At the end of your messages you must put your signature by signing with four ~~~~ (just as I have done) or by pressing the button in the editor bar as shown here in the picture. By the way, you don't need to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted.

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ElKevbo (talk) 21:49, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

What's with the Iowa–Nebraska football rivalry edits?

As your only warning was a year and a half ago, I hate to block you for your edits to Iowa–Nebraska football rivalry and related articles. However, your edits—breaking links, removing the game from a list of rivalries, etc.—are not constructive. If you keep making them without a valid explanation, you will wind up blocked. —C.Fred (talk) 01:15, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your note and the opportunity to talk about this edit. I have likely violated some rules regarding link-breaking, and for that I apologize. Thank you for your leniency. But my primary motivation for removing University of Nebraska football as a "rival" of University of Iowa football is, simply, that Iowa is and has never been a rival of Nebraska. There are several reasons Nebraska is not a rival of Iowa, mostly due to national reputation (Nebraska has five national titles, Iowa a disputed one), win percentage between the two teams, and success on the field over time. Before November 29, 2013, Iowa had not beaten Nebraska in Lincoln for 70 years (1943), and had not beaten Nebraska at all in 33 years (three-point Iowa win in Iowa City, 1981). Before I present several more reasons, please answer what burden exists for the Wikipedia contributor or editor to simply call competition between two football schools a "rivalry?" More simply, on what basis can someone simply label something a "rivalry?" Few outside of Iowa, and many native Iowans themselves would call Iowa a rival of Nebraska in football. Please get back on what basis someone can simply call something so lopsided as Nebraska's .742 win percentage over Iowa (http://football.stassen.com/cgi-bin/records/opp-opp.pl?start=1869&end=2013&team1=Iowa&team2=Nebraska)? Just trying to make Wikipedia more accurate. Thank you.
