The bullet points under sports (pep band, fight song, and cheers) don't really seem to fit here. Should this be a separate "Traditions" section, or maybe left out of the article altogether?

Removed reference to Dr. Frank Rose successding John Wright as president of UAH. Dr. Rose was at one time president of UA, but not UAH.

Interesting edit on January 20, 2006 from IP address 71.242.39.203 . Seems that someone in the Philadelphia area deleted the reasons behind Dr. Louis Padulo's departure. MccullarsJ 19:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Concerning the "citation needed" tag for the sentence "In hockey games, it is common for this cheer to be interrupted by a goal, and in such an event, the pep band will resume where it left off after playing the fight song," I'm not sure how I could give you citation. Being the one who wrote that sentence, and being a member of the pep band for some time, the only citation that can be given is that of first hand account. Seems silly to ask for citation of that, but sure. Morte42 (talk) 09:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:UAH logo.png

Image:UAH logo.png is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

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 insure 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 there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 04:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UAH/UAHuntsville section removed

I would like to know why someone has repeatedly deleted the "UAH or UAHuntsville" section of the article. It has been a pretty significant debate here that has divided the university. I don't see any reason to delete it. Huntsville89 (talk) 00:58, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Once again, the same person who removed the section noted above thought it was appropriate to replace "UAH" throughout the article with "UAHuntsville." I would really like to know why, since UAH is the more recognized name for the university. If the person doesn't come up with a reason, I will assume it is vandalism and revert the edit.

Just as a followup, the user who made the changes is an anonymous user with an IP that belongs to UAH. I would not be surprised if it is a marketing/PR person there. I agree that the UAH/UAHuntsville section should be included, at a minimum to discuss the rebranding that seems to be occurring there. jblake 04:47, 18 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jblake (talk • contribs)

Since the user who placed the edits has not give a reason for them, I will revert their edits. Huntsville89 (talk) 19:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
