List?[edit]

I don't see any sources for the topic "president of Texas A&M University", so as such that concept is not notable. However, it should not be too difficult to re-work this article into a "List of presidents of Texas A&M University". --Randykitty (talk) 10:14, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Concept". Hilarious. Comical, even. No. Aquabluetesla (talk) 10:54, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Once you're done laughing, you could perhaps post a more serious answer. --Randykitty (talk) 08:25, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If no serious answer is forthcoming, I'll assume that there is no opposition to move this back to the original "list" title. --Randykitty (talk) 05:24, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but the "no" that you just added to your "hilarious" comment above is not really a serious answer either. You'll have to do better, per WP:BOLD (i.e., you "boldly" moved this to a new title and that edit is challenged). --Randykitty (talk) 06:32, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, please stop monitoring me. It’s borderline harassment at this point. I’d like to de-escalate. Aquabluetesla (talk) 07:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

?? When I look at your edit history, I see plenty of edits where I didn't check anything. Just behave like any other editor in good standing and answer politely-posed questions instead of making snarky remarks. --Randykitty (talk) 07:26, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Stop looking at my edit history every day and WP:Let it go. Aquabluetesla (talk) 07:34, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm amazed by your technical prowess. How did you get spyware on my computer to be able to say this? --Randykitty (talk) 08:23, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It would seem my assumption has been validated. Stop that please. Aquabluetesla (talk) 11:47, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dinwiddie Image[edit]

@Aquabluetesla I was wondering why you removed the image of Hardaway Hunt Dinwiddie? Your comment said " better quality image". Do you think the image that was used was poor? Do you have any suggestions? I have been researching Dinwiddie for almost 2 years and the image I provided is best I have found of him as an adult. I do have some good ones of him as a VMI Cadet, but that does not seem fitting. --Holtrk85 (talk) 04:07, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that image is poor. I would recommend looking at other published material that mention Dinwiddie. A better quality image might be included in them. Aquabluetesla (talk) 20:05, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
