Orphaned non-free image File:Northwestern Mutual logo.png
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Northwestern Mutual logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:09, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
Why?
[edit]What's the reason behind this edit? The url listed before lists the exact same color information? Corky 01:08, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Corkythehornetfan: The reason why I changed the URL for the Northern Iowa Panthers at Module:College color/data is because the current URL comes straight from the UNI Panthers' athletic website. So, in a sense, it is an official URL reference, and should thus be used at the module. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 02:30, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Tennessee Titans colors
[edit]Thanks for the new link - looks like you've found contradicting sources. The team says one thing, the league says something slightly different. I think the team is the slightly better source here, as stewards of their own identity, but didn't want to make the change without talking first. What do you think - team or league? SixFourThree (talk) 13:46, 29 March 2018 (UTC)SixFourThree
- @SixFourThree: Why not both? The way I see it, let's leave the references in the infobox alone, for now. I don't believe that the Titans are going to drastically change their club colors, so let's leave both URL references in the infobox. The club's media guide and the reference from the National Football League (NFL)'s Record and Fact Book are not substantially that different. Let's wait until the club releases its media guide and the NFL releases its updated Record and Fact Book for the 2018 NFL season. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 21:42, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
- I don't have a problem with including both references, it's just that they list different color names and in different orders. I think the team's designations should receive more weight than the league's. But you raise a good point; new uniforms are coming and with them possibly new colors. When those are unveiled, and the 2018 media guides and released, we'll see if there is still a conflict. If so, which one do you think should be favored? SixFourThree (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:08, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
- @SixFourThree: I don't know yet. I guess we'll have to wait and see until after the Titans' new uniforms are unveiled and the team's media guide and the NFL's Record and Fact Book are released. That's all I can say about it for now. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 20:14, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Non-free images without rationale
[edit]I noticed that you had added File:NBA Playoffs logo new.png to 2018 NBA Playoffs. I had to remove the image because there is no fair use rationale on the file description page for use on "2018 NBA Playoffs". Even though anyone could add a rationale, I still would not add the file even with the second rationale because I believe it would fail WP:NFCC#3a, which says that "Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information", since the same logo will likely be used again and again at least for the next several years. Thank you. — MRD2014 Talk 02:07, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- @MRD2014: OK, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I guess I will spend some time reading up on WP:NFCC#3a. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 06:31, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
Upcoming changes to wikitext parsing
[edit]Hello,
There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.
There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{infobox ship}} is parsed).
If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.
Thank you for all the good things you do for the English Wikipedia. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:18, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

DYK for 2015 White Sox–Orioles crowdless game
[edit]On 29 April 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2015 White Sox–Orioles crowdless game, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during the Baltimore Orioles–Chicago White Sox crowdless game three years ago today, announcer Gary Thorne called an Adam Jones at-bat in the hushed tone of golf announcers like Jim Nantz? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2015 White Sox–Orioles crowdless game. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, 2015 White Sox–Orioles crowdless game), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

