Talk:UConn Huskies

message: :Image:UConn logo.jpg 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 04:38, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

message: posted the split template, but did not start a debate, so I'm starting it off.
* Against - but not very strongly so. I don't really think there's enough material to be an independent article there.—Elipongo (Talk contribs) 21:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Splitting off Men's Basketball 

message: Shouldn't this also be split off? There seem to be several articles on individual seasons (and none of them are linked here) so it seems that it would make sense to have a main article to disambiguate and cover the team more fully. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:41, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Nevermind. I see there is an independent article. The way this article is organized isn't helpful for readers. There are short sections. And then larger sections on the same sports elsewhere. It should be organized better. Many readers may not notice that there is more information in the article than just in the first section or may miss the first section and not see the link to the main article.

thread_title: Men's Football

message: I took the liberty of correcting the capitalization on the "players" headings under various sports to make it "Players". However, shouldn't this be "Former Players" or "Alumni"? If nobody objects within three days I will make the changes myself. Smartyllama (talk) 18:31, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Players / Former Players 

message: I went to update the notable game section Connecticut Huskies#Notable games and realized that an almost identical section, except more up to date, existed at Connecticut Huskies men%27s basketball#Notable games.  It made me realize that every article on this article should link as much as possible to the specific sports team's page, to eliminate version creep and simplify editing.  I deleted the notable games on this article and linked to the notable games section on the men's team page.  I'm now going to make sure I didn't miss any games listed on the main school page that hadn't been added to the men's team page.  Thoughts? Timtempleton (talk) 17:10, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Overall, this article has WAY too much information in it, especially for the teams that have their own articles. For those teams that have stand-alone articles, the respective section here should be a few summary paragraphs. In turn, the athletics section on the University of Connecticut article should also have a few summary paragraphs about athletics and some of the most successful teams. No need to have extensive lists or detailed information. For instance, the women's basketball section has all the related templates in the section. None of those belong here since there is an entire article for the team. Wikipedia articles don't need to have every statistic or detail about the topic (see WP:FANCRUFT). --JonRidinger (talk) 03:34, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I’m unable to edit the official school colors as listed in the opening table. One can click the cited page or visit brand.uconn.edu to confirm that “National Flag Blue” is not the official brand color. It’s been about 5-6 years (to my knowledge) since that was what the school called it’s blue color. They then adopted a deeper shade in 2013. Dynen (talk) 04:23, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  University of Connecticut Official Brand Standards 

message: Recently, 3 men's soccer pages dating from before 2013–14 were moved from YYYY Connecticut Huskies men's soccer team to YYYY UConn Huskies men's soccer team (1981, 2000, and 2011) which appears to be against the consensus above, which called for only moving recent pages.  I suggest either moving them back and leaving redirects, or reopening the discussion to see if we believe pages from earlier than 2013–14 for all sports should be moved as well. Billcasey905 (talk) 18:41, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I think they should be moved back. Additionally with the schools rebranding back to Connecticut in all sports for select games, I would not be against having the discussion to move all pages back to Connecticut. I think the rationale to move them to UConn wasn't the strongest as all schools have nicknames and the vast majority of those nicknames are not used on wikipedia.

replies: text: For those with a view on this topic, I've opened a requested move on each of the three pages listed above. Billcasey905 (talk) 17:10, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
