Helmets

I noticed that you weren't fond of the helmets section on the Seminoles Football page. I think that it is an interesting section and that we should keep it if possible. I've messed around in a sandbox a bit and I think I've come up with a solution. I would appreciate your input on the talk page. Here's my idea. Ayzmo (talk) 05:06, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Florida State Seminoles men's basketball, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Steve Robinson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Florida State College football team 1902–1904

David, I have reverted your recent change to the Florida State Seminoles article. Specifically, the inaccuracy regarding the en masse transfer of the 1904 Florida State College football team to the new University of the State of Florida in Gainesville. It never happened, and unless you can produce a verifiable, reliable source per WP:V and WP:RS that says otherwise, it has no place in Wikipedia. Why do I know that such transfer did not happen? Because there was precisely one player from the last Lake City team in 1904 who played for the new UF team in Gainesville in 1906, and he had been a Lake City freshman in 1904. One true fact that gives rise to this myth was that FSC's last 1904 football coach, Jack Forsythe, later became the new UF's first 1906 football coach. Forsythe did not move directly from the old FSC to the new UF, either; Forsythe coached a year of high school football in a small town outside Atlanta before he was hired by the new UF in 1906. If you want to understand the early FSC football history better, I recommend that you read Ric A. Kabat's article, "Before the Seminoles: Football at Florida State College, 1902–1904," Florida Historical Quarterly, vol. LXX, no. 1, p. 35 (July 1991). FYI, my source for the one player who made the jump from Lake City to Gainesville is Tom McEwen's The Gators: A Story of Florida Football, The Strode Publishers, Huntsville, Alabama (1974). McEwen actually includes lists of the 1905 and 1906 UF team rosters; UF had a team in Lake City in 1905, but did not play any games after the 1905 season was canceled by the university president, Andrew Sledd. If you're old enough to remember, McEwen was a sports columnist for The Tampa Tribune for about 40 years. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:36, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And if I may jump in: David, please refrain from comments like this. It's unhelpful, untrue and quite close to a personal attack. Dirtlawyer knows his stuff, and being consistently "right" does not make him a tyrant. Now, even ignoring of the info/sources Dirtlawyer just posted above, the original section was unreferenced and could have been removed or modified on that alone; if you have any sources (I know little about the early years of FSU/FSC), please provide them.

Speedy deletion of image Picture_of_Doak_Campbell_Stadium_at_night.jpg

Hi, I had to nominate this file for speedy deletion because the orriginal copyrighholder mailed too OTRS and he stated that the original image was from his website. He mailed to OTRS ticket:2013110510016983. Wayback machine proved that the file was used on that specific website before you uploaded the file on Wikipedia. --Natuur12 (talk) 21:24, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

Proposed deletion of John Franklin III

Hello, Davidraider88. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, John Franklin III, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Proposed deletion of Sean Maguire (American football)

The article Sean Maguire (American football) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Former college football player who doesn't pass WP:GNG and WP:NCOLLATH, and doesn't pass WP:NATHLETE.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