File uploading
[edit]File:Anaheim Ducks wordmark logo.png is not a non-free file. It cannot be non-free because it is just letters. Files like this should be uploaded on Wikimedia Commons as they are public domain material. Otherwise uploading it as non-free would put the file in violations of WP:NFCC#8 as non-free files can only be used in one article. Corky 01:58, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- Well, I figured I would check your other uploads and there are quite a few that need to be converted to Public Domain licensing. Corky 01:59, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Corkythehornetfan: OK, thank you for letting me know about this. I guess if you want, you could go ahead and convert these files to Public Domain licensing and then let me know so I can tag each one that has been converted for deletion in the future. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 05:50, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- That's not my job to convert it. You made the error, you need to fix it. Once converted to {{Information}} and {{PD-text}}, you can tag them with {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}}. Corky 00:16, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Recent NBA colors updates
[edit]Hey. I saw that you updated several colors for old teams as can be seen here. I would like to know where to locate these logos in the NBA website? I already figured a way out to locate them by changing numbers and letters in the address bar, but that is quite boring. – Sabbatino (talk) 12:58, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Sabbatino: Here's how I did that. I went to stats.nba.com/scores I then clicked on the calendar date and selected a random date to find a day when an old NBA team played a game. For example, to find out the HTML color codes for the San Diego Clippers, I clicked on the calendar date for March 30, 1984 (the URL for that game is found here). I then right-clicked on the logo and selected "Open image in new tab" (sic) in Google Chrome. That led me to this URL. Once there, I right-clicked on a color and selected "Inspect". The HTML color code is found under the "path fill" line for each specific color. I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, feel free to leave another message on my talk page, and I will do my best to respond as soon as possible. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 20:54, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link. However, I only asked for the logos' destinations in the website. I do not care about the colors as I use programs to find out the codes when I need it. – Sabbatino (talk) 06:44, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Sabbatino: OK, I understand. All I can tell you is that not all historical NBA team logos are available at Stats.NBA.com. All I did was check for a random date in the calendar, and then go from there. I think the best advice I can give is to use this URL as an example template, figure out which year a historical team played, and its three-letter abbreviation code. The example URL I listed above is for the 1995–96 Seattle SuperSonics season. I believe that you just have to know the three-letter abbreviation code and the year a specific team played to find the logo in question. Also, I would use Google Image search and type "(specific historical team) logo nba.com" in the search box. That's what I have also done. Feel free to leave another message if you have any further questions, and I will do my best to help. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 22:19, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
- I already figured out that not all old logos are there as I did some searching yesterday. And I figured out the changing of the address in the bar thing before I wrote to you. – Sabbatino (talk) 07:52, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 18:06, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Lightning–Panthers rivalry
[edit]Firstly, I wanted to thank you for all your improvements to the page Governor's Cup (Florida). However I did want to ask about the shade of blue you are using for the Lightning in results table. As an avid TBL fan that has attended many games, I can categorically say that the shade of blue currently in their uniform is not anything close to the navy blue you switched to in the table. It's actually much closer to a royal blue, but a bit darker/richer than that. I understand that you might be going by a standard set elsewhere by another editor, but even with that in mind it doesn't really meet the eye-test. For my part, I don't plan on switching it on you, b/c that would be the pettiest of edit wars to get into. I'm just asking that you revisit the color choice. Kind regards and happy editing -Creativewill (talk) 16:51, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Creativewill: The only reason why I used #00205B is because I found a URL web page from NHL.com that uses that specific HTML color code. The URL is found here (right-click on the headline text and select 'Inspect' in Google Chrome). If you can find a better NHL.com URL that specifies the exact HTML color code the Lightning use, then be my guest and feel free to update all relevant templates and the main Lightning article.

NFL Color Template Updates
[edit]Hey, I'm currently in the process of writing a module to replace all the individual color templates. I dumped the existing templates into a data file at Module:Gridiron color/data, but I want to make sure that the data file doesn't get out of sync with the existing templates between now and when the module goes live. When you update the existing templates, could you update that file as well?
Each team is listed as an array of the format ["team name"] = {"primary color", "secondary color", "tertiary color", "alternative primary", "alternative secondary"}
. Alternative names are indicated using ["team alternative name"] = "team name"
Years are listed using XXXXthruXXXX
notation, and the module will take care of translating both the |year=
parameter as well as the the deprecated XXthruXX
notation. All colors are listed as hex-formatted colors with the # sign, as the module will take care of the formatting currently done for the various subtemplates (i.e. adding "background:" or "color:" or "/**/").
Thanks. --Ahecht (TALK

User page template on your user page
[edit]Thanks for your attempts to improve Wikipedia. I'm not sure why you're adjusting infobox spacing, but that's a different issue. I came to suggest that it might be a good idea to put a {{User page}} (or similar) on your user page since it looks a lot like an article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:34, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Maryland colors...
[edit]This is all I am going to say. Still the same colors on the new website. Corky 01:42, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

