polo combo pack" at MLBShop.com (which is found here). Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 01:42, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

@Charlesaaronthompson: I’d rather reference the logo from the website than shirts. IMO that’s not a good source. At least with the vector logo on the team websites show the color codes. Corky 01:55, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
FWIW, I'm not suggesting that we use the color codes derived from the shirt source references at MLBShop.com. I only suggested those URL source references for team color name designations. I've tried doing Microsoft Bing & Google searches for official Major League Baseball team color name designations, but my experience with these searches have been sporadic at best. I just can't seem to find an official MLB.com source that spells out what the official team color name designations are for such teams as the Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies & St. Louis Cardinals. That's why I suggested using the MLBShop.com references as source references in the respective team articles. If you can do better than me at finding articles from each team's official MLB.com website spelling out their official team colors, then I would greatly appreciate your help.

Duplicate parm error

Hi Corky. This edit caused a "duplicate title" error in Module:College color/data, which propagated to several other modules. I'd fix it myself, but the module is protected. Thanks in advance. Davemck (talk) 17:04, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

@Davemck: Thanks for catching that! Looks like Paine Ellsworth corrected it. Corky 05:07, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
Just to acknowledge your ping, and also to thank you for giving me the credit! In that case I was just the rod and reel; editors Ira Leviton and Storchy were the ones who reeled that one in. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'r there 05:20, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out the MOS for contrasting colors (using alternate colors) on the 2022 Penn State Nittany Lions football team page in the stat summary tables. Bob305 (talk) 21:13, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

@Bob305: No problem! Most people don’t think about that stuff — I know I certainly didn’t until I started spending my time working on the colors. Corky 00:59, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry I've lost your good edits on this page. Couldn't work out how to put the right size dashes back in Lyndaship (talk) 18:43, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

@Lyndaship: no worries! I’ll clean it up, but it is pretty easy! For sections, use two (2) equal signs (==) before and after the wording, and for subsections, use three (3) equal signs (===) before and after the wording. Example would be == History == or === History ===. Let me know if you have any more questions. Corky 20:51, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

We no longer show the succesors-to-be, in the infobox

Howdy. Concerning political offices or seats, we no longer show the successor-to-be. We wait until they take office or their seat. Been that way for roughly four years now, on the 'pedia. GoodDay (talk) 08:00, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

@GoodDay: Thank you for the heads up, I appreciate it! I’ve been out of it for a while. Corky 08:51, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Quick question re: File:NewYorkYankees PrimaryLogo.svg

Hello! There's a discussion on another Wiki involving whether or not the "bat-in-the-hat" Yankees logo depicted in File:NewYorkYankees PrimaryLogo.svg is copyrighted or if it has passed into the public domain. I noticed that you uploaded the most recent version of this file, and I'm wondering if there is a particular reason that the file is claimed as non-free. Was this a merely a precautionary presumption based on the age of the logo, or was there a copyright registration/renewal that you identified prior to uploading the file on EnWiki? — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 08:48, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

@Red-tailed hawk: I’m not sure, I think I just updated the colors at the time. It was first used in 1947, but wasn’t trademarked until 2005. If I had uploaded the original, I would’ve uploaded it as non-free out of precaution until someone with more expertise could verify if it’s in the public domain or if it should non-free.

Unblocking of my account

Hi,

I noticed that my account was blocked after a warning I did not read before (I know, my fault) so I hope we could leave it to a final warning with me refraining from edits that violate copyright.

Countrymaster Countrymaster (talk) 17:46, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

@Countrymaster: I have no say in that as I'm not an administrator, and you've been blocked four times with multiple notices from multiple users. Good luck... Corky 19:07, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Nick Saban

I saw you reverted my edit saying if “he spent more than 4 years in the NFL you would agree”. However he spent a total of 8 seasons in the NFL. I think that multi-year involvement warrants the infobox change and, based on your stated logic, I think you would agree too. If you still do, feel free to change it back - WebberCold (talk) 00:05, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

@WebberCold: regardless of 4 or 8 years, he’s spent a majority of his time in college athletics. I won’t revert as it would be considered edit warring, but I’ll bring it up at the college football WikiProject. Corky 00:35, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
Good idea. Bring more editors in on the conversation! Much thanks — WebberCold (talk) 00:36, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Corkey, I would like to request your talents again to create a new (standardized) logo for the Oregon State University College of Business. If you need me to track something down for you, I can do so. Your help is always appreciated! Ludviggy (talk)

