message: please find someone who has said weis' tenure could be a considered a moderate success. Becuase I can find a dozen articles that say it was a failure. I'll give you a few days to change it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.143.233.253 (talk) 02:14, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

message: *Does anyone think that ND's men (or both men and women) should get their own wiki entry?  Although it's not nearly as famous as the football team, ND basketball has a very storied tradition with many famous players and games that deserve their own space.  Thoughts?

replies: text: I like this idea. Notre Dame is the only Division I-A school ranked in the top 20 all-time in wins and wimning percentage in both football and men's basketball. The only thing missing from Notre Dame's men's hoops resume is an NCAA title. Cheemo 19:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I second it as well - Notre Dame is definitely a program deserving of such an article even without their storied past. Chiwara 21:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: *Against- Seperate article. Most schools have seperate pages for their mascot. - Libertyville | Talk 20:57, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

text: *Against - I agree. It should be separate. The athletics pages should generally be shorter in length and any subject that goes in-depth(like ND football) should have its own page. Especially the Leprechaun. The image is widely used by high schools and other organizations. There is also controversy from some people claiming it is a racist image. This is too off topic for the athletic page. Tedmoseby (talk) 20:46, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

message: There is a problem with the sourcing for the university's colors, listed in the infobox as "Madonna blue and papal gold." The reference supporting this, however, is to the university's "visual identity" handbook, essentially a style sheet for publications and media. Visual ID .pdf That document states "The official colors of the visual identity are Madonna blue and papal gold" - not those of the school itself. The athletic department correctly identifies and explains that the sports teams wear gold and blue, and in that order - UND Athletics. Now, the heraldry of the coat of arms of the university indeed features Madonna blue and papal gold - those are the colors depicted here. However - the SEAL of the university, included in the infobox, - University Seal||right|150 px|thumb - is the standard gold and blue, neither papal nor Madonna. The visual identity is not representative of the actual colors - the "Madonna blue" has never been worn as athletic colors, nor featured on pennants, nor on diplomas, nor anywhere else I can find or recall except for post-2009 publications. The sports monogram itself -  - is the traditional blue, far closer to navy than Madonna. This error needs to be changed, which I will do when I get a second source in addition to the athletics dept page cited above. Sensei48 (talk) 18:55, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
