Would people object to moving this page to Kansas State Wildcats? Smith03 00:23, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- Fine with me. It seems that all of the universities' athletic pages are changing to this type of designation. Kgwo1972 21:31, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Most successful basketball coaches
Seems a little funny to put Huggins in the "most successful" list before he's coached a game. Although he has had a lot of success generating buzz for the program and improving recruiting.
- Agreed. I wouldn't mind seeing Huggins removed from the list, since it is otherwise based on winning %. Basically, I don't care either way, but it is probably not encyclopedic to have Huggins on the list as it currently stands. Kgwo1972 22:09, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "K-State" designation
I realize that the official nickname is "K-State," but is it proper to use this title 10 times in an encyclopedic article? Should it not be standardized across the article? Some of the uses seem to be because of the writers overuse of the name, and has substituted it with something shorter and easier to read. This may need to be re-written to make it easier to read, possibly eliminating some of the overuse. Jlricherson 05:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rolando.jpg
Image:Rolando.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 07:38, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion of proposed merger of Kansas State track and field
The website proposed to be merged with this page actually covers high school track and field in the state of Kansas, not the sport of track and field at Kansas State University. Therefore, a merger with this Kansas State Wildcats article would be inappropriate. Kgwo1972 23:16, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- Oops. Didn't see that. Never mind then. --Alynna 23:58, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Perfect "regular season" in 1998?
This comment is made in response to an edit by an anonymous poster. I believe that the the Big 12 Championship Game is not part of the regular season, and the article itself states that the championship game is "held after the regular season is completed." Therefore, I believe it is proper to say KSU had a perfect 11-0 regular season in 1998. Kgwo1972 03:18, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- hmmm... I'm a Wildcat fan, so I'm looking at this through "Purple-Colored Glasses" and I'd really, really, really like to agree. Do conference championships count for "regular season" games... I'd have to ask: what do other conferences do? And the first thing that comes to mind is several other conferences don't even have a conference championship game! It makes sense to say that the "regular season" record was 11-0, but to be fair it should also mention within the same sentence (or at least the same paragraph) that the conference championship game was lost, but it is generally not considered to be a regular season game.
- At the same time, I hear about schools (KSU included) saying the have a 9-win season, and those wins include any conference championship games and bowl games. There is definitely room for a lot of confusion here.--Paul McDonald 03:51, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks for your thoughts. I'll just add the loss in the CCG to the relevant sentence to make it more clear. Kgwo1972 22:47, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
