All the lyrics you just posted are copyrighted off the UMinnesota webpage. You have a reference, but that doesn't allow you to copy and paste the lyrics onto Wikipedia. Unless you can prove that they're not under copyright, they're going to be deleted again. Another solution would to be to link to lyrics instead of copying them.

[edit] University of Minnesota Marching Band

I've created a stub article for the University of Minnesota Marching Band that I would love to see expanded upon. I would encourage you to expand it.. possibly with the help of Gopher Backer. Being a Marching Illini alum, I don't have all the background needed to make a great page for any other individual band, but I would like to see all of the Big 10 bands with excellent pages. -- Upholder 17:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome aboard

Sounds like we have a lot of the same interests, it'll be nice to have another person to provide input to the articles about the U! I'd been thinking about eventually trying to expand the Marching Band article, but I was only in it for a year, so if you have any ideas have at it. I also hope to re-do the Williams Arena article a little as well. If anything comes out of that group you suggested I'll probably join, but I've only been doing this a few months so I'm not sure what the procedures are for that or anything.

[edit] Template

Thanks for updating the U of M template to bring it into the same league as those from most other major universities. It really looks great. Subsurd 22:03, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Western Collegiate Hockey Association men's champions

just wondering how there could be two tournament champions in one season. I understand how there could be co champs during the regular season but how would there be co tourney champs Smith03 23:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WCHA, thanks

Thanks for fixing my mess up, I haven't the slightest where my head was. -Colslax 17:02, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Western Collegiate Hockey Association men's champions tournament locations

I was wondering if you know of or know where to get a list of the sites of the WCHA post season tourney since 60? Smith03 22:46, 22 March 2007 (UTC)


thanks I sent an email this morning to the league office to see if they would/could provide a list of the sites. yes it would be interesting to have a history of how the tourney has changed over the years. one possible way that two teams could have tied for the championship if you had 4 teams in a round robin tourney where ties are allowed and each team plays the other 3 teams. you could have two teams finish 2-0-1.

[edit] Minneapolis

Hello. Does Minneapolis, Minnesota look all right to you? Please pardon this form letter that is going to about a dozen people whose user name I recognize from some Wikipedia edit (could have been recent or in the past year). I expect to close peer review by nominating Minneapolis to featured article candidate in a day or two unless other editors have more work they'd like to do. In case the links help, places to make a difference are to edit in place, comment in the peer review, comment on the talk page, support or oppose when and if it gets to featured article candidate, or work on a child article linked from the following template. -Susanlesch 23:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Little Brown Jug

I reverted your last change to Little Brown Jug (football) because you lacked a citation for stating that this trophy is the oldest in college football. It's also not a neutral statement. I tend to disagree with that statement, considering all of the other trophies and their respective histories listed on List of NCAA college football rivalry games. There are many that pre-date the Little Brown Jug. -- Billma 15:47, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:2003frozenfour.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:2003frozenfour.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ~ Wikihermit 00:29, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quick note on the above image

Hi, I noticed you placed in the Fair Use template --but be careful to make sure you pull the complete template (as annoying as it can be, sometimes copying a template from another page may leave something out --I've found that out after the fact as well). The template you used was missing the "| Article =" line where you throw in the article name its being used in to complete the template. I went ahead and added it. Since I support the use of Fair Use images I wanted to give you the heads up for any other images you might upload. Take care! --Bobak 16:49, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2007-08 Gophers hockey

Do you plan on expanding for the rest of the WCHA or possibly creating something like 2007-08 NCAA Division I men's hockey season? I would be happy to help you if we made a sandbox or something. ---CWY2190TC 03:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking about creating a WikiProject. I am willing to help. I think creating a page on the D1 season would be best for organization as you said. ---CWY2190TC 03:58, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I'll take a look at it later. I'm creating a North Dakota season page. ---CWY2190TC 04:34, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2003 WCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament

This article that you recently created has several inconsistencies in data, including:

  • The title refers to the 2003 tournament, yet the first sentence says 2008.
  • References 1 and 2 refer to Minnesota's wins in 2006 and 2007, which is 3 and 4 years after this article's title

Could you please clean this up and make sure the article says what it is supposed to say. Thanks. Truthanado (talk) 00:51, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