- Yet you had no problem a year ago. I realize the url was outdated, but it is pretty evident that they did not change. There was no official url for when we changed the colors a year ago - we just a PMS number that the media guides use (and still use if you look on the website). I've updated the url to this. Please make up your mind on how you're going to update colors. Corky 02:18, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Corkythehornetfan: Yes, you're correct. No, Maryland's colors did not change. All I wanted to do was replace the outdated and expired URL reference(s). I'm OK with how it's rendered now for all pages and templates involved. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 02:34, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Inter Miami C.F.
[edit]Thank you for the move. Can you help move it to "Inter Miami CF", as it was originally? The club doesn't use the periods, and the standard for MLS articles is not to put periods after "FC" or "SC", I don't know why they were added in the last page move.

Houston Astros division titles
[edit]hey I think we really need to fix the division titles separate, because it's different divisions, like instead of NL Central/West Division titles it can be
NL West Division titles (3) 1986, 1981, 1980. NL Central Division titles (4) 2001, 1999, 1998, 1999. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller (talk • contribs) 21:04, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
hey hello? The Speller (talk) 14:49, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
the NL West and NL Central is separate, it'll be easier for people when they look at the division titles separate instead of both all together because then some people would wanna know which one is west and central The Speller (talk) 19:50, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- @The Speller: Yes, I see the messages you have left me on my talk page. I understand that you want to list the NL West and NL Central division championships as separate for the Houston Astros. I have been incredibly busy with my work in real life, which is why I have not had a chance to reply to your messages until now. I have looked at Template:Infobox MLB, and if you can find a way to list the division titles as separate without getting an error message for duplicate data in the misc5 and OTHER DIV TITLES fields of the template, then go ahead. Feel free to revert my edits. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 02:40, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- @The Speller: It looks like User:Zepheral has addressed your issues in this edit. You should thank them for that edit. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 02:45, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) User:Zepheral has added extra parameters to Template:Infobox MLB here which should solve the issue. - BilCat (talk) 02:52, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Miami Marlins
[edit]Can you check the talk page for the Miami marlins about colors? I’m on my tablet and I haven’t seen anything that says they’ve changed colors. Thanks, Corky 04:12, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Corkythehornetfan: I'm looking at the Miami Marlins' website right now. It does not look like the team has changed their logo or color scheme just yet. I also checked Talk:Miami Marlins, and added my own personal response. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 19:16, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks! I don’t do a lot with MLB teams on here, so I thought you’d be the contact to check with. Corky 19:22, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- And, you check mlb teams more regularly than I do! Corky 19:23, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Corkythehornetfan: You're welcome. Also, it looks like the Marlins will be unveiling their new logo and color scheme on Thursday, November 15, per the team's Twitter account. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 19:29, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks to both of you for looking into this situation. I don't mess with color schemes at all, it being beyond my expertise. The OP on the Marlins talk page is probably quite young, and is exited about the new scheme, but has little experience with WP's policies, especially WP:CRYSTAL. It's good to have other experienced editors watching the situation. Thanks again. - BilCat (talk) 19:46, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
Boston Celtics' colors
[edit]What are your reasons for changing the Celtics' colors? That NBA.com source only mentions that those colors are part of the new "City Edition" uniform and does not say anything about the changing of team's color scheme. This and this show more colors than you imply on listing. I thought about looking for any information regarding the colors in the 2018–19 official NBA guide but had no luck. – Sabbatino (talk) 09:50, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Sabbatino: You are 100% correct. My reasons for changing were mainly because of the NBA.com article that referenced the Boston Celtics' new City Edition Nike jersey, but I have now self-reverted the colors in the infobox of the Boston Celtics article back to where they were, per this edit diff. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 19:03, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for reverting to the officially listed colors. However, the Celtics' Reproduction and Guideline sheet also lists "beige" as the team's color, but I am not sure if it is used anywhere and if it should be added to the infobox. And the order is also incorrectly listed if we go by this source. – Sabbatino (talk) 12:27, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