@Ludviggy: if you can find me a pdf file with it, that would be what I need! I think that was one of them I couldn’t locate. Corky 09:30, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan: Looking for it now. I know I have seen it used in a video, but I'm not sure that is acceptable. Ludviggy (talk) 15:42, 24 December 2022 (UTC) @Corkythehornetfan: Found it! https://business.oregonstate.edu/sites/default/files/cob_faculty_handbook-9-8-21.pdf Ludviggy (talk) 17:41, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

@Ludviggy: Thanks! Give me until Monday and I’ll have it uploaded then. I’m not home due to Christmas! Corky 20:04, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
@Ludviggy: I remember why I didn't do this one... that PDF has it masked and I haven't mastered the whole vector editing thing quite yet for that. I've requested a logo file from them and if I don't hear back from them, I'd recommend going to Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop. Corky 19:30, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

About the Katie Hobbs page

Hello, I'm a new user. I want to know why Gov. Hobbs' birthdate was removed from the page. Her twitter account confirms her birthday was December 28th, 1969, as did her campaign staff [1] [2] Ramireznatalie (talk) 14:29, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

@Ramireznatalie: I’m not sure, you’d have to ask Sunshineisles2 as they’re the one who removed it. Corky 20:46, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
@Corkythehornetfan I should explain what happened. When I landed on the page the other day, the December 28, 1969 DOB had a CN tag next to it. I added one from the National Governors Association, but I was reverted by @Mewulwe, who suspected that the reference was circular. I don't know how those NGA pages are curated/assembled, and so I decided to just add an approximate, but solidly sourced, statement that's there now. Sunshineisles2 (talk) 21:07, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Well, you can tell @Mewule add Hobbs' twitter account because she mentioned on December 29th, she said her birthday was yesterday, as in this context, her birthday is indeed December 28th, 1969, because her campaign staff mentioned this. They said she turned 53 in 2022, making her birthday in fact 1969. https://twitter.com/teamkatiehobbs/status/1608145093378330625 Ramireznatalie (talk) 01:54, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Super Bowl LVIII logo to french wikipedia

Hello,

I would like to ask you, could you convert the logo of the Super Bowl lviii to the French version of Wikipedia? It would really be appreciated AQuebecBoy (talk) 03:08, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

@AQuebecBoy: I'm unable to edit the French Wikipedia page, but just replace the file name with Super Bowl LVII.svg and it should work. Corky 03:25, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Ruth Bader Ginsburg (March 15, 1933 – September 18, 2020) was an American lawyer and jurist who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020. She was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton to replace retiring justice Byron White, and at the time was generally viewed as a moderate consensus-builder. She eventually became part of the liberal wing of the Supreme Court as the Court shifted to the right over time. Ginsburg was the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court, after Sandra Day O'Connor. During her tenure, Ginsburg wrote notable majority opinions, including United States v. Virginia (1996), Olmstead v. L.C. (1999), Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc. (2000), and City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation of New York (2005). This official photographic portrait of Ginsburg was taken by Supreme Court photographer Steve Petteway in 2016.

2016 Nebraska–Kearney Lopers football team

Hi Corky -- I've been working recently on key seasons for the Kearney program, creating articles on the 1941, 1956, 1958, and 1967 teams. The above article on the 2016 team relates to a 1-10 season, and it lacks any WP:SIGCOV from independent, reliable sources. In its current state, it doesn't meet WP:GNG/WP:NSEASONS standards. Can you check to see if you can find such SIGCOV and add it to the article? Cbl62 (talk) 16:06, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

@Cbl62: I highly doubt there’s coverage for it. I’ll take a look, just no promises when as I’m pretty busy this summer. If you need to delete it, you have my support. Corky 15:31, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Where on the NFL communcations website did you find File:Super Bowl LVIII logo.svg, because I can't find it on the site? Elisfkc (talk) 21:12, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

@Elisfkc: click ‘Publications & Logos’ up top, then select ‘Logos’, then it’s at the bottom of the page. You’ll need to register an account on the site in order to see it. Corky 21:26, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Do you have a sign in or something, because I don't see 'Publications & Logos’ at the top? Elisfkc (talk) 21:31, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
@Elisfkc: yes I do. I signed up several years ago when I was updating branding materials (logos, colors, etc.) for NFL clubs on here. Corky 22:05, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Ah, that would do it. I might give that a try then. Elisfkc (talk) 22:09, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
