[edit] Welcome and please leave comments
So, as you obviously are aware now, the new Pitt WikiProject is up and running. Please feel free to leave comments or suggests, or take the initiative and edit/add to the wikiproject yourself. CrazyPaco (talk) 23:24, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- glad it got started! I started putting some assessments for other articles. Really glad to see this! Lyellin (talk) 01:49, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Blue-Gold Game
Hey, just saw this in the news. I don't know much about it, but I guess the "Blue-Gold" this spring is becoming more and more popular. Perhaps this is worth an article? [1]--Shizzy9989 (talk) 16:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

- It most likely isn't sustainable as an independent article yet, but a section within the Pittsburgh Panthers football page would be justified. As a section in that article, it can grow from there.CrazyPaco (talk) 17:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Keeping track of deletions
Hey, I just made a page where we can keep track of AFDs and PRODs on Pitt-related articles. Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Pittsburgh/Deletion. I will leave it up to Mr. Crazy Paco to find a place for it on the main page. I pretty much borrowed it from the WP:UNI group. Speaking of that, I really like their layout, with the sidebar. Should we borrow that idea too? Template:WPUni sidebar--Shizzy9989 (talk) 03:44, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

- Not sure where to put that, so I added a subsection. Hopefully, we won't get many more AFDs;-) Feel free to move it though. I think this wikiproject may slowly move to Turnkey style over time, that seems to be all the rage, check out Columbia's and Georgia Tech's for examples. Feel free to add a side bar or clean up the main project page in any way you think might help. I actually modeled it on UVA's.CrazyPaco (talk) 05:53, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Also, I made a tag for Pitt articles that need cleanup: User:Shizzy9989/Sandbox.
I'll fix it up a bit before activating it.--Shizzy9989 (talk) 05:38, 20 April 2008 (UTC)- It is ready to go now. Check it out: {{Template:Cleanup-Pitt}}. Tagging an article with it will add it to Category:University of Pittsburgh needing cleanup.Again, I did borrow the code from WP:UNI--Shizzy9989 (talk) 05:46, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- The only problem is that it is a no-no to use a non-free images on any of the talk pages or templates. Non-free/Fair-use logos can only be used in articles with appropriate justification. There are bots out there patrolling the fair-use policy and the banner will get the "PITT" logo nominated for deletion because of this policy. Substitute your choice of any creative commons or public domain image onto the tag instead of the copyrighted Pitt logo. Feel free to place it in the template table as well once the logo issue is fixed. Thanks for making it!CrazyPaco (talk) 06:05, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, that was a dumb mistake. Fixed it. Also, here's an infobox that I got started: Wikipedia:PITT/Infobox. Maybe someone else can take a look at it and see want they think, and maybe tweak it. --Shizzy9989 (talk) 04:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Not disappearing
For the record, it's finals time at Georgetown, so if I'm not editing too much, that's why. Lyellin (talk) 01:11, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Nationality rooms
Here is a picture I took of a plaque in the Cathedral of Learning that has some information about the Nationality rooms: Image:Cathedral Plaque.jpg It is of poor quality, but the data it has about dedication years should be helpful to the Nationality Rooms article. I intended to take a bunch of photos of the rooms themselves, but they were all locked (WTF?). So, I took a pamphlet, and you can find the transcribed text of that pamphlet here: Image talk:Cathedral Plaque.jpg--TheZachMorrisExperience (talk) 05:55, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