NHL (also NBA) cities in infoboxes and tables
[edit]Please do not remove the state from the team's city as you did in the New York Rangers' and New York Islanders' infoboxes and the the NHL's page. This is the standard for NHL and NBA pages. In addition, there was a user in the past who was running around using AWB doing the exact same thing and he got blocked several times for ignoring other users. – Sabbatino (talk) 04:57, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Sabbatino: OK, I admit to and apologize for doing it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I have now restored the state name for New York State as part of the wiki-link piping for the location fields in the infoboxes of the teams' and leagues' respective articles. I have done this as part of an effort to reduce the amount of excessive wiki-link piping in the location fields in the infoboxes. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 05:28, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Sabbatino: Thank you for reminding me what the consensus was for the
|location=
field in the infobox of the Brooklyn Nets article, per this edit diff. Honestly, I was only trying to make a good faith edit in order to bring the Nets' article into line with other New York City area sports team articles, but I guess I must have forgotten what the consensus was. IMO, it's too complicated to list the boroughs in the|location=
field, unless there's apparently a specific consensus that has been reached by all editors involved. Should we poll other editors to gain a consensus for the|location=
field in the infobox for the New York Islanders article as well? I'm only asking because apparently, the Islanders also play the majority of their NHL ice hockey games at the Barclays Center. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 05:42, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
- There is no need to apologize or write lengthy messages justifying your actions when there is nothing controversial about it. Moving on to the Islanders' question, the difference between the Nets and Islanders in this instance is that the infoboxes used for NBA and NHL pages are different and they have different parameters
|location=
for the NBA and|city=
for the NHL. I remember asking at WT:NHL or the Islanders' talk page about it and editors were in favor of listing "New York City, New York" for the Islanders since Brooklyn is not a city and the parameter at ice hockey's infobox is for city. I do not think that the consensus would change this time so it is better not to waste time asking about it (of course you can do it if you want). – Sabbatino (talk) 05:48, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

- @Sabbatino: OK, thanks again for explaining to me what the current consensus is among other editors regarding the
|location=
field in NHL team articles. As far as I'm concerned, I'm OK with the consensus as-is, and I'm also OK with how it's spelled out in the first few paragraphs of the New York Islanders article as it currently is. I won't waste time asking other editors about trying to change the consensus. I'll promise to leave it alone. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 05:56, 11 May 2019 (UTC)- My mistake.

for the NHL infoboxes. – Sabbatino (talk) 06:02, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Los Angeles Chargers' colors
[edit]The Los Angeles Chargers did indeed change their PrimaryStyle from navy blue to powder blue for the upcoming 2019 season. However, I think that the AltPrimaryStyle should be a navy blue background (with white text), instead of a gold background (with navy text). It's likely that the navy blue jerseys that were the team's primary home jersey in recent seasons will now be the alternate third jersey. DPH1110 (talk) 20:55, 25 May 2019 (UTC)DPH1110
Publisher in citations
[edit]I did a partial revert on some of your citation formatting at 2019 NBA Finals. Per {{cite news}}, we typically do not specify |publisher=
when it closely duplicates the work's name e.g. The New York Times Company for The New York Times. Also, when publisher is specified, designations like "Ltd", "Inc.", or "GmbH" are not included e.g. ESPN Internet Ventures, LLC. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 06:55, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
- For your more recent edits such as this, a listed website like stats.nba.com does not need a redundant publisher of NBA, and you are still adding unneeeded LLC there. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 01:40, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Bagumba: Pray tell, what exactly is wrong with listing "NBA Media Ventures, LLC" as the publisher in the inline citations? I'm not about to just list the website as NBA.com, so I guess I'll just list the publisher only instead from now on. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 18:57, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- I reckon you missed the documentation. I've extracted it verbatim:
Omit where the publisher's name is substantially the same as the name of the work (for example, The New York Times Co. publishes The New York Times newspaper, so there is no reason to name the publisher)

