Titletown USA
editIf you wish to have a ESPN page dealing with their Titletown USA program then create a page specific for ESPN. Titletown USA is a trademarked name for the city of Green Bay, WI and therefor such a title in Wikipedia will be used exclusively for Green Bay, WI. Any variation of the name will also be used for Green Bay, WI. Such a page for ESPN's segment should include ESPN in the title.
Okay, I was confused because you changed the Titletown USA from a copy of the Green Bay, WI page to a redirect...where I had origingally changed it from ESPN's Titletown page to the Green Bay page...okay we are on the same page then. I'm a Pats fan and thus aren't a huge packers fan (stemming from the superbowl in the 90's) but i'm a purist and believe ESPN's segment was a total mockery.
Your opinion regarding the relevancy of the ESPN Titletown USA title should be relegated to it's own page. Inserting this into the Valdosta page is not germane. The fact remains that Valdosta won this particular contest. Whether or not you believe it's bogus is a matter of opinion and phrasing this as "despite the fact..." is implicitly judgmental, IMO. Perhaps it would be better to say that Valdosta won the "ESPN Titletown USA", but your version is not appropriate for this section. My revisions were not "vandalism" and I don't appreciate the threat to ban.69.134.127.3 (talk) 04:39, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- You are not the sole decisionmaker on this matter. See Wikipedia:Ownership of articles. It appears to me that you are trying to stir up controversy. After the contest was over, several people were editing the Titletown USA redirects, and you are the one that kept reverting. I believe you violated the spirit of the 3 revert rule, if not committed a letter violation as well. Wikipedia is about consensus, and your belief that Green Bay should have the redirect when the American people voted that they believe another city is TitleTown USA does not control. No consensus was reached on Wikipedia, but I was happy with the settlement of the disambig page that somebody else put up. You reverted multiple people and your version has lasted because nobody else cares enough to get into an edit war with you about it, nor do we want to intentionally violate the 3 revert rule. The trademark issue is a valid point in debate, but we don't redirect every version of 12th man to Texas A & M University, even though they own the trademark. It's not worth it to me to get into an edit war. Keep it how you want, but your warning on my page was absolutely rediculous when you were the one editing in a manner inconsistent with wikipedia policy. Don't threaten me with a ban when you are the one that broke established policy. 76.97.92.240 (talk) 13:30, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
- Further to this please do misuse vandalism templates to push your point-of-view. They should be used for instances of vandalism, not because someone disagrees with your opinion. I did not appreciate being called a vandal either. Also whether a term is supposedly trademarked is irrelevant. You may wish to read trademark and trademark distinctiveness to understand why.
