Just a quick question. Why have you used the old University of Nottingham logo for your userbox? (unsigned comment 04:28, 21 April 2006 ArchonMeld)

Because a) it looks a lot better and b) the new one is only uploaded on wikipedia with the text, which would look stupid (and ruin the layout) in the userbox Modest Genius talk 17:44, 6 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

The copyright notice of the logo states that it may be used for any purpose related to promoting the university. Indicating current and past students is a form of promotion - therefore we can use it. I concede that maybe the copyright tag on the image is wrong, although I cant see a better one. I have replaced the image. Modest Genius talk 17:37, 23 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

If I read the page right, the promotion clause is still only used by the Univserity officials. No matter what, the image is still tagged as a fair use image and cannot use this image in the userbox at all. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 05:41, 17 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Category:School user templates

edit

At present, Category:School user templates includes userboxes for any type of educational institution, including universities; it was for that reason I added this userbox to the category. Cheers, Black Falcon (Talk) 20:53, 10 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, fair enough, but I guess that means the category needs fixing! Modest Genius talk 12:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Probably. :) It contains nearly 800 pages so subcategorisation might not be a bad idea. In any case, I'll leave it to your discretion whether you choose to place this page in the category. My Dec 10 edit only tinkered with the user categorisation function; I did not restore the "School user templates" category. Cheers, Black Falcon (Talk) 16:41, 12 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
