::{{Re|Sdkb}} How about, from [https://www.stanforddaily.com/2020/04/03/43rd-stanford-tree-talks-stunts-branching-out/ this article], something like this: "Although Stanford has no official school mascot, each year a student is chosen to be the "Stanford Tree" and wears a costume of their own creation."

== The Los Angeles Times reference of the first example is identified as Reliable for the wrong reason. ==
The first sample reference is identified as reliable because "news articles from the Los Angeles Times are considered generally reliable." However, the reference is to a blog post hosted by the L.A. Times; it is not to a news article in that publication. As it happens, the blog post is by a writer who works for the Times, so it might still be a reliable reference, but the reason given for it being reliable is not correct. I lack the experience to make an actual correction here and am simply bringing it to the attention of more experienced persons who might feel more confident in correcting it.
