Proposed merge with 1916–17 Connecticut Aggies men's basketball team
The fact that on its own this team-sheet may not meet notability guidelines.

- Keep : As part of the wikiproject college basketball, all season pages are relevant and should be kept. Mjs32193 (talk) 15:29, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
- I wouldn't be in favor of trying to merge 100-odd season articles into the main program article; that would make the main article way too long. UConn basketball seasons in general receive extensive coverage from multiple independent secondary sources, but I'll admit I'm not as familiar with pre-World War II seasons. I may have some sources that could be added, let me look into this. –Grondemar 15:39, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
- Looks like User:Mjs32193 beat me to the punch and added the main source I wanted to add (the Ken Davis book). I oppose merge due to listing all of the season results in the main article being undue weight within the main article, and believe we should keep the season articles as they both meet WP:NSEASONS and WP:GNG. –Grondemar 23:57, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep: I would try however to keep schedule formats consistent throughout the years....see current team yearly formats for examples....Pvmoutside (talk) 19:35, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

- It has been a month and all comments seem to be in agreement to keep and do not merge. For further discussion on this topic please visit my talk page. Mjs32193 (talk) 20:51, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
We need to update the logo.
Can somebody with more copyright savvy than me update the UConn wordmark logo to the current Husky head?
We are using an old logo that is no longer in use: https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/884/UConn_Huskies/ 2601:19C:5100:3C00:44B2:1BC3:EA6E:C4F2 (talk) 15:32, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- According to that source, the wordmark currently in the article is currently in use. It's listed as being used 2013 to present. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 21:17, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
@Arthurix WP:MOS is the style manual for all English Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia editors follow it for editing articles. MOS:HASH says "Avoid using the # symbol (known as the number sign, hash sign, pound sign, or octothorpe) when referring to numbers or rankings. Instead write number, No. or Nos." It does not say except for sports rankings. If you disagree with MOS:HASH you can start a discussion in MOS to have that rule changed. Other pages violating MOS:HASH is not a reason to revert an edit that follows MOS:HASH. Please do not revert war. The use of #1 or #2 in ranking clearly violates MOS:HASH no matter what some other pages do.
You quote the language "Where more than one style or format is acceptable under the MoS, one should be used consistently within an article and should not be changed without good reason". That is a correct statement. However the use of #1 or #2 is clearly *not* acceptable under the language of MOS:HASH ""Avoid using the # symbol... when referring to ... rankings". That sentence supports leaving the terms as either "number 1" or "No. 1".

Please note that in no way am I intending a revert war; but as with the comic book example in MOS:HASH, college basketball ranking is similar in their use of the pound sign for rankings in text. Adding 'number' in place of it brings in nearly 500 more characters to this article and harms readability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthurix (talk • contribs) 18:19, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Added to Wikipedia:Third opinion Kaltenmeyer (talk) 22:30, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- I changed # to the shorter No. (which follows the rule of MOS:HASH) instead of the word number. I have never seen the number of characters be an exception to MOS. This will use less characters and will be compliant with MOS:HASH. Also comic books are a recognized exception to MOS:HASH. Sports rankings are not an exception recognized by MOS:HASH at this time.

| Declining for now: A prerequisite for requesting a third opinion, as noted in the listing instructions, is that there has been thorough discussion of the dispute. At this time I do not see evidence that there has yet been a significant discussion. If and when that changes, if there are still only two involved editors, you are welcome to re-file. Otherwise, you are welcome to pursue other forms of dispute resolution. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 01:29, 31 March 2025 (UTC) |
