| Zen, like you, I monitor changes to the University of Florida annd Florida Gators articles to revert vandalism edits and to make sure the crazy, non-relevant additions by Gator fans get whacked, too. Personally, I don't think the most recent edit to the Florida Gators football article is worthy of saving (i.e. the one about Stoops and the two BCS wins by the same school with the same coach, etc.). I will defer to you, but I think if we keep that kind of secondary trivia in the article, it ought to relegated to a sourced footnote. It also needs to be re-written to make to clarify what the user meant (I get it, but it's a monument to confusing prose). From my perspective, the 2 BCS wins, same coach reference looks like a fairly petty attempt to distinguish the Gators two BCS wins in three years from what LSU accomplished earlier. Just my 2 cents worth. ] (]) 23:56, 6 October 2009 (UTC) | |||

Logo
This logo is used excessively. On the individuel team articles like Florida Gators baseball you could make an argument to have the logo, although I would disagree, nonetheless I haven't removed it from there. On Florida Gators it passes for sure. But the usage of the logo on the individual year articles fails wp:nfcc. Garion96 (talk) 00:13, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- As I asked on your talk page, is there any new consensus about this? Over the past couple of years, I've read through several ridiculously long arguments on this very issue (e.g. using team logos on multiple season articles) but have never actually seen a consensus reached. As such, it's inappropriate to engage in wholesale independent removal of these images, imo. Zeng8r (talk) 00:23, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- What's to discuss about it, it is kind of obvious. You know, the free content encylopedia and all. Btw, this edit summary is interesting since you already reverted five of my edits. Garion96 (talk) 00:46, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- "What's to discuss"? I dunno, maybe the actual wikipedia policy on this issue? As for that edit summary, I was reverting the articles back to their long-time status quo while asking for some rationale to your edits. All you've expressed so far is "I don't like it", which doesn't really amount to anything except your personal opinion. If you browse through the relevant conversations, you'll find that your opinion is not exactly the clear consensus. I'll dig deeper tomorrow. In the meantime, let me say that your dismissive attitude isn't very conducive to constructive conversation. Zeng8r (talk) 04:48, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Please use a non-copyrighted logo (File:Script ``Gators``.png) instead of the non-free File:FloridaGators.png, per this discussion. Thanks — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 00:54, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the alternative. It's not the best solution, tho, since that isn't actually the official logo for the team. Zeng8r (talk) 04:48, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- As I thought, while there are some strong opinions on the logo issue, there is no consensus, so the de facto policy is to leave things be. Replacing the official logo with the "Gators" script is not a very good solution, imo, since the actual logo of the team should be in that spot. I don't think it's worth arguing over, tho, so whatever. Zeng8r (talk) 17:59, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

FYI: GA for Tampa, FL
Hi,
LALaker13 nominated Tampa, Florida for GA a while back. I just did a preliminary review with some requests for fixes. I noticed LALaker13 hasn't been editing for a couple of weeks. Since the GA nom can't be held open indefinitely I looked and saw you have contributed to the article recently. If you have an interest in helping to resolve the GA issues please feel free.
Thanks.

- Thanks for the heads-up. I wish I could help. During the school year, my edits are mostly confined to cleaning up vandalism and updating time-sensitive info. Your comments on the GA review were spot on, imo, but I just don't have time to get involved in the revisions right now. Zeng8r (talk) 01:07, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
