thread_title: More reddish tint

message: The following sentence was added at the very top of the "Uses" section:
:For clarification purposes, the term "maroon" as used by Bugs Bunny was not referring to the color maroon, but rather, was Bugs pronunciation of the word "moron."
This sentence did not seem to merit such a prominent placement, so I deleted it. Alki 22:07, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Maroon is brownish-red, not red-violet. Just look at the word "marron", Spanish for brown.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.214.175.60 (talk) 23:57, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The section on Sports needs to be organized, perhaps by professional leagues, colleges and universities, and high schools (secondary schools). Examples of better organization abound in Wikipedia (cf. Vikings, Bulldogs, etc.). PlaysInPeoria (talk) 23:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The citation article for Australians pronouncing the word maroon differently is straight up just a random user-submitted opinion piece of a person saying "my mates told me it was pronounced this way, swear on me mum". As a Perth-based Australian myself, where the writer of that article claims to have been at the time, I have never heard this supposed alternate pronunciation used, and I would suggest that the claim be removed from the article unless a more credible source to cite can be provided.203.63.139.148 (talk) 17:38, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

message: An entry in List of colors: A–F contained a link to this page.
The entry is :
* Deep maroon
I don't see any evidence that this color is discussed in this article and plan to delete it from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors#New_approach_to_review_of_entries
If someone decides that this color should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.--S Philbrick(Talk) 17:08, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
