[edit] Dick Cavett

I noticed that Mr. Cavett does the Nebraska promotional commercials during the UN games. What connection does he have to the school? Has he contributed to the perfroming arts department with either money or time? WikiDon 18:32, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Cavett's family lived throughout Nebraska -- Gibbon, Grand Island, Lincoln, at least -- he attended Yale.75.117.98.184 02:17, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Logo vs. seal

The UNL logo is associated with this campus only; the seal is used for the entire University of Nebraska system. Therefore, the seal should only be used on that page. – Swid ^{(talk | edits)} 14:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

The "System Seal" actually evolved from the UNL seal, so it's inclusion with the UNL logo is relevent. BCV 01:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] notable people

I think we should expand the notable people to be like other universities. Many people are missing, such as the people in this category: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:University_of_Nebraska-Lincoln_alumni not to mention the slew of athletes that came from NU. Other universities have separate pages and have everyone categorized. Some good examples: List of University of Minnesota people List of University of Michigan alumni —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rickyricky (talk • contribs) 00:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Unlofficialseal.gif

Image:Unlofficialseal.gif 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