Changing references to NBA.com
[edit]Please don't change reliable URLs to AP recaps, merely to have them point to the same content on NBA.com instead, such as this edit of yours on 2019 NBA Finals. First of all, it's unnecessary churn. Secondly, and perhaps more important, game URLs from NBA.com work differently depending on what country you are accessing it from, or perhaps whether you have League Pass or not. You might not have been aware, but this was brought up before at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Basketball_Association/Archive_31#Broad_pattern_of_editing_in_a_manner_that_is_counter_to_WP:V (see towards bottom). Thanks for your understanding.—Bagumba (talk) 18:42, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Bagumba: The only reason why I'm doing that is because I don't want the box score sections in the game summaries field to list URL references from ESPN.com. ESPN.com is NOT the official website of the NBA, so we should use NBA.com as the URL sources for box scores in that section. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 18:58, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- I only mentioned recaps. I said nothing about boxscores.—Bagumba (talk) 00:12, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Raiders Colors
[edit]All sources say Black is the main color, all of their uniforms, media, and apparel have mostly Black, “Silver and Black” is just a nickname, nothing more. SportsFan007 (talk) 22:00, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
- @SportsFan007: Black is only the main color of their primary uniform. Silver is listed as the team's first color, per the club's media guide. Just because the Raiders relocated to Las Vegas does not mean that the primary color listed first should be black. Now, I don't want to engage in an edit-war with you over this, but please stop changing the primary color order for the colors in the infobox of the Las Vegas Raiders article. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 22:06, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Corkythehornetfan: Care to engage in this discussion? Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 22:10, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Charlesaaronthompson: I don’t see any mention of team colors in the media guide, nevertheless, listing order means absolutely nothing. @Sabbatino and Tom Danson: can you say anything about this? SportsFan007 (talk) 22:22, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
- @SportsFan007: Look under the Quick Facts section on page 9 of the club's media guide reference I linked to earlier. Also, look at page 117 of the 2019 NFL Record and Fact Book. That reference clearly states "Team Colors: Silver and Black". Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 22:29, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
- If personally go black and silver, but that’s just me. I don’t think it’s the same as college where the school colors should be in order. Black and silver just sounds better. Corky 03:38, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- The situation with the Raiders' colors is tricky. They list "silver and black", but I have seen reports from Al Davis itself that the team's colors are "black and silver". In addition, silver is hardly used by the Raiders anywhere (merchandise, social media, etc). – Sabbatino (talk) 13:21, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Sabbatino: Care to find a direct URL reference from the Raiders that says that the team's colors are "black and silver"–in that order? AFAIK, "Silver and Black" is not just a nickname–it's their official team color order, per the team's media guide & the NFL Record and Fact Book references I have linked to earlier in this discussion.

- If personally go black and silver, but that’s just me. I don’t think it’s the same as college where the school colors should be in order. Black and silver just sounds better. Corky 03:38, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- @SportsFan007: Look under the Quick Facts section on page 9 of the club's media guide reference I linked to earlier. Also, look at page 117 of the 2019 NFL Record and Fact Book. That reference clearly states "Team Colors: Silver and Black". Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 22:29, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Charlesaaronthompson: I don’t see any mention of team colors in the media guide, nevertheless, listing order means absolutely nothing. @Sabbatino and Tom Danson: can you say anything about this? SportsFan007 (talk) 22:22, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Miami Dolphins colors
[edit]Hi, why did you change back the Dolphins' font color to white? The white on aqua does not meet WP:CONTRAST, which is why we settled on black text on aqua background at the time. Eagles 24/7 (C) 21:53, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- And you changed the Broncos colors back here despite the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Football_League/Archive_17#HTML_color_codes. Eagles 24/7 (C) 21:55, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Eagles247: I did all that because it's obvious that orange is the Denver Broncos' primary color, and I thought that the main reason why it was orange at Module:Gridiron color/data was to reflect the club's primary jersey color. However, you are right, and I have now reverted back the color codes so that navy blue is the primary color, in order to meet WP:CONTRAST guidelines regarding accessibility. Another discussion is needed for the Miami Dolphins. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 23:34, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, and I agree that we need to discuss the Dolphins' colors further. Eagles 24/7 (C) 13:13, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
- I have started a discussion here with possible color combinations to use. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:10, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
- I pointed you to the discussion at WT:NFL above to discuss the Dolphins' colors, you chose not to discuss, a discussion was had with other editors, and a consensus was formed to change the color scheme. I implemented the changes per that discussion, and you've reverted my changes. Either revert your reversions per the consensus at WT:NFL or discuss your rationale there. This is a collaborative encyclopedia, and we need to work together to find an appropriate solution for everyone. Eagles 24/7 (C) 14:03, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

