[edit] Prose needs a clean-up

This page is starting to look pretty good, especially with the new images and content. I have noticed that much of the text appears to be pulled directly from ASU sources, and some of it contains peacock terms. Specifically some of the best athletic facilities, honored guests, proud recipients, etc. Again, it's starting to look like a top notch article, but these things need to be cleaned up. Also, I'm not sure, but I suspect some of the images are stock photos and not released by the actual copyright holder as indicated.--Elred (talk) 04:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Off the top of my head, I think the pictures that uploaded are from the ASU website or another similar source (case in point: both Image:Ramshead.jpg and Image:ASURing.jpg, the latter of which I think I saw on promotional liturature about the ring ceremony a while back). Any edits by Stu8912 should be looked at carefully, and the proper copyrights should be looked up, since his talk page seems to indicate a history of image and copyright trouble. Other than that, I agree, this is shaping up to be a fine article...--Dynamite Eleven (talk) 20:29, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

You should be bold and tag the images which you think are being improperly used. I've wondered about some but only handled the ones I could verify. Editors in or near San Angelo could help out by taking pictures around campus and at various events. →Wordbuilder (talk) 01:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Again, most of my assumptions came from off the top of my head. It's been a trick trying to find the true sources of the images, but I was correct about Image:ASURing.jpg, which seems to have come straight off of the ASU alumni page. I've tagged it accordingly.--Dynamite Eleven (talk) 20:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I had a hunch about that one but couldn't find proof. →Wordbuilder (talk) 21:53, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not an image tagger. I'd feel like a taddle tale if I did that, but I'd like to see the suspect images replaced by legit ones. I haven't done any research on this, but I'm assuming the wiki-editor who added some of those photos didn't rent a helicopter. If he did, I'd like to get him to buzz by TTU's campus and get some shots for us too. If anyone over at ASU takes some photos I can slick them up in photoshop. Also, if anyone wants to take some shots of an ASU ring I can make one of those images like I did for Tech.--Elred (talk) 02:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't think User:Stu8912 gets it...the user has re-added the exact same ASU ring picture, and the new gum tree picture isn't his (I just looked it up with Google Images). He seems to be pulling pics from the ASU alumni website without permission. We need an admin to talk to him.--Dynamite Eleven (talk) 03:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Iffy images

I hate beating the dead horse, but it seems that Stu8912 (talk · contribs) might be operating through a couple of sockpuppets now...75.111.151.49 (talk · contribs) follows Stu's pattern of incredibly numerous ASU-related edits within a few hours, and ASUPHOTOG (talk · contribs) over at Commons uploads some of the same type of improperly-tagged copyvio photographs, some with Stu's distinctive doctoring to cover up watermarks. If both turn out to be Stu, then we need someone to take care of this problem, quick.--Dynamite Eleven (talk) 03:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Take a look at WP:CHECK. →Wordbuilder (talk) 13:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Just another comment...I am tired of being the only one who tags these copyvio images that Stu keeps uploading. A little help would be gladly appreciated.--Dynamite Eleven (talk) 05:43, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

But you're doing such a good job. I'm dedicating plenty of time to other areas of Wikipedia—including at times tagging bad images—that I don't worry about areas that seem to be better handled by someone else. →Wordbuilder (talk) 15:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