- @Eagles247: I have now commented on the discussion over at WT:NFL. Personally, I vote in favor of Option 1 (aqua background, black text, orange border color). Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 17:53, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Broncos colors
[edit]This is now the tenth time in the past three months (and sixth time this month alone) that you've changed the colors on Template:Denver Broncos roster. Please do not change the colors again, the current version is the preferred one based on the previous discussion at WT:NFL linked above. Eagles 24/7 (C) 21:34, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Eagles247: Yes, I know. I keep changing the color code formatting for the Denver Broncos because I wanted to somehow show that orange was the club's primary color. However, I do realize how hard it is for color-blind readers to see white text on an orange background. I understand that the whole point of changing the colors was to make them meet WP:CONTRAST guidelines regarding accessibility, especially for our color-blind readers. I'll promise to stop changing the colors. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 22:15, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Eagles247: Yes, I know I said I would promise to stop changing the colors, but I have now once again changed the color code formatting for the Denver Broncos. Orange is their primary color. My justification for making this change is this: if we allow color text in the title for one NFL team, then we can and should allow it for all other teams who use a color such as aqua or orange. The color codes are WP:CONTRAST compliant, as I have ensured they will be. My sources for the Broncos' use of orange as its predominant color is from the team itself, which can be found at DenverBroncos.com and also the club's 2019 media guide. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 06:22, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
- Discuss with WT:NFL before changing any more NFL colors. This is frustrating to have discussions about the colors and then have you unilaterally make changes (many, many times) without discussion, in violation of the guidelines you agreed to at Wikipedia:Template editor when you were granted the tool. These are not changes that are of immediate concern that wouldn't warrant a thoughtful discussion with other members of the NFL WikiProject, yet you keep making these decisions on your own.

Tampa Bay Vipers colors
[edit]Hi, it looks like the current Tampa Bay Vipers color scheme isn't accessible per [1]. Tampa Bay Vipers . What do you think it can be changed to? Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:25, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Eagles247: OK, I have now changed the color codes for the XFL's Tampa Bay Vipers. They are now WP:CONTRAST compliant, per WebAIM.org. The color codes were derived from XFL.com (direct URL link; color codes were extracted using Paint 3D in Windows 10). Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 01:24, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
- Great, thanks! Eagles 24/7 (C) 01:26, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Los Angeles Chargers navy blue color
[edit]Hey there, just wanted to let you know it appears the Chargers have fully let go of navy blue as their color scheme. In Module:Gridiron color/data, it should be removed anywhere from the current scheme in the table. (which appears to be one of the last two codes, can't remember the exact name but it is the text color on the secondary color code) and probably replaced with powder blue.--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 05:55, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- @GalaxyFighter55: I would change it to powder blue, except for the fact that powder blue text on a yellow background fails WP:CONTRAST guidelines, so that's why we had been using navy blue as the secondary text color code for the Los Angeles Chargers at Module:Gridiron color/data. My reference for powder blue text on a yellow background is found at WebAIM.org. I'll go ahead and change the text color code to black for now, in order to meet WP:CONTRAST guidelines regarding accessibility for color-blind readers. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 04:59, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- @GalaxyFighter55:
Done, per this edit diff. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 05:03, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
